I bought this stock wax probably 5 or 6 years ago when I purchased some gun stock stains from them and I never got around to trying it until today. Before I applied it my stock had a slightly ruff feel to it in places. 10 minutes later with hardly any effort it was velvet smooth and had a beautiful glow to it. The application calls for applying then waiting 10 minutes for it to dry then buff with a soft cloth. The solution is as clear as water has a slight smell to it. When it dries it doesn't cloud over like normal wood waxes really no sign it was applied. I did a second gun with a well worn finish. I didn't try to avoid the checkering...10 minutes later I buffed it with soft cloth....there was a nice glow to it with no sign that any wax had ever been applied. Not sure how it will hold up in the field but I was amazed at the ease of application. I wonder if they sold me a can of water with a dash of mineral spirits in it....all kidding aside it would pay you to try it.

Perma Wax sounds easy. I need to try it. How’s it better than Renaissance wax?

Thompson's Water Seal (solvent based red label!) is better than any wax. Will not harm any finish. JR

That's a new one on me, John. I'd have been scared to death to try it on a nice finish. How do you apply it?
Just had a thought .................. wonder how Rain-X would work?

those of you that wax stocks, what do you do when it comes time for the once-a-year application of stock finishing oil, or do you not do that? I have not liked the effect of Johnson's Paste wax or similar on my gunstocks but I have not try Ren. Wax or some of the others that may be different.

The guns I wax don't get any touch-up finish at year end. They stay as they are until they need a complete refinish.

SRH Stan, Just put it on a soft cloth and apply all over, even metal. Wait a little for solvent (it's very mild solvent-based) to evaporate, then rub down thoroughly. It leaves a nice protective film that totally rejects water. I think Rain-X would work great as well. JR

I suppose you could rub them down with hog lard too...I'm sure it would "work great" too.
