You may want to check your local store.

Wow that's a killer price (no Lowes within a 2hr round trip sadly). I hope that doesn't mean they're discontinuing it though!

I'll going there this morning to try and find some!

I have about 1/2 a can left... been using out of it for at least 20 years,,, Maybe I don't use it enough... !

I prefer Butchers bowling alley wax.

Still, I have an almost full can of Johnsons, about 3/4 can of Butchers, almost full can of Brix wax

They last many many years

I don't really need any, but that IS a great price.

Also, I just made a batch of LinWax.

Butchers bowling alley wax.

Also a fan of Butchers, it's clearer and harder / tougher than Johnsons. There are a lot of things Johnsons is dandy for though and sometimes the wee bit of amber can be nice (you'd get that from the LinWax although IDK.. I prefer to do that as separate processes.. that way I can ensure the oil fully cures, but personal preference). At that price I'd stock up a couple spare cans anyway

The other good wax is Trewax which uses a different carrier and won't strip patina off of things like bronze which can be nice in some cases.

I think about that every time I read a post about rust problems.

I'm in this picture and I feel uncomfortable about it....

But it's a good reminder

My local store didn't have any, and the other 2 that are closest doesn't seem to have it either (on line search)....to my chagrin. Oh, well...maybe they cleared it out earlier.

I live in a dry desert portion of the Washington "Ever Green" (ha) state... Rust is not a huge problem... but I wax the table tops of my tools a couple times a year.... Really not to prevent rust,,, but it makes them slicker.....
