what do i do with beeswax?

[shrub]

i've bought a slab of beeswax to clean an old table but i don't know what to do with it! can anyone advise please?

Matron! The screens

Wax bees?

you rub it in with an old cloth then buff it with a clean cloth after

rub in in with the finest wire wool you can find (I seem to remember). Are you going to sand the table first?

oh dear I read the title too fast and thought you said earwax.... and thought, oohh, better check this out

ghengis - i say!
hmb - well..you could be onto something there
fio2 - the beeswax is hard - do i melt it?
countessdracula - yes i will be sanding it when i have enough energy....
frenchgirl - a teaspoon of warm olive oil works wonders and remember never put anything down your ear smaller than your elbow

shrub, if you give me olive oil I will simply have to add some vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and make a little vinaigrette!

that's after I have managed to extract my elbow from my ear (you were right about that one...)
