waxilit vs Johnsons Paste Wax for machine tops.

That’s good to know, thanks.

How did it work out for keeping squeeze out off your jobs? Any problems applying a finish afterwards?

Ive used Johnson’s wax on all my machines for years and it has always worked great. Sometimes wish it stayed on a little longer but for the price I guess I cant complain.

I just received the waxilit and I’m not working on a project that requires it now. I’ve read about numerous people using it for squeeze out that I’m not concerned about it affecting the finish.

As for the use of these agents for squeezeout management, the current issue of Fine Woodworking covers this nicely.

Yes, Fine woodworking is where i read about the product. It wasn’t until I received the product that I realized it was designed for table tops.

I use a pure Brazilian carnuba wax on CI tops. It has none of the additives that are in furniture waxes. A can of it will last a lifetime.

MrRon. I’m just learning about waxes. What do the additives in Johnsons Paste Wax do that you find unfavorable?

I use JPW on my machines. It cost $3 per can which will last for years. I’m not sure why I’d want to use a different product? I don’t see how any othe product could be appreciably better.

I was told the additives in JPW (silicon) will transfer to the wood and create finishing problems.

S C Johnson Paste Wax contains no silicone.

What’s in Johnson’s past wax, look here. There is no silicone.,

I have some first hand experience with Waxilit. I have use both the liquid and paste form. I found it to be no better than Johnson’s paste wax and a lot harder to find and more expensive. In my opinion Waxilit is not a miracle lubricant.

Shortly after using Waxilit I went back to Johnson’s. I have a gallon can (nearly full) of Waxilit I give to anyone for free if they want to pay shipping.
