Rustins Guard Tool Protection Wax - 40ml

You can protect all steel and iron hand tools, machine components, and accessories, including items like chisels, planes, saws, drills, latches, hinges, and workshop machinery parts.

No, Rustins Guard Tool Protection Wax is silicone-free, making it suitable for workshops where silicone contamination is a concern.

The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and environmental conditions. For frequently used tools, reapply every few months. For tools in storage, check annually and reapply if protection seems diminished.

This wax is intended for metal protection. Avoid applying it directly to wooden handles, as it is not a wood treatment.

The tin contains 40ml of Rustins Guard Tool Protection Wax.

Apply a small amount to a clean, soft cloth and rub it evenly over the clean, dry metal surface. Allow it to haze for a few minutes, then buff to a protective sheen with another clean, dry cloth.

This product is designed for tool protection and corrosion inhibition. It is not formulated or tested for food-safe applications.

This is normal for microcrystalline waxes. Warm the tin slightly by holding it in your hands or placing it in a warm (not hot) water bath. Stir gently to recombine before use. Avoid overheating.

Ensure the wax was applied thinly and evenly. If an uneven finish occurs, remove the excess wax with a clean cloth and reapply a thinner, more uniform layer. Buff thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.

This can happen if too much wax was applied or not buffed sufficiently. Use a clean cloth dampened slightly with mineral spirits to remove the residue, then buff dry. For future applications, use less product and buff more vigorously.
