I would speculate that you're actually getting close to the same amount
of product with the tube of wax than the aerosol can.

Not only that, but those other products are *slippery*! The exact
opposite of what is wanted in this case.

Boeshield is not at all slippery. That's why I'm going to try
switching to GlideCote (TopCote).

Boeshield is not slippery at all, you have to buff it off before things
begin to become close to slick.

The TopCotes products have always been the product that I go back to
after trying another.

Many years ago when Empire made TopCote mid 80's it was only designed
and or sold as a product to make the metal surface slick and came in a
pump bottle. I discovered that it worked extremely well, so much that
if I tossed a short board on top of the saw surface it was very likely
to slide off the opposite edge. I also discovered that the product had
a bonus feature, I no longer had a rust problem in humid Houston.

After they sold TopCote to Bostich it was never packaged the same and
never worked as well. The old TopCote dispensed as a liquid that
actually puddled on the saw surface and evaporated. The Bostich mostly
comes out as a fog and does not seem to penetrate as well before
evaporating.
