MikeF Report post Posted May 9, 2020 I'm halfway through a large bottle of Wyo Slik...I haven't been happy with the results...I've read some gushing positive reviews here on the product from a few years ago...so my knee jerk reaction is I've got something wonky in the process...but I thought I'd check and see what the contemporary experience is with the stuff... My primary disappointment is: Seems like I a get a great glassy edge in process, which is basically, sand with wet/dry (maybe), smear it on with a dauber, burnish with a stick, burnish some more with nasty 20 year old piece of saddle soaped duck cloth, dye (maybe), then burnish some more with a stick and "Nasty Cloth". When I come back in a day or so,when everything is dried out though, it seems the edge has lost its burnish and glassy texture...basically looks and feels like I'd just finished sanding. So I do it all over again...and same result. Not impressive... What am I missing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrymac Report post Posted May 9, 2020 To get a longer lasting shine, paraffin is used as the final step, usually burnished with some sort of a mechanical device. The problem is this only last for a period of time, especially when worn everyday. I have gone to using edge paint. It is a much more tedious process, but when applied properly it is tough. This stuff lasts. I am using Venis or Herrera, both sold by Rocky Mountain Supply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
