Finishing internal doors - white wax patches?

[rjm2k]

Trying to work out where I went wrong, I used sanding sealer followed by clear briwax on our new internal oak doors.

The wax was applied and allowed to dry ready for buffing as in the instructions, but there are a lot of white patches where it has gathered too much, particularly around the beading etc. I've spent quite a while scraping what I can out of corners etc but wonder how to improve it.

I'm wondering if gently heating the wax with a hair dryer to soften it whilst buffing will help me?

Also, I have 1 more door to do when it's hung and don't want to go through the same again so how do I avoid it?

TIA

some thoughts;sanding sealer too thick, one thin coat is enough or lumps of soft wax in mouldings try buffing up the moulding's with a brush just like buffing up a pair of shoes .

Thanks, the shop I got everything from (doors, sealer and wax) told me they usually put 2 coats of sealer on which is what I did.

Is any soft cloth ok for buffing, or are there better types like microfibre?

use an old "T" shirt and a natural fibre brush
