I just got some from fleabay, I gave 30$ for an unopened container..pretty descent deal considering. The last time I got some it was 9.99 or somthing like that, I think that was like 20 years ago or so?

$16.64 right now on Amazon. Plus shipping.
I could have bought a can for a couple of bucks at a yard sale but I didn't need it.
Someone was cleaning out a basement a while back and gave me a couple of one pound cans. Likely a lifetime supply at the rate I use it.
Looks like price at the time they were new was 99c. No idea as to actual age.

Out of stock and out of production. What's out there is all that's out there. When it's gone it's gone.
I got lucky and found a can at a mom and pop hardware store for $8. My partial can I have has lasted me over 15 years so I'm set for life now.

Guess I need to try and find another can.
Butcher's wax. Also known as bowling alley wax. But it is just as hard to find as the Johnson's.
Wasn't there a "cult" bullet lube based on this wax that was popular a few years back? I still have a partial can. I like to dip the tip of a screw in it before driving as it makes it easier. Dad just used an old bar of soap for this.

Mine is at least forty years old. The wax is as fresh as ever.

That’s what I use it for and also coat my barrel with it. I also apply it to my powder horns, it seems to keep the beetles off them
Do it. Johnsons is one of the bestest things ever. Sad that it may no longer be available. I still have about 3/4 of a can left.
Johnsons is discontinued, and prices for it are shooting through the roof. Next best substitute is Minwax Paste Wax.

I believe it was put out by MAGA Industries.Wasn't there a "cult" bullet lube based on this wax that was popular a few years back? I still have a partial can. I like to dip the tip of a screw in it before driving as it makes it easier. Dad just used an old bar of soap for this.
They're no longer in business.
But I hear there will be a new grand opening in 2025.
