Started using Renaissance Wax number of years ago on my purdy gun's wood stocks. Midway etc etc carries it. Hard to beat!! Used Birchwood Casey Gun Wax previously & it doesn't compare by a long shot. Just thought I'd pass this on to those always looking for the best way to preserve your precious toys!!  Renaissance Wax |

I have and use Renaissance wax. Primarily for my blued revolvers. It's a good product and keeps the moisture and rust out.

Just thought I'd pass this on to those always looking for the best way to preserve your precious toys!! Renaissance WaxI use Birchwood Casey gunstock wax on all my wooden stocked rifles that might be taken out in wet weather, including my not so pretty and well-used flinter. When applying it, I always remove the stock from the rifle so as to wax the hidden areas too. Not sure why other waxes like Renaissance cost over twice as much, but some car waxes are cheap and some expensive too. Whatever floats yer boat. |

Never tried Johnsons. I know Mutt...I paid 15 bucks for Renaissance which is sorta salty(i guess). It's likely in the formulation costs. Did a lot of reading on it & concluded it was the best to float my wooden boats! |

I've never been able to warm up to a non wood stock. I use Johnsons paste furniture polish on all of the guns I own, except for the the old Winchester and Marlin. Those two both get linseed oil.
The first ting I do when I buy a new or used gun is remove all wooden parts. I then give the inters a good coat or two or three of Tru-oil, rubbing it in till it's mostly dry with my fingers. Then all of the wood gets a coat or two of the Johnsons polish. Never had a problem with warping, and I've hunted in some real miserable weather in my younger days.

If getting older finds you tripping and falling into the gutter more often, you're still protected.

Been using Renaissance Wax for years. After cleaning, I coat the wood and exterior metal on all my firearms with it. I bought a supply of SS2 and the inside of all barrels and actions get treated with this.

SS2 is an all purpose gun lubricant. It was manufactured by TDP Industries, Inc. out of Doylestown, PA. I don't know if they're still in business. IIRC, Tip Curtis told me the owner either died or closed the business and his widow called him to see if he would be interested in buying the inventory. He did and I bought several cans up at Dixon's probably 8 or 9 years ago. Tip stopped going up to Dixon's but I'd see him at Fort Frederick however, due to the regulations, he couldn't sell it at the encampment.
Come to think of it, you should have a can around somewhere because I gave both you and Tom a can years ago at one of our last flounder float trips.

Yeah I remembered that after I posted. It's down at my Chincoteague place on my work bench. I have used it on my reels etc as a rust preventative. Good stuff but couldn't find it since.

The WD in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement. SS2 is probably very close to the same formula.

Yep, been doin it for years Never thought about it to be used as a fine wood protective finish such as wax. I have sprayed WD-40 on my Lund boat's wooden seat benches to remove dried/weathered marine varnish plus gummy sea salt residue which the WD-40 effectively softens(after standing a few minutes) liquidfying weathered varnish finish making removal/clean-up easier. Don't think it will ever be used to preserve the finish on my custom PA Mountain Rifles curly maple stock but great you found success with WD-40 use as your favored wood protectant!!! |
