    Hi guys,



    I have a question and I hope I don`t sound like an idiot here.





    What is the difference between a liquid wax, soft paste wax and hard paste wax?



    I have been told that paste waxes last longer as they contain less solvents, is this true?



    Thanks

    Q: What is the difference between a liquid wax, soft paste wax and hard paste wax?

    A: Silicone is usually added to aid ‘spreadability’ (is that a word?) along with solvents to soften the wax, how much solvent is added will affect the consistancy



    Q:I have been told that paste waxes last longer as they contain less solvents, is this true?

    A: Yes



    ~Hope this helps~
