Deck wax

[David Allinson]

Hi Derek.  
This is turning into a very interesting subject!!!!  
I just thought that I would try and find a local supplier of the Carnauba wax, so stuck it into Google.  
Wow 626,000 hits!! It seems that almost everything has it in from high quality car polish to lipstick!!  
Apparently it is obtained from the leaf of a tree in Brazil and is distributed in 1Kg blocks to the people who mix it up into a usable form. Did your usable form come in a car wax, furniture wax or is it neat Carnauba wax with has solvent mixed to get it into a liquid form? If so, what is its intended use on the bottle, other than the decks of model boats, which I am sure it doesn’t mention.?  
All the best and thanks  
David

Hi PD's - this is betwixt & between :!:  :!: David

My little 125 gm tin of 'Feast Watson' brand 'Master Touch' 'Carnabura wax' nominates that it is 60% D-limonene and is used for the 'protection, restoration & rejuvination' of timber

The MSDS for D-limonene says a Class 3 fire hazard &   for air freight

The MSDS for 'Feast Watson' brand 'Master Touch' 'Carnabura' WAX says it is not a fire hazard for air freight according to IATA ruling

So when I politely  :rant explain all of this to the patient postal  : manager in my home city, he   educates with   "if it is made from D-limonene you cannot post it"

The 'Carnabura wax' product doesn't appear to be much different in composition shade or appearance to neutral shoe polish   - Derek

Derek.  
Thanks for all your efforts and your chat with the patient postmaster.  
Now that everything is all completely clear that is/not a fire hazard, I will see what I can find. Many thanks for your patience.  
Enough said.  
All the very best  
David

Hi PD's - possibly a little   , but in review I think typical of these unclear messages & decisions as made around our world are all post September 11 related  

Having said this, I do not mock that day nor the care or and responsibility that decision makers must face in such seemingly simple matters of eg., 'is it OK to post /air freight a 'bitta' wax 3/4 of the way around the world' :?:  - Derek
