Gary - ahhh, so there IS a catch to living in Buderim.
I have to say its well up my list of places to live when I get a bit older; generally nice climate, not prone to flooding (the high bits anyway), and maybe not such wild winds as we get down here? I'm always checking the area out on real estate websites
While the wax/EEE are great for handtools, I tend to use that G15 stuff to protect machines when not in use. Its the best surface rust preventative I've found, and I've tried the Lanox and many similar products. Also, one of the biggest aids to keeping machines rust free is to cover them with an old sheet, etc. when not in use.
Nice bandsaw by the way. Wish I'd saved my pennies for one of those instead of settling for a lesser (Scheppach) one !

Which CRC product are you using? They make many different sprays for lube, rust prevention, etc., and some of them contain silicone.

Andrew, yes, it's ok as a paste, though I think you'll find most paste waxes contain other waxes such as carnauba, even if the bee stuff is the main ingredient. I suspect the more important feature is it allows you to apply a very thin coating, but if you try wiping it on from a solid block, you'll see what I mean about a sticky mess....
Cheers,IW

Jim Tolpin in the "New Traditional Woodworker" recommends using a piece of scrap carpet attached to a wooden block kept on the workbench, saturated with camellia oil. I've never tried this.
Cheers,
Eddie
