Simplifying, imagine Waxed Resin being synonymous with Finishing Resin. Curing to a dry, non-tacky surface in 4-6 hours, Waxed Resin is intended to be used when working with our finishing layer. The science behind it is interesting, but for our purposes, a detailed description of the how, and why is not really necessary. What we can be sure of is that the addition of wax allows for our composite to cure in a way that allows for secondary applications such as sanding, which would then allow us to paint.
