He said that he always carried a blow torch and a can of Johnson's Wax to mend scratches and scuffs on his travel samples of Witco. He said that that stuff was always splitting and cracking and that he would hit it with the blowtorch lightly and then use a rag and buff off the charred wood with Johnson's Wax. http://www.castlewholesalers.com/JOHNSON-Paste-Wax-1-Lb-Can.html
