    Oh, forgot to mention I found an old tub of the wax lurking in a dark corner the other week and it was hard as well.
    So I knocked it out of the tub and used it like a surf board wax block, then vigorously rubbed it and found that the friction heat melted it and spread it nicely.. Set nice and hard and buffed up a treat.. Hard yakka though...

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Maybe if I was a board rider that might have come to me sooner.

    Had 2 pots of the stuff and both were as hard as ....... well, harder than hard stuff. Had to leave it out in the full sun for at least half a day so that it just softened a teeny weeny bit and then go at it like that Disney Tasmanian Devil before it started to solidify again. Talk about hard work.

    The rosewood FB on this one was pretty light hence why it looks unfinished whilst the wax did an amazing job on the EX-5 bringing up almost like ebony.
