Review: Great low-odor alternative that protects and repels water - I used this finishing wax during a DIY project on my kitchen cabinets, and it worked out really well. I wanted something to protect the surface without using polyurethane due to the strong fumes, and this was a great alternative. It’s easy to apply — just wipe on and wipe off — and it leaves a nice, protective finish. After several months, the cabinets still look great, and the surface holds up well. Water beads right off, which is exactly what I was hoping for in a kitchen environment. I’ve also used it on other items since then with good results. If you’re looking for a lower-odor option that still provides solid protection, this is a great choice. Five stars. ## Features - WOOD PASTE – Minwax Paste Finishing Wax protects & adds hand rubbed luster to any finished wood surface.

I need to apply it over a white paint.** A: We ordered this twice and received 'natural' (both times) which will not work over white paint, but is meant to be applied to natural wood. Amazon was good about sending another for free, but we received natural again. It sounds like from other reviewers this is supposed to be clear minwax. The word natural is under the bold 'finishing wax' logo with a color swatch of natural wood grain - FYI. **Q: Is this the paste wax recommended for waxing a table saw &/or jointer top?** A: I started using it 3 years ago on all my woodworking tools with any kind of surface, metal or wood. I sometimes build wood or melamine auxillary tables for my tools for big projects. Stay away from waxes with silicone in them for wood working purposes. If there is any silicone residue left on the tool's surface and it transfers to the wood you're cutting it could prevent that piece from taking a finish or even create a weakend glue joint. This wax will not do that. BUT to be perfectly safe buff it off well B4 using it. This stuff works great for creating a slick surface. I even use it on finished wood like drawers that slide on wooden runners. Wax on, Wax off just like the movie. **Q: After reading the reviews, i'm totally confused. i want to use this on annie sloan's old white, some say it's great, some say it's orangey and will ch** A: I use it all the time ... It works for me **Q: I just ordered this product and am wondering if it's supposed to be solid? I was expecting more of a paste consistency, as the label implies.** A: While wearing gloves use an old spoon or stick to take out a small amount of the wax. With whatever your using it to apply (I use cheese cloth)it will be come smooth and cream as you rub it into your furniture. I actually let it sit for a bit, then rub with the grain until actual results are obtained.I have a special brush, a semi-firm round bristle brush to get into all the nooks and spaces.In warmer weather the paste is softer, but it does warm with the warmth of your hand. Please DO NOT try and heat it any other way, as it is flammable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wax! *by M***K on June 20, 2026* Easy to use protection for my antiques. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great low-odor alternative that protects and repels water *by M***A on April 14, 2026* I used this finishing wax during a DIY project on my kitchen cabinets, and it worked out really well.

The Minwax Paste Finishing Wax worked perfectly. It was initially a little stiff and crumbly, but melted nicely once I balled up a golf ball sized wad wrapped inside a couple layers of cheesecloth. I rubbed it in using small circles, let it dry an hour or so, repeated once, then finally buffed with a microfiber cloth. Got exactly the sheen I wanted, a happy wife, a happy life! ## Frequently Bought Together - 1 lb Minwax 78500 Natural Paste Finishing Wax Protective Finish - Minwax Available 671004444 Teak Oil, Quart, Clear, 32 Fl Oz - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2290395-minwax-paste-finishing-wax-natural-1-lb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2290395-minwax-paste-finishing-wax-natural-1-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
