Title: slickery stuff?
Post by: Judy Hunter on February 20, 2014, 10:20:21 am

I think a long time ago you talked about something you spray on the table to make it slick with being oily.
What was the name of it .....or did I dream the whole thing?

Judy,
I think you might be referring to "Bioshield". It can be found at woodworking stores and is used to keep iron tops (table saws or scroll saws) from rusting and keep them slick. I think there are other brands to be had out there too.
I personally use Minwax paste wax on my equipment for rust and slickery problems but, it does require some time and rubbing to apply. A quick spritz of the newer stuff would be quite handy but, is a bit more expensive to buy. 
They all probably last about the same amount of time. I really don't wax my tables more than two or three times a year.

Hi, Judy,
I also read that dryer sheets (for static cling) work well also.
I bought some cheap ones and used them on my Craftsman and
they did work alright for me but, the Craftsman has like a teflon
coating or something on it so, I doubt the dryer sheets are going to
stop any rust or anything like that on a metal table.
God Bless! Spirithorse
