This has been discontinued for awhile now and many alternatives have proven worthy. I'm just wondering...what is a can of this worth nowadays? I have enough for the rest of my life, even if I part with a can or two. Yellow 22 oz. can with blue top and blue stripe.
IDK, I have two cans on shelf I bought when I heard the news. Be interesting to hear but maybe not much considering the limited amount of people that use it like us and powder coating coming into it's own
there are enough other options now so it does not have the "demand" that it once did but its still worth a fair bit
To me? Nothing. Someone will buy it for twice what it cost you though. “New old stock.”
Diluted with mineral spirits equal parts by volume this is a great film-coat, tumble-lube for .38 and .45 wadcutter, performs identically to commercial Johnson Glo-coat floor wax which we bought and used from5-gallon buckets. When in the commercial reloading business back in the 1980s we loaded well over a million rounds of training and practice rounds for East Coast PDs and never had a complaint.
they go for $50 to $100 on the popular auction website.Quote:

I was aware of the Johnson paste wax use for lube but I was not aware of the liquid being used as lube.
I believe it was the original component for the popular Ben's Liquid Lube.Quote:

45-45-10 used Johnson’s Paste Wax, not the liquid wax. The original post is in the stickies. Both Johnson’s Paste and Liquid are discontinued.Quote:
