Wiping it OFF gives little protection. If you want the level of
protection you desire, you spray it on liberally, let it set, and it
produces a thick, soft, waxy surface that is superb for rust
protection, but SUCKS for use on a table saw TABLE

Use paste wax or something like TopCote on the table, use the
Boeshield elsewhere on the saw.

Again, if you use BoeShield, DO NOT wipe it off, and be sure you shake
the can real well

After reading the good reviews of Boeshield T9 rust preventative, I
bought some at a wood working show. My new general tablesaw had been
sitting in my garage since I bought it about a month ago. After
cleaning up the gunk manufacturers put on the machines to avoid rust, it
didn't have any protective layer on it, and it looked fine a month
later. Then I bought the Boeshield. Before putting it on, I rubbed the
table down with naphtha, after which I sprayed Boeshield on and wiped
most of it off. The next day I had rust. I cleaned all of it off with
mineral spirits and re-applied Boeshield. Again, the next day I had
rust. I called the company and was just told to "put it on thicker."
After being bitten twice, I'm hesitant to go through it again. Anyone
have any theories? I'm leaning towards simply using Johnson paste wax
on the table top.
