On this note, I suspect that the Renaissance Wax is silicon free, but don¡¯t know for sure. I use it a lot on my machines without any finishing issues.
The small tin is widely available, but the 3L size is the way to go. David Best, my 3L tin shits all over your 1Kg tin. LOL. :-)

Waxlit is what I have used for decades.??It has no silicone and was specifically developed as a lube for table surfaces like jointer and planer beds. ??

This has been discussed several times here on FOG over the years. ?You can buy small tins of it in the USA (), but I sourced my 5 year supply from Germany. ?? ??
What is the name of the wax guaranteed not to have silicone?
Marlowe?
?a tad off topic but I feel a need to mention it.
I used to use Johnson¡¯s paste wax to lubricate my machine tables, and had persistent problems w/ fish eye downstream when finishing pieces. I eventually decided that Johnson¡¯s must have silicone of some sort in it, so I ?cleaned all my tools w/ mineral spirits and switched to a wax that was guaranteed silicone free. I haven¡¯t had problems w/ fish eye since.
Anyone else w/ similar experiences?
