The thread gloss smells nice but it is a hard wax and when I apply it, I have to use quite a bit. Sometimes it needs a bit more for the threads to stick together, but the issue with that is that it gets held up in the stitch and the wax then accumulates where the needle pierced the fabric as you pull the thread, which is annoying. Perhaps I may not be using it correctly,but I don't reach for it much for to the above mentioned reasons.
