Don't waste time or money with shipping!
It's a very common item, about as difficult to find as mineral oil. (Which is to say, not even the most remote reaches of the outback would be without butcher's (aka floor wax)) |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I use my finger tips and just rub it in. Then let it dry a bit, and then with a soft terry towel or soft paper towel like bounty, rub to a sheen. I found if I rub too hard with 0000 steel wool, some of the finish can come off. So if you go with steel wool, even the fine stuff, be careful. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | this guitar has an oiled neck... finish won't be an issue. In essence the wax becomes the finish.
(still... don't go nuts rubbing with the steel wool and only use the super fine stuff) |
