>> was I just lucky or are some newer wb finishes different?
I have seen cases where waterborne was damaged by Original Briwax after even more than a year.
My point is that unless you need the cleaning power of toluene, you are much safer to use there re-formulated Briwax 2000. You know there will be no problem. Many finishers can attest to the damage that Original Briwax can do to oil based and waterborne finishes.
