Bowshield is a good lubricant down here but a PIA as a protectant
against rust if you want to actually spend more time cutting than wiping
the stuff off every day.

Wiping the stuff off every day?

Yes every day, I had to apply every day and it had to go on heavy. It
remained sticky and If I wiped it down it wan non effective. It was the
only thing I used at first for my brand new TS 12 years ago. It went on
immediately after removing the protective coating from the table top. I
had rust the next morning. It only worked for me if I put down a lot.

That would get expensive in a real hurry!


I went back to what I had been using the previous 7-8 years, a version
of what is now known as TopCote. It has to go on heavy initially also
but does not have to be wiped off although it is more slippery initially
if you do wipe off the haze. TopCote was originally made by another
company and was sold as a top lubricant to make boards slide easier. I
found as a side benefit that over time I no longer had to deal with
rust. IIRC TopCote now is marketed more as a rust preventative than a
lubricant.

Ayup.
