Vicki is worse than Tamra

Been a viewer for a long time. I used to think that Tamra was the absolute worst on this cast, but I’ve decided that — it’s actually Vicki. Hard stop.

She’s a terrible person with terrible views that actively plays dumb while constantly being a b*tch to everyone. She’s a true Debbie Downer.

Large brass light fixtures

Hey folks! I need to polish up these large brass lamps that’ll be hung in the design studio I work at. Anyone have any tips that don’t involve me unaliving my arms with steel wool & Brasso?

They’ll all be fully rewired after with new sockets.

They’re all about about 18” in diameter… and there are 14 of them. Any tips welcome.

I have a job where I work refinishing/cleaning up antique furniture for an interior designer. She wants paste wax used on the furniture & I have essentially no experience using it.

Everything I’ve read says to apply in thin layers & then to buff it off. Once applied, I’m only allowing it to sit on the piece for 15-30 minutes before buffing it with an orbital sander & buffing pad.

I’m having a problem with stickiness. Furs from the pad are sticking to/embedding in the wax & are an absolute pain to get out.

I feel like I’ve read tons about the usage, yet I’m still having trouble. Any experienced opinion is appreciated. Pictured below are the wax & pads I’m using.

Am I leaving it on too long? Should I leave it on longer? Kinda lost. Much appreciated.
