    Best PTFE?

    From what I gather the best protection for a cast iron table saw bed is PTFE (Teflon) spray. It ends up dry and not only is a great lubricant but also protects metal and will not inhibit finishing like silicone. I have seen a bunch of PTFE sprays for sale and wonder which is best.

    What do you use and what else do you use it for around the shop?

    Thanks

              boesheild T-9 is outstanding for protecting cast iron. paste wax is easier to find though.

                  I'm addicted to the smell of Butcher's. And fresh-cut cherry. And oak.

                      I use T-9 and then add Johnson's paste wax on my cast iron jointer beds. That combination works really well.
