Forge Finish Paste Wax - 8 oz.

Tips and suggestions for use

• Apply the forge finish wax at the lower end, preferably just below the smoke point. The smoke point for this product is a bit higher than Johnson’s so it should give you a slightly larger window for hot application. Whatever you do, please do not apply so hot that you burn/melt the brush. You will get nasty burnt crud and discoloration in the finish.

• Apply with a chip brush, I’m partial to the cheap 1” brushes you can buy in bulk at every home goods store.

• Don’t over-apply. A thin coat is all that is needed, too much of the forge finish wax could result in a slightly tacky finish. If the product is abundant on the piece it will wipe off easily while warm.

• Wipe/buff the piece once it has cooled with a cloth or a paper towel. This step makes a huge noticeable difference.

Tips for cold application: Even though this has been designed with the hot application in mind, this paste wax is still designed specifically for metal. I’ve been using it with great success on several other items including cast iron surfaces, tables, vises, etc.

• Ideally you can quickly run a torch or heat-gun over the surface to get the metal to sweat out the condensation. Wipe off the condensation with a clean rag or paper towel.

• Apply product with a cloth, or non-abrasive pad with medium pressure in a circular motion.

• Allow the forge finish wax to dry–time will vary depending on conditions–usually about 5-10 minutes. And then buff the product off with a clean rag. You should be left with an incredibly slick high gloss surface.
