Ozwinner:
Firstly: wash it down with mineral turps. That is most likely the solvent used in the manufacture.
And firstly: wipe it with a clean rag to remove all traces of the wax.
But firstly: after that make sure the whole thing is dried down properly then firstly give it all a wash off with metho.
Then if you wish you can apply your first coat of shellac.
But firstly: What was wrong with the finish you had applied firstly? Did it look terrible? If not then why do you want to mess with it?
You may do better to give it a few more coats of a harder wax especially if you have just used a beeswax paste.
Firstly but not least I hope this is of some help.
Cheers - Neil

Then firstly after that I put on some of your beautiful traditional wax.
Maybe I should firStly put on more traditional wax.
The reason I was thinking of removeing the oil was firstly it looks dead and dull, but maybe with more wax it will come more shinyerer.
I gave it two hits with the traditional wax in the first place, firstly that is.
Cheers, Al
Did I mention
