This?

For everything?

I'm not a member at CB but I bought all of the remaining JW at HD a while back.

I only use it to seal banded already lubed so far.

Just today I was advised to use this stuff for some Lee 356120TCs I made from a brand new mold.

Is the Johnson Was a floor or a car wax? I looked for it a couple months ago at WalyWord, but couldn't find it. Is it a discontinued product?

OK, I did a google search. Seems Lowe's carries it. I'll be going to Lowe's tomorrow! I'm disliking the gunkiness of Alox.

I was told it is discontinued by the manufacturer. I bought the last three at Home Depot. The 60/40 has Alox in it and it looks like Alox but behaves better. It's not as sticky.

Not a car wax, it is a floor wax.

Nope, not discontinued. Wal-Mart does not carry it for some reason.

Some retailers stopped selling it. Must be why the rumor started elsewhere.

For those that find it in stock locally, please post the retailer. I still have 2.5 containers but I'd like to know for future reference. There is no Lowes here and WM/HD don't have it.

There's discontinued by the manufacturer as in no longer produced and then discontinued by the retailer/wholesaler as in no longer stocked.

This stuff has been a staple of the folks making plastic and vinyl models for decades.
