Question 2

What do you apply it with to jewelry?

Accepted Answer

I don't have any jewelry.I use it to protect the steel blades on my 13 Katana swords and the brass on my Henry rifle and the metal on my two handguns. I have used cotton balls or microfiber cloths to apply. Jack

Question 3

Does this work well on protecting Damascus steel?  I have several knives in my collection and looking for the best protection for them.

Accepted Answer

If you want your steel blades to last, one of the very best methods is the one used for traditional Japanese blades.  It took months to polish a Samurai sword, and the finish was flawless.  Any accumulated rust would have to be polished out by taking it to a polisher. This was expensive. A tightly sealed  real lacquer scabbard and 100% pure clove oil on the blade periodically was the solution of choice, and a brilliant one.  Real lacquer is hydrophilic, so removes water from the environment.  Clove oil is a highly effective antioxidant and smells very nice as well.  Blades stored this way will stay pristine indefinitely.  Never leave fingerprints on a steel blade - they will rust because of the salt in sweat. I doubt waxing would cause any problems, but any spot missed and you will see corrosion eventually.  However, wax can hold water, so I do not trust it. The clove oil is also very thin, so spreads well into cracks, etc.  Never put the knife into a scabbard dirty - ever - the dirt will get trapped and scratch the blade. Blood is particularly caustic to steel for those of you who hunt. If you are taking it into the field, bring a rag soaked in oil in a ziplock bag with you for cleaning after use.  Never store a steel blade in a metal scabbard.  It will condense water and rust the blade.  If this is too much work, I've had excellent results using Rig 2 gun oil.  I have had a Malay Kris on the wall with no scabbard (It did not have one when I bought it.) for years with nothing but a coat of Rig 2 on it and it does not rust.  I reapply maybe once or twice a year.  Extremely good gun oil.  The product here is a furniture wax - a very different problem indeed.  It is no doubt a superb furniture wax.

Question 4

What do you use to buff with to get a high gloss finish?  Has anyone tried this on artwork?

Accepted Answer

First, you will not get a high gloss finish unless the item already has one. You will get a protective coating that will enhance the depth of the finish and, if there is a gloss effect already, will enhance the gloss. But if applying Ren Wax over a matte finish, you will not get a gloss. I use this a lot on older Smith & Wesson revolvers, which are known for the depth of their dark, dark blue finish, and do get enhance gloss as well as some suppression of minor scratches, but the gloss is already there, just heightened by the wax. That said, I just use an old t-shirt - as good as anything else. Or you could invest in that old cabinetmaker's standby, cheesecloth, which might be the best choice for very delicate items.
