I prefer paste wax, however when I purchased the business from a die-hard floorman. He had a special technique where he dissolved wax in thinner and applied it with a bristle brush. I didn't learn the technique. He may have used shellac to seal the floor first.
I got a little one gallon metal pail with the wax on top where the 6 " brush was sticking out and about a pint of thinner under the semi-solid wax. Any way to get the wax on easier will save work. A fan in a doorway will dry the solvent quickly.
This may have been good enough for rental units, but I would have rather sanded floors instead.
I would never have guessed that wax protected floor finish would come back in style.
Slim at Floor Service Supply here in San Jose always said that if there was wax on the floor the varnish would be protected.
