Will order immediately. Is the PRELIM worthwhile getting?
A mildly abrasive, creamy paste designed for non-scratch cleaning, stain removal and freshening of many surfaces, especially metals and enamels. In addition it can be used for china, feathering repairs to ceramics, air-brushed glazed surfaces and creates a fantastic "brushed finish" for metals (i.e. knife blades). PRE-LIM produces a brilliant silky, smooth finish.
Its formulation is based on a blend of Neuburg silica chalks in a buffered emulsion of petroleum distillates (white spirit) and water, with emulsifier and thickener. It is "benign," with no notable health hazards and is non-flammable. Protective clothing is not required.
Apply with a soft rag, rubbing gently but effectively; controlled by pressure applied. After a few minutes of air-drying the residual chalky deposit is easily cleaned off with a new soft rag/cloth.
It isn't for wood, but sounds good for the blade.
Beautiful pipes on your site!
Thanks again.
Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,
I sell the small cans of Renaissance Wax. If you haven't already purchased some, send me an email back channel for prices.
I also sell the Pre-Lim. It's good for some metals such as silver, brass, and nickel silver. I used it to polish the raised portion of the aluminum mirror stems I made for my Harley. That's one in the attached picture. Pre-Lim won't do anything to a stainless knife blade. It's not aggressive enough to really polish hardened stainless. It may remove some oxidation from carbon steel, but I'm not sure. It may work on some dense woods like cocobola or blackwood, but the spirts in it could be absorbed into some woods.
I believe your Tru-Oil was still wet because it won't soak into the oily cocobola. Danish and tung oils would probably do the same. Stick with sanding to a fine grit and giving it a light buffing.
