does this affect the sheen or texture of the thread?

Very common with DMC thread. Make sure that you are using thread lengths no longer than 18in/45cm. Keeping the tread short helps.

It can make them feel "SOFTER" but so much easier to use and any residue wax washes or irons out (cover with a clean damp cloth when ironing!) Also I only use a recommended disc such as Impex Bees Wax for Sewing/Embroidery or bees wax bar.
