Wax,,,oil,,,???

[DuncNZ]

I make my own stock wax with a mix of yellow bees wax and enough artists grade linseed oil to make a paste.
I do the same for leather treatment with neetsfoot oil using bees wax to make a paste .
Flaxseed oil found in health stores etc is high grade linseed oil.

Dumb question whats vulcanized pipe tubes.
I'm assuming ramrod pipes. Vulanite is what

Pipe stems, the black ones

Anything with petroleum oil in it, stay away from.
I did my wood with tung oil almost 20 years ago, it has not needed anything since.
I too use T/C 1000+ on the metal, inside and out.
Smell purdy too

renaissance wax is my main used product. secondary is Mothers California Gold car wax/cleaner.

I will third on Renaissance wax. It was recommended to me a long time ago by Jim Supica, former curator of the NRA National Firearms Museum.

I’m I wrong in saying that once you use Wax on your Gunstock, an Oil rub will Not do anything for your Gunstock.?. Would the Wax prevent the Oil from getting to the wood.?.

When I'm using the gun fairly often I finish cleaning with an aerosol can of Lemon Pledge, it's fast and looks great. When I put it away for a while, or plan to hunt with it out in the weather, I use a good quality hardwood paste wax like Johnson Wax, or Howard Premium wax.

I second the Feed-n-Wax. I use it as a finish on my carvings as well as my gunstocks. Gives them a nice durable finish. Never thought to use it as a patch lube.

I use Butchers Boston Polish on all my firearms it is a colored wax and kerosene carrier. 1 can will last a decade or 2.

Didn't we have a very similar thread about wax several weeks ago? I think some one even suggested crayons?

Nope, but I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
