[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 2852045, member: 112241"] Johnson’s is getting really expensive and I’ve had trouble finding it recently when I wanted a new can for a new cabinet. Great stuff on furniture, and dries hard. I’ve never used it on a wood stock but don’t know why it wouldn’t work very well. Big plus one for Ren Wax, been using it for years, and a can lasts forever. The only time I deviated from it was a few months ago I made up a batch of wax recommended on the CMP forums to use on a Garand I just refinished (Hey Muddyboots!). That was 50/50 BLO and Mineral Spirits (I can’t buy turpentine here in the People’s Republik according to Czar Newsom), then another part Beeswax. So 1:1:1. Some recipes online use more Beeswax to make it harder, but I don’t want to have to heat it to get it to apply. Slow melt the whole thing together on the stove, give it a couple hours to cool. It gives a wax with a hard but creamy consistency that goes on great and polishes out nicely, really pops the wood. Everyone said melting it up would smell, but not for me. [/QUOTE]
