No, if I were IN Misery, erm, Missouri, I'd have to move.
Ick!


Show me.


"MEE (Moisture Excluding Effectiveness) of "Paste Furniture Wax": One
Coat = 6%; Two Coats = 11%; Three Coats = 17%."


Try Waterlox, their "floor sealer". It scored 88% on the first
day.

Wow, metallic forest products are new to me. Tell me: from which
forest product is cast iron made, Tom? Don't those figures tell
you that the wood breathes? Wouldn't metal breathe much less?
I don't feel that the cite is valid in this instance. YMMV


If you can't knock off the dust and nibs without taking off the
finish, you need to take a good look at your technique - or maybe you
should switch to 4/0 steel wool from whatever you're using.


Maybe the CA nibs were tougher or the shop dirtier in Vista.

What's your shop humidity, Tom? Do you let it go cold at night
so there are huge temp swings? Why do you have such bad rust
problems with all the right (normally used) products?
