Table saw rust removal

Didn't you post this a while back? Any woodworking store will have surface protector, as will any woodworking catalog. It just isn't that difficult.

Those products are just ordinary paste floor wax. Any brand will do. I usually use an automobile spray wax. Jim

Try SLIPIT which is available from Grizzly. Comes in spray, liquid and brush-on paste. I use the past at the suggestion of a Grizzly rep and it works fine.

If you use automotive wax, make sure it does not have any silicon. Very bad on wood if you ever want to stain or seal.

Lee Valley has Topcote & Boeshield which I've seen recommended here on the wreck many times. Topcote:

Bad idea... the silicone that's in many (not all) automobile waxes will cause fish-eye in many wood finishes. Yes, it *will* come off of the saw table onto your project.

Troller,

No, this is my first post. And I know it's not difficult. I wanted recommendations from people that have MUCH more experience then me.

Thanks for your comment even though you haven't helped.

Thanks Luigi, I went to Canadian Tire and asked the person working in the hardware section. This is what he told me. "We sell a silicone based product that protects and make the wood slide easier." He was surprised when I told him that silicone stains wood.

I will try Lee Valley even though they are in Ottawa. At least I won't have to deal with rediculous shipping from the US and the damn duties.

Thanks again and thanks to everyone that helped with my question.

Slight correction - It doesn't stain wood. But the silicone reacts chemically to some finishes, causing "fish-eye" blotches (so I am told).

Canadian Tire usually has this stuff in stock, it claims it's pure

I usually wait until November or December to wax my car, it's too damn hot until then. Get out in the yard in my shorts and sandals and give it a good wash job first and then wax away.

What city are you in? Lee Valley has a number of stores situated in Canadian cities.

But it's ok to use on *finished* wood to make it slide better. Just don't expect new finish to stick on wood that's got silicone on it. But the carnauba wax is in the automobile cleaning section, along with turtle wax and all that.

I try to wash the truck every couple of years whether it needs it or not. j4

WD-40 and 3M scotch-brite heavy duty scrubbing pads are good for removing rust.

I didn't realise that. It probably isn't all that hard to remove... Jim

Naptha, paper towels & elbow grease. Lots of each. Open the windows & doors. Burn the towels safely when done.

That reminds me. I think it's that year for mine too.
