Pretty much the same stuff in the Minwax version, but Minwax is harder and I prefer it for furniture and other wood-working projects. I'd venture a guess that it would also suit me better in tumble lube, because I prefer it to require heating to
make it runny, rather than it
start runny. Dries harder, drier, faster that way.
If this discontinuation is by result of regulatory folly, then the alternates will go away too. If it's just a SCJ thing, maybe the alternates will be available, but I'd bet they all go away because of the VOC content.
I still wax furniture that I make. Not much of a market supporter in that I'm still working out of a 30yo can though.
In the Army, we used TONS of JPW on the floors - "sweep, mop-n-buff" EVERY morning, EVERY floor, except the tile floors in the latrines. The best applicator was a lone wool-blend, issue sock.
Probably did more for character-building and discipline that the floors. I still remember having to knock heads together each time I saw a flaming can of JPW sitting unattended in the middle of a hallway floor. Someone would light it to make it easier to POUR on the floor, get distracted by cartoons or soap operas and forget they'd set it on fire.
The Infantry draws a..... "creatively adventuresome" crowd.
