There is no better tool for working with wax than the Round Pine Brush. If you are trying to achieve a high, hard luster with Fiddes Wax, this is the tool to do it with. It will save you both time and labor, and also bring the wax to a higher and harder luster than can usually be achieved by hand. Often, when buffing by hand on porous surfaces, a cloth or lambs wool rides above and glides on the high points and these high points are burnished, but the lows are left untouched. The Round Pine Brush bristles poke deep into recesses of carvings and moldings, and also deep into the pores of an open surface which results in more of the wax being burnished and brought to a luster. In order to achieve a high, hard lustrous wax finish, the key is to apply an optimally thin coat which is then burnished to a luster. Begin by applying Fiddes Wax, usually with #0000 steel wool, to a super thin film, let the solvent evaporate off, and then utilize this brush on a drill to buff it up. Let the drill provide the elbow grease.
