Top Coat

I have my first new machined table to take care of, and was recomended
Top Coat for it. I was wondering what people think of this product?
Worth the money for keeping the friction and rust down on my band saw
table?

Thanks

Works pretty good. It's too expensive, though.

Works very well but my concern is more rust prevention that sliding. I've
use it on my tablesaw, drill press, mortiser, bandsaw, planes, vice, etc. I
find it holds up better than just paste wax and applies easily. Boeshield
is also very good but I've not truly done a side by side comparison.

Considering the cost of the tools, it is a modest investment to keep them
looking good.

I use it on my drill press that sits in the shed. A little goes a long way I
find. Works great.

I have been using it for about 15 years. I have used probably 4 cans in
that period. Despite what the instructions say. I recommend 3 to 4 heavy
coats for a fresh surface and then as needed.

I hear all positive remarks about TopCoat. I don't have rust issues
(my shop is air conditioned), but I do use Johnson's Paste Wax to
polish all my machines once a month.

A jar of good paste wax costs less and will last several times longer.

Bostik "Top Cote".
Yeah, worth it, to me at least.
