This is a first time project for me and I am practicing on an old Mosin Nagant stock. I am using grey Marine Tex as the bedding material. Can I use paste car wax as a release agent and if so exactly how would I apply it? Thanks in advance.

I have always used Kiwi clear shoe polish wax and have never had a problem. It is recomended here often.

Forgot to add that I apply with a cloth. I use two coats and do not polish after applying. Some suggest to polish after applying.

A Release wax is the best as it's rating is higher for exothermic reaction .

No matter what type of wax one chooses , proper procedure is application and dry soft cloth removal .

Do you leave visible wax residue on your vehicles after a waxing application , without buffing off

the excess residuals ?. NO !.

Key is to Clean surfaces to be released prior to waxing , Then apply 2-3 coat minimum application and

hand wipe residual off each application . If done properly Nothing will stick .

I prefer a paste wax with higher % of carnuba .

I have NO ISSUES with Teflon waxes as used in Marine , Aircraft and some Automotive brands .

" Silicone SUCKS "! , for these applications !. Stay away for Silicone based products !!!.

Use Kare , Meguiar's or TR brands with complete confidence / 44 years experience justifies my opinion .

I've also used wood floor wax Johnson & Johnson although if floor wax is ones only option , I prefer

this brand to all other floor wax products . Dura Seal .

Others have used Kiwi shoe polishes and such I haven't ,as my shoes don't require polish so why buy what

I don't need or use !. I have cases of Mold releases !.
