I use Top Coat in between JPW applications on table surfaces. It's fast and easy to apply. As soon as I feel stock not gliding across the tables smooth, I just spray on some Top Coat, wipe off, and I'm back in business. It doesn't seem to build up fast as long as you don't wait too long between JPW applications.

My Shopsmith help kit came with a small can as part of the kit.

No worries.

Thank You! I will 'go get some'!:)

I will have to check my help kit and see what is in it.;)



"Obviously, there has been a maintenance step that I have been neglecting for all these years. Now TopCote might not be the right stuff. Only time will tell. But right now, my table goers up and down like a brand new unit.

Now how do I know that? I have not had a brand new unit for 25 years and I certainly don't remember that far back."

Dusty,
I will try and remedy that here shortly.

I have top coat on hand and have used it on table tops. I don't remember why but I didn't like it. I do use the Johnsons wax on the tubes. I am always very careful to not leave any wax behind to build up. JIM
