Thread: Lanoguard

Nic.

My investment in tools and equipment over the years is substantial and IMHO using the cheapest stuff to maintain them is not worth it in the long run. Thus I use U-Beaut's Traditional Wax to maintain table surfaces.
Not the cheapest but it works.

Nic,

Can't say I'm surprised

Try SilverGlide from Carbatec. Once you use that stuff you'll never even think about looking back. UBeaut's wax is good - but all waxes will collect gunk. $29 for a tin, but it goes a long way.

I hardly suprised about the lanoguard.

Its a good product in its application but it works by being a slimy gooy stuff.
Boaties love it.

"boaties love it"

We sure do !
After a few days of application it seems to form a skinlike almost tacky surface. Really great for protection from the elements. Makes the winch wire a lot easier to handle.
Sure wouldn't recommend it for anything you wanted to slide.

Silicon spray was recommended to me, doesn't stain wood apparently like WD40 etc does.

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony
Silicon has been discussed in depth on this forum and the majority of views are that if you intend to put silicon on then forget about puttting a finish on your timber. You are right about it not staining timber but it does penetrate the timber and stops the finish from adhering to the timber. If you are interested do a search on silicon on the forum.

In regards to Lanoguard I have used it quite extensively and have no trouble with it sticking if it is applied as per instructions.

They say to put your tools out in the sun and let them heat up and the summer time is certainly the best time to do that and then spray the Lanoguard 3000 liquid on and allow to dry.

Bearing in mind this is the liquid not the Lanogrease
