I have a ridge carbide dado, I gave it back to them last year

1/4 and the points were coming through heavily.

I needed to use it and it was heavliy rusted. They probably
never put a rust preventitive on it after recutting the
teeth. So I clean it up, and after using it, I hate waxing
dadoes because they slip while on the arbor. But I had no
choice, any rust preventitive was going to be a lube too. So
after lubing it, I started thinking how am I going to keep
them from spinning into each other.


I use bow string wax on my drumsticks to increase grip. I
actually used it on some paint brushes the last couple weeks
because the dry cold was really effecting my grip.

I know you already came up with a solution, but for those
listening in bow string wax it would prevent rust but not be
slippery. It can be found at any sporting good store with an
archery section.


FYI

So from what I see 1.25 oz of bow string is about $7. DriCote,
blade cote is $10-$17 for 10.75 oz.

Top Cote (lube) now Glide Coat $10 for 10.75 oz.

Boeshield (lube) is about 18 for 12oz.


The stuff I use is about 4 bucks out the door...

Those aren't accurate price comparisons, for what it's worth. The
volume/weight/whatever of the bow string wax is all wax. With those
canned products that volume also includes the propellants and
carriers for the actual lube or coating. I would speculate that
you're actually getting close to the same amount of product with
the tube of wax than the aerosol can.


I always thought the weight was actual product and not propellant.
That would seem to be a bad way of telling the consumer how much they
are getting if they included propellant.


Perhaps not the propellant, I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me if
the stated amount on the can was all ingredients. There are other
carriers in there that allow the lube to be sprayed which evaporate away.
The can says "net weight" - which includes the wax, the solvent, and
the propellant. Inside the can all 3 are liquid, and after shaking
they are pretty well mixed (in solution),
