I have yet to find a shop that does not have a can that is used extensively. 

Slip it is IMO an expensive upgrade.

When you say Expensive upgrade how much better is it then paste wax?  So have you used it?  If so what did you use it on and how long did it last and how did it work against corrosion?

To me and a lathe if something worked better and lasted longer it would be better to have but I know nothing about it.  So have you used it?  If it lasted and protected the ways better and made it easy to move the banjo and tail stock and head stock then I would think for me anyway it would be better and buy it.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

If you use it like I use it  there is no difference. 
 
Have I used it? 

Yes but not in my shop; one I do service work for has some. They also have a can of Johnson's paste wax. 

Guess which one gets used by the help mainly because it does the job in less time and easy to apply over and over again


Now we are talking about a shop that cranks out 5-10K BF a month 

On a lathe done once in a blue moon I am sure it is adequate..  just expensive

I need to do that too....and rotate the cutters in the planer and jointer as well. 

Normally I do it between Christmas and New Years....but I was busy. Has been that way all month. 

TS is getting bad. Been using a ton of cherry, and pitch is building up. To the left of the insert, there is quite a buildup, to the point every few weeks I need to take a razor and scrape a layer off
