    Waxing a pen

    I was chatting to someone a few weeks ago and they told me that they always wax a pen regardless of the finish (C.A, melamine etc) or if it is Acrylic or wood. Since then it has been revolving around my head as to why they would do that. I was going to ask on here but feel you may all be tiring...
