FIDDES SUPREME WAX:  I use this wax on many of my projects.  I'll admit there's a slight bit of a learning curve if you are using this over paint but I'm addicted and so are many of my "junkin' friends" who have figured it out....we call it "secret sauce"....so I guess the secret is out!  It is a wax, so it does repel water but it also absorbs into your project and if left outdoors will need to be re-applied more frequently than if your project lives indoors.
