I've made a couple that I still have here..I should blow the dust off them and try the paste wax..LOL. Although what I used (Probably Clarity back then..) has done a wonderful job holding onto the dust. Just kidding.
I do have a couple of Odyssey lamp forms I keep saying I'm going to get around to working on. But right now since my main electrical box seems to have some issues..either that or all of my appliances are going on the frizt, not to mention trying to get ready for the little show I'm doing in Nov, or stopping by to help my mother with her concerns all have done a great job keeping me from being productive in the glass room. Ah, the frustration...

When you move into shades which have a brown or bronze patina finish, everything still works (Pldege and car wax) but Kiwi brown shoe polish is superior and about ten times harder to get off the glass. The dyes used in the polish make the patina rich looking.
My tests showed that Pledge and car wax used on shades do attract as much dust as anything else and after so many years both become sticky. Then the shade has to be stripped of the buildup by a good washing.
