I use butchers paste wax. Wipe on, Wipe off when film forms but before it hardens, then buff with a clean cloth. Lasts a long time and no silicone residue. I also dip screws into it before trying to screw bases onto scrolled pieces. It makes inserting the small screws much easier, even if you drilled pilot holes and counter sinks, especially with hard woods like maple, birch, mahogany or oak. It also works great with large sized screws used in construction or cabinet work.

All wax is combustible, that is why candles are mad from wax. Just keep it was from open flame and you will be fine. I use Johnson's Paste Wax on all tool tables, works great.

I have always found it easy to take some wax paper from the kitchen, wrinkle it up into a ball and rub the table.

I don't know if it has silicone in it, but I havent had any issues in finishing.

I use (when I remember!) car wax that is Carnuba Wax. Works great for me.

CanadianScroller, there wouldn't be silicone in wax paper. How often do you do this? Doesn't seem like you would get very much wax on the table with wax paper.
I use Johnson's paste wax about once a month.

I also use paste wax both Johnson's and Minwax works well for me. Minwax seems to last a little longer than Johnson's.
