Renaissance

[PaulDoug]

I just purchased a 200ml can of Renaissance Wax. This is a bigger can than I had before, and my first little can dried up before I got it all used. So, I'm using more of it than I use to, and looking at what to use it on. I cleaned you my lathe ways and used it on that. It takes so little and boy did it make the tailstock and banjo slide nice. I almost sent my tailstock off the end of the lathe when I shoved it back. It seams to put on a harder, slicker surface than the past wax I had been using. Next is the tablesaw table and been looking at my truck....,maybe it would get better gas mileage...

Use it on your shoes Paul . It's the same stuff as Kiwi Natural shoe polish ... except 10 times the price .

Yep, same stuff, without the color that is many colors of shoe polish. If you buy the "neutral" shoe polish, it looks the same, smells the same, works the same and has the same ingredients.

Thanks for the info. Going to have to try using darker polish instead of stain.

You really wouldn't to use it as a stain . Wax is very soft and wears off very quickly and the pigments would only fill the pores not stain the wood . It would start to change color very quickly leaving only the pores of the wood colored .

Looks like Im gonna Raid my Dads "Boot shine" suplies. Not sure of he has the neutral but I know he has Saddle soap. Probably not the same thing.

Saddle soap is not the same.

Kiwi Neutral or Natural ( I forget, One brand is Neutral the other is Natural) works just like ren wax, smells just like ren wax and seems to be the same ingredients--PETROLEUM DISTILLATES! Imagine, "gassing up your pen!!" Who would have thought it?

As Butch says, it is WAX, so you wouldn't want to put it on wood and THEN try to put CA over it. I just can't see that working! IT DOES, HOWEVER, do a good job on bushings to keep CA from sticking them to the pen blank.
