anyone use Linwax

(1/2) > >>

KHalverson:
bees wax linseed oil and turpentine.
iv read it works for waterproofing leather, wood and metal.
been thinking on making some and using it on forged tools.

willie:
I have used the recipe, not any commercial product by that name. the linseed will darken wood over time

Mesophilic:
Using it on the metal or on handles?

Didn't get much imterest but here's a thread I started on a paste wax experiment  if it helps

Hawkdancer:
I think the term "Linwax" is trademarked by the company that makes the finish called "Linspeed".  That is a good hard finish used for musical instruments and gunstock.  Check Brownell's catalog.

Start with a 1:1:1 ratio, and adjust to taste?!
