The point being, it's easy to keep a little piece of real beeswax in 
a small ziploc bag in your kit, so that if an artist complains about 
slippery keys, you can fix the problem in minutes. No taking the keys 
home and laboriously using steel wool and buffing, hoping to end up 
with just the right feeling.

Also, I like reversible techniques. It wouldn't be that hard to take 
most of the beeswax back off if necessary, but you can't undo 
sanding, buffing, etc.
