New Wax on Cocobolo Euro

[splinter99]

Some of you know that I work at Harbor Freight Tools, Last week we recieved a shipment of Collinite's No.845 Insulator wax, It says its for use on high voltage power lines to prevent flash over and can be used on cars, boats and air craft to create an almost industructible
protective coating. I dabed a little on the pen I had with me and it smells a little like Ren wax, I polished it with a soft cloth and then buffed it out when I got home. I gave it a second coat and here is the results. Our price is $12.99 for 16 oz..
Im going to try it as an alrernitive to ren wax..so far so good

Finish is CA/BLO and 2 coats of insulator wax
Let me know your thoughts on this of if anyone has ever tried this before
Thanks for looking

Is that the only finish on the pen? Or did you use ca first then the wax? Looks good

 

[splinter99]

I just noted that I didnt put the "finish" in the post..I just edited it..It is ca/blo with the wax as a top coat (apply, let haze over , polish with soft cloth then buff)

That's a good looking pen Harold. I'm going to have to make a run to HF this week.

Nice Pen and Awesome Shine!

But really need a shot before the wax to see how good it is?

Although, I wish my finish was half as good as that with or without the wax!!

Damn, wish we had a HF here in Alaska...
They won't ship liquid through USPS... Now if it was a solid...

Wow, beautiful finish!! I use TSW as a last coat now, maybe I'll try that stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Be careful to use this in a well-ventilated room as it uses naptha as a carrier.

Great pen and thanks for the tip on the wax.

Looks great Harold.

John doesn't everything that goes to Alaska eventually become a solid? [)][}][}][}]
