I meant, only as much as the grooves of my fingerprints with hold.
I touch the surface of the wax with my

If you put on even a little too much, you see whitish wax deposits (whitish because aerated) in between the letters, in the eye, in the hair, etc. That means "too much", and Potator's method of removing it needs to be used.
My grammar was bad. It seemed as if 'doigt' was the antecedent of 'que'.
