Good stuff Bud!! Always enjoy your thorough Laboratory tests!! I've had real good luck with Boeshield T-9, I used it on the raw metal on an outdoor vise 6 years ago and it's still going strong!! It does cost a lil' more than WD-40 but I think it's worth it!!☻
Great test I have been pondering what to put on my lanterns for the same reason that I want to keep them from rusting but also have to handle them while using them. I was unaware of the rust block product from evaporust until now. I definitely will have to get it 👍 Thanks so much for doing this awesome video 👌
Another very informative test, and fair to the various products. I was unaware of some of these products, so this was very useful. I got more interested in rust prevention some time ago when I noticed the amount of rust on my drill press chuck. Since I live in an arid/semi-arid area, this surprised and annoyed me. I recently discovered Fluid Film and like it. It has also lasted a long time on my power equipment and squeeky car door hinges. The non-aerosol WD-40 you have is a much better financial deal than the pressurized cans. If you buy it in gallon cans, you're set for along time. I recently stumbled across a can of Johnsons paste wax at a yard sale. It still had it's original price tag of 85 cents. Thanks for a valuable video for those of us who battle rust.
Great score on the yard sale Johnson's wax! I've bee looking for a can at the sales for a while. I was surprised to get a new can in the mail from Time Flys in the Shop!
Thanks for doing the hard work for us and providing some excellent information. I have had very good results protecting my tools with Mothers Carnuba wax that is made for use on steel.
A very interesting video, thanks. I may have to get a can of the Rust Block to add to my other fluids. I recently learned about an old-time hardware store in West Easton PA, Millers Hardware. West Easton is a suburb of Easton PA. Mr Miller is in his 80's so I need to pay a visit before he retires. The store is open until 3pm on a Saturday, so may be able to stop by on the way home from Jacktown. Dave.
Johnson's paste wax was always good for old car bumpers that had rust pitting on them Once cleaned a good coat of wax would prevent rust from reforming on them
It looks like To me the Johnson paste wax did the best Protection compared with all the other products you tested ... great video as always on a Sunday morning Take care looking forward to next Sundays video i hope Mr Chuck is enjoying his new tools
Awesome test, much better than testing completly soaked steel. I recently disasebled a 50 year old airrifle from my grandfather. Looked like this was done the first time ever, but at least it was the first time in 15 years. The barrel was lightly pitted with rust, I expacted the underside (that was covered by the wood) to be completly rusted, but there was nothing. So for me that means, the by far best thing you can do is just wipe it down with pretty much any oil, just remove your sweat. Bevor you put it away. Air huminity itself doesn‘t seem to be that harmful. A long time test with exactly this setip but water vs saltwater would be extremly nice. And with a product called ballistol gunex. Is marketed as an extremly good rust preventer in Germany, but i dont know if they did test is with thick or thin coat. Hope my english was readable, best greetings!
Thanks for doing these comparison videos Magdad. Very interesting. I wonder what’s in Rust Block if it’s oil free??? Have you ever tried Renaissance Wax? It’s expensive but a little goes a long way. Take care 😃👍🏼
Thanks for your excellent rust protection comparison. Glad that Flitz made the best group. Sad about the loss of Johnson’s paste wax. What about Mothers Wax as a substitute?
I have used most of these but still like the look and feel of a cured/dried surface of Johnson's Paste Wax on unfinished metal. I guess I will will be seeking it out on sales of all sorts. Who da thunk it? I have been amazed at the longevity I have gotten after restoring a rusty bench drill press and several years ago applied a coat of Johnson's. It has continued to look good. Thumbs up to Time Flys in the Shop for their gifts. Thanks for your comparison of these products. Flitz must have a wax that it leaves behind to protect the surface.
@@357magdad Another lubricant that I had good luck with for keeping a surface protected is Starrett's M1 Spray Lubricant. It dries/cures in a finish similar to the Johnson's paste wax.
I do a lot of car detailing, and watching this comparison I couldn't help but think that a ceramic coating meant for auto paint would have blown those oils and waxes out of the water. The stuff makes rainwater bead up and roll off, and it's resistant to chemicals like detergents and so on. The downside is that it's very expensive, and once you open the bottle it should be used within a year. Next time I ceramic coat a car, however, I'll shine up a few old tools and see what happens.
I had a feeling Johnsons would be near the top of the performers, I was saddened to see the mineral oil failure. Nice score on the new Johnsons paste wax from Time Flys In The Shop. Chuck also scored with the tools.
Thanks for the test. I was wondering how Scoutcrafter’s white 50-50 would perform. White 50-50 is 50% mineral oil with 50% Vaseline (have to heat to a low heat to combine - can’t combine the two at room temperature). Minwax makes a wax similar to Johnson’s. The Minwax comes in a can similar to a regular paint can so the wax is harder to get out than using Johnson’s.
Thanks for this information, I'm always looking for something to stop my tools from rusting in my workshop here in Florida. I have been using Boeshield T9, but that is pretty expensive. I saw on another video that Min Wax Finishing paste did a good job also.
Thanks Magdad, that's a really useful comparison, I wonder how the results would vary if the finish was not rubbed down ! It's interesting I use Autosol where you use Flitz and I've always felt that it not only polishes but leaves a protective film !
I expected the Wax-It-All to leave more of a protective film like Johnson's did...............As you may or may not know the two main ingredients in WD-40 are Mineral Spirits (Paint Thinner) and Mineral Oil with other additives like a Rust Inhibitor and I think your test shows that the inhibitor actually does help.
Good review, looked like a tough call on them. I use a beeswax and BLO mix. It does ok but it is only good for a few months and thats just sitting in the garage.
Hi great info thnx for taking the time to do this... Did you omit pb blaster intentionally? I just assumed it would be in the mix as it seems to be a household product even though I've only recently discovered it personally
Very valuable information there! I've seen tomm gunn use purple something, I forgot the rest of that products name.. Seemed to hold up very well too, but it sadly isn't available where I'm at... I'll try to find the rust blocker here!
I came here to recommend Minwax paste wax. Johnson's was never available in my region and so I've been using Minwax for years and while I can't give a side by side comparison (because Johnson's was never available here) I'm yet to come across something someone recommends using Johnson's for that Minwax does not seem to do to as expected.
I have the evaporust product but forget to use it.. so use using Johnson paste wax on everything...and im buying all I see at estatesale these days..lol.. just scored another whole can ans some that was marked as dark wax..never seen that before ..but I got a can now lol good stuff
This was excellent! Been trying to find a can of Johnson’s Wax for awhile, think I’m going to call that store and see if I can get a can shipped..if you come across any, let me know!
Better than Project Farm! Know why? Because he tried to cram so much information into as short a video as possible that the viewer experiences anxiety in the fast paced explosion of information both auditory and visual. You, by contrast, are relaxed and paced in a relaxing way that makes absorbing the information easier and more enjoyable. I wonder how petroleum jelly might have performed?
I bought the last 3 cans of Johnson’s wax that Home Depot had. I’ll never finish 1 can in my lifetime, let alone the other two. I even have a 3/4 full can I got at an estate sale.
Evapo rust rust block washes off with water: “When you are ready to remove the invisible coating, simply rinse it away with warm water.” “designed for indoor use. If exposed to water, the water will weaken and/or remove the protective coating.”
@@jertres2887 The Rust Block was a top performer in my worst case scenario salt spray test. I think it will work well protecting my completed projects. I don't plan on leaving any of them out in the rain.
i make my own paste wax by getting beeswax from guy who’s wife works with me and melting it and mixing 50:50 with mineral oil i made it to put on cutting boards i was making but find it good for everything i coat my cast iron table saw with it put it on my work shoes my wife has little container she sait its great chapstick
I had to laugh Johnson's wax worked so well and you can not buy it. I found wd40 not to last, kinds of evaporates as it is very thin and the tools rust.
We'll Done Magdad . WD40 is Great Stuff. I Have My Staples Bowling alley Pastewax I Got From The FM. That's What I Use. That Was Nice Of Time Flys in the Shop. That's An Old Original Rapala Filet Knife Before They Went Plastic ! And That Was Nice He Found You Some Brand New Johnsons !

