I've been using Top Cote for about 10 years now. I frequently leave the country for anywhere from six months to a year, so one of my priorities is to make sure my tools aren't covered with a coat of rust when I return. Normally if I know I'll be gone for a while I'll put a coat on everything steel in my shop, to include hand tools like saws and chisels. Occasionally there are some isolated rust spots, but for the most part this stuff saves me from having to steel wool everything twice a year. It's easier and quicker to apply than car wax and it won't contaminate finishes like silicone. The only down side is that it wears off my thickness planer bed pretty quickly when planing rough cut purpleheart, or similar abrasive woods. I'm not sure why some people get bothered by the white haze it leaves on the surface since that's the easiest way for me to see where I need to recoat. |

better than car wax |
I am a professional cabinet maker, which means I use my tools day in and day out. I have applied top cote and car wax, top cote is definately better. As far as the bogus claims about surfaces rusting, that is due to someone's very irresponsible care of their tools. I have had mine for several years, and can tell you that if your tools are rusting it has nothing to do with top cote. As far as the "milkly" surface, this product leaves a white residue, which according to directions, you should rub lightly with a clean dry cloth. After this is done, I see nothing but the metal surface I started with. When following directions, this product performs as advertised, my only complaint is that it doesn't last long enough. But car wax does not last longer anyway. I will be trying the "table top lube" when it comes out.
You guys that are complaining about rust need to take better care of your tools! My tools are in a clean dry shop, and several of them have had nothing but top cote applied to them ever, and they don't have any rust in them, even after several years. |

Don't bother if you live in California |
Cannot buy this product if you live in California due to environmental laws.
Product says nothing about it and states:
Shipping: This item can only be shipped to the 48 contiguous states. We regret it cannot be shipped to APO/FPO, Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico.
Caifornia isn't part of the 48 lower states! |

Not as good as it once was! |
I have used TOPCOTE spray for several years on my table saw. This product does not seem to look or last like the old orange colored can or the real old pump spray bottle that I use to get. The current stuff now has a white flakey coating that flakes off and is sticky, the boards don't seem to slide like before. Now my new can is half full and won't spray any more! I checked the spray tip and it's not clogged but still nothing comes out when I push on the spray tip! It's like it lost its air! Don't waste your money it's not as good as it once was!
At the woodworkers guild meeting they recommended I use this new stuff called Table Top Lube from EMPIRE and they gave me a small sample. I tried it and it seems to work just like the old TopCote stuff!
Here on amazon Table-Top Lubricant sells for $14.99.
It cost more but I think it is work it.

I like this stuff.... |
I've been using top cote on my machine tops, metal fences and guides for about five years now. I live in western Washington and moisture here can be a problem. Especially when your shop is in the basement of a 80 year old house,on the shores of a lake.
I have never had a problem with rust on my machine surfaces when I prepared them properly. The last step, I take, before applying the top cote, is to wipe the surface with alcohol. This removes any residual moisture and cleans the pores of the metal. Using a quality car wax will import silicon to your metal surface which in turn will transfer it to your wood workpiece. This can really cause problems with a lot of finish's. Silicon is very difficult to remove from wood and will block penetration of most oil based finish's.It can also affect "natural" wax's, such as carnuba and bee's wax.
The top cote layer does provide a nice slick surface and I have no difficulty telling when a new treatment is needed, especially when ripping hardwoods.
I also use Dri Cote (seperate review) on my blades and cutters.
I recommend this product to everyone, follow the directions on the can and you won't be disappointed. |
