<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 3996271, member: 90772&quot;]If your waxed coins are attracting fuzz or dust then you are just putting too much on. A very tiny amount of Renwax goes a loooong way! I&#039;ve never had it leave residues or marks on the trays I store my coins in. I&#039;ve never had any trouble removing it. Lacquer thinner and other solvents do the trick. I generally use it on sestertius coins that have been cleaned down to the bare metal sometime in the past and have weak or artificial patinas. These patinas can be fragile and sometimes scratch or wear easily with handling. I prefer to protect them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about how much crap some ancient coins have on them. Think of the accumulation of pollution from candles and fireplaces throughout hundreds of years.</p><p>The oils from countless fingers. Some have been laquered or even rubbed down with animal fats. Who hasn&#039;t put olive oil on a coin? I can&#039;t begin to predict how Renwax will react to differently aged surfaces with variable porosity. Maybe Renwax is just another fad in a long history of crackpot coin preserving techniques but there are certainly worse things that can be done to a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
