Yes I did read it but it is a pure wax in the sense that it is not a sealant aspect to it.

M16 would be considered a wax, definitely a wax in every sense of the word.

Come to think of it, I can`t name a wax that came out in the 1950`s that`s actually still around today in it`s same form. I`m confident M16 was improved over the years but not changed as the wax in my oldest cans still resembles and smells like the current product.

It is a pure wax in that it has no cleaning agents in it and should only be applied to a finish in excellent condition.

It won`t even feel good going on a neglected finish, try it sometime, it`s like dragging your fingernails down a chalkboard.

Thanks Mike, I just bought 4 tins of this stuff and can`t wait to try it.

I ended up buying 4. My offer was accepted at $5.50/ea (with free shipping of course).

Somewhat off topic - how do you store this stuff, Mike? Refrigerated? Just in the basement/garage at room temperature?

hi

Thats cool man.

**XRL** · 09-01-2009, 08:43 PM

Anyone gotten any kind of shipping info on theirs? I haven`t gotten any tracking or anything...

**agpatel** · 09-01-2009, 09:08 PM

I have gotten tracking on one of my pots, I bought another one a day or so later and no info on that one, but I did say that I bought one the other day and you could include it with that one so she could of done that. But with the amount of orders she probably has it may take a day or two to send them out as she prob had a massive amount of orders over the weekend.

Also, you can keep the wax in the fridge but dont think it is needed just in a dry, stable temp area would be fine like any other wax.

Sure no harm in erring on the side of caution, but the tins I just leave in the shop stay good for at least a decade, even in my old shop where the temps ranged from near-freezing to *well* over 100f. The one I`m using now has been treated that way since I bought it in `90s and it`s just fine. That said, my spare case is kept with our wines just to be on the safe side.

I too have enough to last many lifetimes...this stuff simply doesn`t go bad as long as you keep the lid on tight.

I stole my wife`s food saver and put my extra stash in vacuum seal bags and sucked the air out. They are kept in my lower level workshop at about 62°-66°. Should last forever.

Wow great find, made an offer for 4. So if i understand this right the "moral of the story" is

1- Thin light coats

2- Does no harm to a sealer under the wax?

3- Is almost 3x my age haha, its got to be good.

//Edit
