Thread: Renaissance Wax

I just picked up a little tin of this stuff. It smells like it will be a workhorse. I already applied it to some C Utz scales and will be applying it to the Livi scales today.

Anyone else use it and have any tips?

good on steel,and guns

Yes, great stuff, hard to find in my neck of the woods so I stock up on it when I head to a real city

Will it buff out the bottom of metal watch bands...where you rub up against desks and what not?

Good stuff, I use it on all my rescales. Work good on steel as well. I also use it on my workshop tools, keeps all the adjustable parts moving nice and smooth.

No. For a polished bracelet try a Cape Cod cloth, simichrome, flitz or something similar. For a brushed finish I like fine scotch-brite pads or a finishing nail buffer (drug store item).

I use it to seal the patina on my bronzes because it doesn't leave that white dry wax residue. It's much clearer than say Johnsons or Butchers wax.
"Wax on wax off." Rub a thin layer on with a soft cloth, let it dry for 10 - 15 minutes. Buff off.

The best thing for that are foam blocks with grit embedded in them. They come in three grades for satin, and brushed finishes. They sell them on watch and jewelry supply sites.
