    Disclosing wax and Wax finishing 

    Another simple and cost effective way make wax burnishers and
    scrapers is to use up your old steel clothes hangers that you get
    from the dry cleaners. The wire is about 3/32" (2.5 mm) diameter. To
    make it wider and/or flatter, simply heat a small piece until it is
    red hot and flatten on an anvil or other suitable surface. Then
    shape with a grinder or file and polish on a sharpening stone and
    emery. The piece can also be bent to any desired angle to fit into
    those awkward places. To make it more comfortable to use, mount in a
    3/8" - 1/2" (10 - 13 mm) dia. wooden dowel. They're not high speed
    tool steel, but work well on wax.
