Hi, when I use this wax, I keep it out of the checkering. I just was a soft rag and wax around the checkering, you really don't need to wax the checkering. If some does get into it, like Philbert said, just use a toothbrush.

One thing with Ren wax, don't let it dry too much. If it gets hard it's a bit of a chore to get off. What I do is wax one side of the stock, then apply to the other side. When that's done, I buff the first side I applied it to.

Good Luck!
