Can you stain wood after you put polyurethane on it?
if you have used a wax finishing agent on your subject piece, it might not be a good idea to use polyurethane over it. You probably should strip the wax coat as best as you can and then coat with poly. something tells me that since wax is an "organic base" material and urethane is synthetic, it might react with each other in a adverse way, or the poly won't adhere to the wood at all. Try contacting a builder's supply outfit and ask for specific information on this subject. Don't take a chance and ruin a good piece of wood. Good Luck!

How do you remove wax polish prior to painting furniture?
Before repainting any furniture or cabinets, it's a good idea to wash it first with trisodium phosphate (TSP), which is found in the paint section of the hardware store. To remove heavy wax build-up, use mineral spirits or paint thinner, rags, and lots of elbow grease. You might have to use fine steel wool, especially if the wax is in crevices. Remember, your goal is to remove the wax, not damage the wood. Any wax left on the wood will prevent the paint from sticking as it should, and you will be left with streaks.
How do you get red candle wax off of a wood mantel?
First, scrape off as much wax as you can using a plastic lifter, the kind you use on teflon pans. If there are indentations in the wood, use a smaller tool, even a wooden toothpick for small spaces. Try not to use metal utensils which will damage the wood. Once you have removed as much wax as possible using this method, remove the rest with hot water and soap. Fill a bowl with the hottest water you can tolerate using rubber gloves. Dip a cloth in the water and wring out the cloth before applying it to the wood. The heat in the cloth will melt the wax into the cloth. Keep doing this until the wax is gone. Dry the wood immediately with a dry cloth. When the wood is completely dry, apply a coating of oil or furniture polish depending on what type of finish is already on the mantle. If the mantle had a varathane coating, the oil or funiture polish won't be necessary. Dump the water from the bowl outside to keep the wax out of your drains. - Dave.
