Johnson's Paste Wax
 

I have read on some posts on how hard it's getting to find some.
I read on another post that Lowes sells it still. I found it at Amazon
for $20.16/3pk. also SC Johnson's website is selling it for $33.06/6pk.
Just wanted to pass this info along. A 6 pack my be excessive but I
figure i'll have some to pass on to my grandchildren years down the
road. The links are below.

I actually have a can of Johnsons that I took out of my grandfathers shop.
The can appears to be built to survive the cold war and must be about 50
years old.

There were sure piles of the Johnson's wax at Ft. Leonard Wood PX back when
I took basic('66)....I just bet there are a few cans there yet.

I've been reading posts about Johnson's paste wax being discontinued for
three years now. Evidently no one at Lowe's has seen them yet.

I thought that it was discontinued in the GWN but still on sale
down here.

MAY be excessive? I've got a can I bought years back, in my local
grocery (that still carries it, as far as I know), plus a full can I
bought at a flea market for $1. I'm pretty generous with it when I use
it, but the first can isn't even half gone. Get some buddies to chip in
with you, get the 6 pack, and just get 1-2 cans each. Or, just buy the
6 pack, then SELL some to your buddies. Higher price to your enemies.

Ah, yes, the Johnson's Paste Wax myth. Yes, you can still get it. I
believe it is no longer marketed in Canada, and that is the source of
the posts.

Of course, if they no longer sell it in Canada, no telling when and if
they will pull it from the US market as well.

They won't even ship to Canada.
US addresses only.

I would love a couple cans to finish my MDF work benches.
It's so cheap.
Lee Valley sells a paste wax product but it's a bit pricy.
Is it the same as Johnson's?
I have an old can of Briwax clear, full, I wonder if it would be the way to go.
Stinks like hell!

Minwax make a paste wax but I can't find out if it contains sillycones or not.

I've gone through about four cans in the last two years. I'm almost out

Similar to Johnson's, not a cone in sight, silly or otherwise.

Charlie have you ever used the Briwax, it stinks to high heaven but boy does it
dry HARD.
You really need the elbow grease to buff it out.

According to Johnson's it because UPS doesn't come to Canada and that the only

They couldn't or wouldn't name a single company in Canada selling the stuff

I queried Min Wax about their product a year or so ago. Their wax
doesn't contain silicon but it does contain an anti slip agent of some
kind and they said it would probably not be best used on surfaces, IE
saw table top, where you want things slippery.

It does not contain silicon(e), but it does contain anti-slip ingredients like
most other floor waxes. If you are using it as a finish on wood it should be
fine. If using it as a rust preventitive it should be as good as Johnson's ,
but if you are using it to make a surface slick I don't think anti-slip is what
you want ;)

My understanding is that Canada requires the use of anti-slip ingredients in
all floor waxes and Johnson's does not have them. Johnson's (and possibly a few
others) were grandfathered from the regs in the US. It is my understanding that
it is still against OSHA regs to use floor waxes without anti-slip ingredients
in commercial applications subject to OSHA. I know that the school district I
work for in Pennsylvania does not use Johnson's as a floor wax due to
liability issues.

Pro'ly not. Is Johnson's considered a "floor wax?" I seem to recall the
word "floor" on the can somewhere, but it seems to do a spiffy keen job of
making things slickery.

So you're the one I have to blame for the box with the lifetime supply of
Johnson's wax sitting in my closet. I ordered it right after reading the
thread on here over a year ago (maybe two Christmas's ago?) about how it
would no longer be available. ;-)

No, not exactly. I never said it was being discontinued. I just went to
some length to let people know where they could still get it while
believing what someone else had warned me about.

How many surplus cans do you have? I'll buy some off of you as a favor, if
you want. If you're not worried about it, I'll just go buy a can at
Lowe's. :)

I'm not worried about it at all. Shipping would be way more than your
time and gas to get it from Lowe's. Sometimes attempted humor just doesn't
come across the computer screen as well as it should; that was just
good-natured ribbing, not a complaint.

UPS does run in Canada. They charge outrages fees for crossing the boarder

hmm... I use it mostly on the shopsmith, per their instructions, and

I have a bunch of chisels, lathe tools, cast iron machinery, hand planes,
vises, anvils, sundry other steel or iron tools, all in an unheated shop.
I've never bothered to mail order Boeshield or any of the other fancy
alternatives. I just keep Johnson's on everything, and reapply as needed.
For some stuff, maybe twice a year. For other stuff, maybe once a week.
It's good on the soles of my planes and my saw table for making everything
slide smoothly, as well as affording a measure of rust protection.

Then I also use it on everything I build. I used to use 0000 steel wool and
wax over poly to kill the poly-ness, and then I saw the light and started
using shellac. Now I use 0000 steel wool and wax over shellac to kill the
shellac-ness. Shellac leaves a bit of a weird surface. The ol' wax and
wool puts a perfect finishing touch on it, and affords it some miniscule
measure of moisture and wear protection.

Just now, I even used it on all the furniture in my living room. It's
commercial furniture, and I had never really cared enough to try that
before, but the results sure were good. I think I will probably do that
from now on, instead of using Pledge. Takes a bit of doing, but it looks
fantastic.

It's also useful for driving tiny brass screws into hardwoods. It works
better than beeswax. Yet another use, I wax up my trumpets from time to
time. They both have worn spots in the lacquer, and the wax helps keep
those spots from tarnishing and standing out.

So yeah, I go through a lot of Johnson's, and a lot of 00000 steel wool too.
All without using it on my hair. I keep my hair cut at 5/8" and run the
buzzy thing through it as soon as it's starting to look like I should
reacquaint myself with a comb.

It is good, but expensive. I use my own concoction for table tops. More
carnauba than is in the commercial waxes. Harder to apply, but I use a cordless
power buffer and it buffs out nicely. Three coats last me about a year.

Well, I used MinWax paste wax on my Shopsmith before I found out the
difference. I now use Johnson's. I can tell a substantial difference.
Floor wax is to protect the floor, shine it up, etc. It is not a great
idea, however, to make your floor slipperier than snot. Therefore quite
a while back floor waxes began to add anti-slip ingredients. It was
subsequently required under, I believe, an OSHA reg. Johnson's did not
reformulate their namesake product.

Our Super WalMart has it.

Johnson's is a floor wax (says so on the can), but it is not allowed
for commercial floor use under OSHA regs (my understanding). Johnson's
apparently decided against reformulating their namesake product (I
believe it says Johnson's original paste wax on the can), which may be
one reason why it now has a pretty small market and can be hard to find
in some areas. I also assume (without any real basis in knowledge) that
the lack of anti-slip additives in a product that says it is a floor
wax may be why Johnson's Paste Wax is not sold in Canada (their regs
may be a bit more stringent than ours and not allow it for commercial
OR non-commercial floor applications).

I looked up their website and it looks to be good stuff.

It is good, but expensive.

Briwax is $20 a can here in the great white north, that's $3 cheaper than Lee
Valley's product.
Does the Lee Valley wax have anti-slip agents?
I assume the Briwax does not because it's a furniture wax.
I figure Johnsons will cost me at least $15 delivered from anywhere in the US.
Briwax looks like the way to go, and hey I've already got a 40 year old can of
the stuff almost full.:)
I can't find anything else.

I use my own concoction for table tops. More
carnauba than is in the commercial waxes. Harder to apply, but I use a cordless
power buffer and it buffs out nicely. Three coats last me about a year.

I may need on of those buffers for Briwax.:)
