Since the beloved Johnson's Paste Wax is discontinued. This new Forge Wax has proved to be a great replacement 8oz
Tips and suggestions for use
Apply at the lower end of or preferably just below the smoke point. The smoke point for this product is a bit higher than Johnson’s so it should give you a slightly larger window for hot application. Whatever you do, please do not apply so hot that you burn/melt the brush. You will get nasty burnt crud and discoloration in the finish.
Apply with a chip brush, I’m partial to the cheap 1” brushes you can buy in bulk at every home-goods store.
Don’t over-apply. A thin coat is all that is needed, too much product could result in a a slightly tacky finish. If there is an abundance of product on the piece it will wipe off easily while warm.
Wipe/buff the piece once it has cooled with cloth or a paper towel. This step makes a huge noticeable difference.
Tips for cold application: Even though this has been designed with hot application in mind, it’s still designed specifically for metal and I’ve been using it with great success on several other items including cast iron surfaces, tables, vises, etc.
Ideally you can quickly run a torch or heat-gun over the surface to get the metal to sweat out the condensation. Wipe off the condensation with a clean rag or paper towel.
Apply product with a cloth, or non-abrasive pad with medium pressure in a circular motion.
Allow the product to dry–time will vary depending on conditions–usually about 5-10 minutes. And then buff the product off with a clean rag. You should be left with an incredibly slick high gloss surface.
