Conservator's Wax from Lee Valley
Does anybody have any experience using Conservator's Wax from Lee Vally?

It sounds very similar to Renaissance Wax (likely a knock off) but to my benefit I can pick it up from a local store in Canada rather then ordering from the states. Of course if it is an unknown I won't be risking my arms and armour to test it.

Cheers,

Tomas
I'm guessing this means nobody has used it yet. I think I'll pickup some and give it a try on a buckler or two and see how it goes.

I use it on antiquities, but I haven't tried it on new steel.

From the manufacturer's website:

Quote:
CONSERVATOR’S WAX – a blend of highly refined microcrystalline waxes of fossil origin based on a formula which has become the standard material used in museums and art galleries, and by professional conservators and restorers the world over.


Emphasis added, but might support your guess, Thomas!
I picked up a tin and it looks good. Just applied it to some pieces so I'll report on how it did in a while. The first thing I learned is what everyone says about microcrystalline wax is true...a very little goes a long way. I spent more time trying to rub the excess off then it would haven taken just to wax the pieces properly.
