I've been having some stickiness issues on the shaft and thought This stuff might be the ticket. I play 6-8hrs at a time and about half way through, things start to gunk up. I need to burnish it it by rubbing it across my pant leg a few times and I'm good to go. Lately, I have avoided touching food, my face, anything with oil. It seems to be helping but not eliminating the problem. Can the renaissance wax be applied easily without a lathe? Any tips on application? Thanks for the help.
