If you use bees wax on a plane will it affect finishes
As long as you don't glob it onto the tool, and dry/ buff the wax before use, you should not have any issues. I've used beeswax, paste wax, and paraffin, with both oil and water-based finishes, and never had a problem. But, I will typically sand/ scrape/ clean the surface after planing, which would remove any residual wax. That's good practice anyway, there are lots of other possible sources of contamination, including fingers!If you use bees wax on a plane will it affect finishes
