What are you guys waxing your plane soles with?

[Michael J Evans]

Paul sellers rag in a can
/ Johnson's paste wax for machinery surfaces and or storage application

[Mel Fulks]

I keep my planes sole up in a "sand-box" type thing in which I raise slugs for "fun and profit". Nothing is slicker than
what ever that stuff is that they make !
P.S. This must be a record run for a SM thread. I hope Keith can sell the film rights !

I just use tea lights, pull the wicks out and they're good to go.

Steve, I do the same. The wax seems to have the consistency I like. It is probably no different from common long candles.

I wonder if any here have used the wax sticks sold by Rob Cosman. Several months ago I bought a few to try out - the dispenser it comes in looks so useful - and so I have been using these wax sticks. Perhaps it is because I am so used to the wax of old, but I find the Cosman wax a little more “stickier” than I like. Still persevering. ...

Gulf wax is good - as long as you don't leave it out in the heat and it melts.

Anybody ise mutton tallow?

[Rob Luter]

Another vote for Gulf Wax. Buy a box and you'll never need to buy more.
