Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

The first thing I did was to cover the edges of the plywood slide with some painters tape. I wanted to wax the sliding edges before putting any finish on the plywood.

Why? I want the wax to impregnate the wood, instead of sitting on top of a finish. Once the wax is in the wood, the mating parts will slide for a long time before needing any additional waxing.

Therefore, the tape will keep the wax off of the plywood that I intend to add a finish to, while allowing me to wax the sliding runners.
