    Also works good for the interior surfaces of Packard shutters when you clean them up after their 80 year sleep. I always keep a can of paste wax around.

    At one of the View Camera conferences JB and Susan Harlin taught us that Renaissance Wax by Picreator not only makes parts slide well, it helped keep out dust. They coat their cameras, gear and film holders before each trip. I now do the same 2 or 3 times a year.

    “Renaissance wax was developed for use on the British Museums priceless antiques, this special blend of micro-crystalline waxes will not stain or discolor with aging. It is acid neutral, water and alcohol resistant. Preferred by museums worldwide for protecting furniture, leather, marble, paintings and metal. 200 ml, 7 oz.” text from Amazon site. http://www.amazon.com/Picreator-Rena...2383218&sr=8-3

    I have seen it on Amazon.com, Light Impressions and other frame and mounting supply stores. I no longer use Light Impressions due to poor service.
