Sprayable Wax - does it exist?

<< < (8/9) > >>

awemawson:
I bet none of these commercial alternatives smell as good as my Genuine Turpentine and Beeswax concoction.  :clap:

mcostello:
Do They make bees wax like They make baby oil?

Back in the 70s when I was an apprentice we used to wash the lathe down wit an oil/paraffin mix, maybe 10 to 20% oil.
These days I mix slideway oil and automotive panel wipe mixture.
The panel wipe cleans the machine then leaves a very thin film of oil.
Obviously no use on wood working machinery, but would beeswax dissolve in panel wipe, to be fair I have only "speed" read this thread, but just wondered.

Phil, I'd be surprised if it didn't - it seems to dissolve in most spirity solvents - just the time taken seems to vary

Pretty much all common oils, waxes and solvents work in rust retardant. And pretty much the only problem is with "wax" residue with finishing system. Best to clear off all silicon and such....problem being that many incredients are "trade secret" or low quantity (impurities etc.) that does not interest concotion marketer, but interests the person that sprays paint/laccure and it has million blisters.

Once I was renovating daugter's room and had considerable problme painting radior....after washing, stripping the pain, matting and the paint developed silicon tell tale blisters....had to ditch the paint, roller, brush and tray, lett the paint dry, wash it with silicon remover, mat, repaint. Clacking bell.

I have heard may times someone spraying the first dry lubricant or such "universal oil" on the garge on the thicknesplaner and then had troublem with laquere.

I would trust pretty much on besswax and "natural" solvents if my finish has same incredients.
