Breastmilk disolves Ubeaut traditional wax.

Thats all I have to say!

Doesn't want to appear a boob by saying anything silly (he he he titter titter ) and causing people to try and keep a breast, and make rude comments, or milk this thread, without needing, better to keep it all bottled up.

Very funny Ashore, the system tells me that I've recently given you a greenie. I cant imagine what for :cool:

The question is, how do I fix the problem? A peg?? :eek: :eek:

No seriously theres a small patch thats gone opaque and raised a bit, I'm sure I could scrape it off. Do I scrape it off around the..umm :o ....damage and then just buff some more wax into it?

Adam,

All jokes aside, was it regurgitated milk or not. Perhaps if it was regurgitated, there could be acids etc contained in what spilt on the box.

Have you tried experimenting with cows milk or formula milk on a test piece?

Perhaps Neil could do a study on the topic and perhaps gain his Phd.

Dr UBeaut - we would need a prescription to buy the UBeaut products!

Was this from initial supply breast milk or that which has been returned after use.

ie Drip or spit.

[LineLefty]

Believe it or not, it wasnt actually my wifes. :eek:
A lady from her mothers group was over and here 2month old puked a bit of bm onto the toybox. Not sure wether it contained much acid. If it come straight back up then its usually the same as it went down but if it's been a while since theyve fed then it smells, well, like puke.

Perhaps you're right and it's the acid content?

PS: How could anyone possibly consider having another baby so soon (10 months) Youd have to be a nutcase!

I haven't used it my self and am looking forward to getting some EEE at the newcastle wood show , but from what i've rean in other posts this polish may just do the trick , then again I don't know how you would go in just one spot you may have to do the whole top
The other out , seeing its a toy box , could you cover the damaged area with a vinal sticker of bob the builder or similar

Any moisture will generally mark a waxed finish.

I dont think he was joking about it. :confused:

Al :confused:

[RETIRED]

As Al said I was not joking, stating a fact.

[DavidG]

Rub it out with EEE followed by some wax again.

[gatiep]

Maybe the reason why the baby brought it up was because his mom was hi on metho when she fed him. The metho made him puke and then dissolved the wax.

:eek:

[ubeaut]

Most if not all waxes are pretty easily effected by moisture of almost any kind. However, I think you'll find the main problem here is damage to the Organoil (which in many instances marks and damages easier than wax) this would account for much of the opaqueness and the raised section of timber. An invisible repair may be hard to affect without redoing the entire top.

You really need many coats of wax before you will have any chance of stopping this kind of damage happening. Personally I wouldn't use wax on any kind of furniture etc that was for use with children, becaues of sticky fingers, wet bums, dribble, baby bottles, water and formula spills, paint spills, and all things wet and kiddish, not to mention mothers milk (sorry, had to mention it). There are plenty of infinitely more durable surfaces and none of them are wax or most oils (including organoils)

Cheers - Neil :)

:eek:Doubt it she may not have been a yarpie
Very few if any mothers in australia drink metho while breast feeding
However far too many do smoke, which was announced today that they have proved a positave link between smoking during pregnancy and attention dissorder problems.

Sorry this seems to be a serious thread.

Twas supposed to be funny!

Not being a person that use oil for obvious reasons on my turned stuff, my finish of choice being Neils Shellawaxes and shellac, I wouldn't know what caused it for shure anyway. I am happy to accept Neils explanation and choice of finish for baby furniture.
