Breastmilk disolves Ubeaut traditional wax.

[ubeaut]

Most if not all waxes are pretty easily effected by moisture of almost any kind. However, I think you'll find the main problem here is damage to the Organoil (which in many instances marks and damages easier than wax) this would account for much of the opaqueness and the raised section of timber. An invisible repair may be hard to affect without redoing the entire top.

You really need many coats of wax before you will have any chance of stopping this kind of damage happening. Personally I wouldn't use wax on any kind of furniture etc that was for use with children, becaues of sticky fingers, wet bums, dribble, baby bottles, water and formula spills, paint spills, and all things wet and kiddish, not to mention mothers milk (sorry, had to mention it). There are plenty of infinitely more durable surfaces and none of them are wax or most oils (including organoils)

Maybe the reason why the baby brought it up was because his mom was hi on metho when she fed him. The metho made him puke and then dissolved the wax.

:eek:

Doubt it she may not have been a yarpie
Very few if any mothers in australia drink metho while breast feeding
However far too many do smoke, which was announced today that they have proved a positave link between smoking during pregnancy and attention dissorder problems.

About 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year.

Sorry this seems to be a serious thread.

Twas supposed to be funny!

Not being a person that use oil for obvious reasons on my turned stuff, my finish of choice being Neils Shellawaxes and shellac, I wouldn't know what caused it for shure anyway. I am happy to accept Neils explanation and choice of finish for baby furniture.
