Renaissance wax vs rust.

[philthygeezer]

Renaissance wax is used by armorers in museums to preserve old firearms, swords and armor from corrosion and fingerprints.

Anyone use it on your hunting rifles? How is it working for you?

I use it for the knives I keep under glass, but haven't considered using it for rifle steel. Might be worth a look.

I've been using Simoniz non-abrasive car wax on gune for years and it helped a lot. Then I discovered Boeshield and that goes on top of the wax.

Apaarently carnauba can become mildly acidic ove long periods of time. Now I'm going to drop the carnauba and go with the renaissance wax and the Boeshield.

I use a mixture of Vasoline, Lanolin and a bit of candle wax. Works good.

Forget screwing with wax. Apply a little Dyna-Gun Shield and you're in business.

I've been using a similar, micro-crystaline wax on my old Winchesters called 'Conservator's Wax'

That's the Lee Valley sort of equivalent. How is it working for you?

I've used an old English mix for years, they referred to it as "no rust", it's a 50/50 mixture of vaseline and anhydrous lanolin.

They were right with the description, .....i've never seen rust on any metal treated with it!!

i have used paste wax for years on guns, reloading dies, tools, etc. Works especially well for things you handle.
