Has anybody ever heard of Bowling alley wax?

Today I was helping my sister clean out an old outbuilding, getting it ready for demolition when I came across a full 4 pound can of
"Butchers Bowling Alley Wax". I opened it up, and the smell of turpentine and mineral spirits was clear to me. Label on the can says it contains Carnuba and other fine waxes, it is a paste wax.

I cant figure out how to post pictures on this site, but if a member here would be so kind to pm me with a cell phone # I can text pictures of the can and contents to you and you can post them here.

BAW is some tough stuff. Once dry, it has a very strong film strength. (think ten pound bowling balls slamming onto the lane) A couple of coats on a sub-sonic cast bullet should work very well.

Great stuff. I have been using it on the knives I make. Works great on the steel and handle material. Smells good too!

Ten pound balls are the lightest allowed in sanctioned leagues. My wife rolls with a sixteen pound ball. So yes, it's one tough wax!

So, I just rescued $120 worth of wax from the dumpster??? SWEET!!!

I pulled 2 1/2 cases (30 cans) of Butchers out of a dumpster a few years ago, I’ve been mixing it half and half with Lee liquid lube.

might very well be the best wax!!

Nice score!

great on Older stocks, antique guns both metal and wood to prevent rust. Not to Good for Newer Rifles with New synthetic finish
