Does anyone use Renaissance wax?

Does anyone use Renaissance wax on thier wood inlay sebenzas? If so, do you have to be careful not to get it on the titanium? And how exactly do you apply it?

You can wipe the whole knife down, soft cotton cloth and warm wax. Very light application.

How exactly do you warm the wax? And after wiping the whole knife down, do I just buff it off? I appreciate it

Just an FYI. Ren wax was designed to protect many hundred years old frail artefacts at the British Museum. I assure that the Titanium on a Sebbie will be totally impervious to anything in it.

Yeah, I know about it, I just read that you don't want to get it on the titanium or it could cause stains or something. If I coat the whole knife that won't matter lol.

I use the wax on knives, guns, anything you don't want to use an abrasive wax on. It is good stuff.

It's a microcrystaline wax that stays together better than many natural and some other synthetic waxes.
I've been using it on knives, guns, plastic, woodwork, and some bronze and brass. Just apply a thin coat and buff it off. Before this I used Johnson's Paste Wax before it was discontinued.

What have you seen where it can stain titanium? I've seen some threads here that it can turn white in bead blasted titanium, and in the grooves of fine checkering. That's not staining the ti though, that's the wax itself that was left thick in those areas because it's hard to buff it thin and smooth on those surfaces. Many waxes will do this as it dries out. You might be able to prevent it if you use a brush (like one of the very small shoe brushes) to buff it. Also a good way to buff the wax on wood carvings so it doesn't build up in the crevices.
