    Paste wax after Boshield T-9 ?

    Just sprayed my jointer surface with T-9 after cleaning the surface of light rust and wax.

    I have read that I should reapply a coat or two of paste wax on top of it for extra protection and for extra smoothness. If I do this, will I need to again remove the wax each and every time I want to reapply a coat of T-9 (sound like alot of work)?

    It actually isn't much work at all. Just wipe the surface down with some mineral spirits to remove the wax.

        T-9 (12 oz can) can be ordered from Grizzly or WoodCraft. I got it online from Hartville Tools.

          Check with local tool dealers. A lot of them carry T9.

            You can get a combo 3-pack from Rockler. I have it, and all 3 products work very well.

              My preference is for a coat or two of wax over the T-9. You're not likely to have to do it more than once or twice a year and it's a 10 minute job.

                I agree that it's not too much work, and it's well worth it. I clean the cast iron surface with WD40 or mineral spirits, coat the clean surface with T-9 (that stuff is great!), and apply 2 coats of Johnson paste wax.