Thank you for the new can of Johnson's paste wax!
Great project with very valuable information.

Very interesting Magdad !Thank You for sharing!
Thanks Jack!
Nice information I like that test! And great mail call!!
Thanks Mike! That new can of Johnson's wax was a nice surprise!
Great idea using washers! Sometimes I do projects like these and try to section off a single piece of steel. This is way better.
The welding magnet makes it easy to sand the washers smooth!
Great comparison Magdad. I started using Rust Block a couple years ago on saws. Works well, you just can't forget to reapply occasionally.
Thanks Mike! I'm gonna start using the Rust Block on my projects!
@@357magdad Yeah it's like holding a cross up to a Vampire! Be gone rust! LOL!

Nice testing. My favorite corrosion inhibitor is Corrosion X aviation and heavy duty grades.
That stuff is pretty expensive on Amazon!

Thanks Andy. I'm sure a heavier coat of many of the products would have performed better.
Great comparison. I use the Johnson's and Flitz frequently. Now I guess I need to get a can on the ER Rust-Block to fight our Florida humidity.
I would be curious how well the Rust Block works for you!

Keeping our treasures from rusting is a challenge!
I wonder if bowling alley wax will do the same as Johnsons paste wax? I priced it on Amazon and its quite pricey.
I wax hoping the Wax-it-All would be my new wax. I've read that Minwax paste wax is comparable to Johnson's.
Tip of the hat form the maniac reference. Huge fan of butchers wax myself and wd40 when I am feeling lazy and want something quick and easy.
WD-40 is handy stuff!
with the demise of Johnson's paste wax, I have been using Minwax natural paste wax. It seems to be comparable to other wax brands and a bit cheaper.

That's a good price for six cans!
@@357magdad, I didn't realize it was that hard to find now. That's the only place that has them close to retail price now.
Ah, Fluid Film…made with Essence of Billy Goat™️ 🐐
It smells like wet sheep!
The interesting thing is I’m pretty sure CRC now owns Evaporust.
Yes they do.
Also, try the non-food grade wax from Howard. That one would probably do a better job. You’re not eating with your tools, right?
Mrs Magdad is very sensitive to fragrances. The Howard Feed and Wax has orange oil in it that she is allergic to.
I bought the last 3 cans of Johnson’s wax that Home Depot had. I’ll never finish 1 can in my lifetime, let alone the other two. I even have a 3/4 full can I got at an estate sale.

The Wax-it-All is just beeswax, carnauba wax and mineral oil. I was hoping it would be a replacement for the Johnson's wax.
Johnsons wins. I still have almost a full can. I have used it on mainly wood and on occasion on metal. This experiment is sure to almost reverse that.
Use it sparingly! They're not making any more of it!
Interesting
