>What's the trick to getting a smooth even line of wax?

Jean, two ideas that may help. One, use a small piece of sponge instead of a
brush to apply wax. Squeezing wax out of the sponge before you use it will
help prevent drips. Press your middle finger against the bottom of the pot
and let your index finger curve the edge of the sponge around the edge of the
pot. You'll get an even line because the edge of the pot rests in the V
between your two fingers.
Two, try holding the sponge still and turning the piece instead of vice
versa.
This works just as well if you're using a brush..
Aftosa wax is colored a light green, so you can see where you have put it. I
add food coloring to white wax to achieve the same result.
