Did you clean the top completely before you applied
the TopCote ??? I live on a salt creek and 3 miles
from the ocean and Topcote works fine on all my tools.

Johnson's paste wax left unbuffed is going to be a
sticky mess.

I have to admit that I tried TopCote for the first time, here in FL,
and I'm having problems with it as well. First I applied a coat and
wiped off...found rust the next day. Tried again with the same
results. Posted a message here and got a suggestion to put it on but
not wipe it off. Tried that, too. After applying two coats & not
wiping off, was working near the saw, and a couple of drops of sweat
fell on the table top. I figured it should be fine, but 20 mins later
when I looked back, the drops of sweat had rusted the table.
