This solid wax is used as a final layer on the edges of the leather to smooth them, protect them against humidity and wear, and give them a luxurious shine.
It is used after applying a finishing eraser (e.g. Tokonole) or an edge finish.
This wax gives a marbled effect: for an even coloring, we recommend applying a dye beforehand.

Instructions for shiny leather edges :
- Sand the edge of the leather and remove the dust.
- Apply an edge finishing eraser, edge finish or stain then rub briskly with a cloth or a smoother/burnisher to polish the edge.
- Rub the Columbus wax block vigorously on the edge then polish with a cloth.
It is also possible to apply the wax hot (with a wax spatula for an electric threading iron, for example). Once the wax has cooled, polish the edges with a cloth or burnisher.
- For optimal shine, lightly sand the edge with 1000 grit sandpaper and apply a second coat of Columbus wax.
- Do not apply other edge finishing products after waxing (this may impair adhesion).

Instructions for waxing sewing threads :
- Wedge the thread between your thumb and the block of wax.
- Slide the thread under tension to distribute the wax.
