Carbon Coating Kit

My shop is located in my garages on a barrier island off the coast of Central Florida between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. Read "Harsh Environment". I've recently treated my 2010 Saw Stop Industrial Table Saw. Rust is a constant battle. Over the years I've used paste wax, WD-40, Boeshield T-9, probably others with limited success. The most difficult and time consuming part of the Carbon Treatment is cleaning the surface. Started with mineral spirits to remove any remaining coating, then through 400, 800, and 2,000 non-woven pads lubricated with WD-40 , and driven by a cheap ROS. After this and prior to thorough cleaning, I worked a couple of small areas with pitting with medium and fine sandflex hand cleaning / polishing blocks. Then I cleaned the table top multiple times to remove all residue. I then applied the Carbon Coat Treatment. I won't go through this in detail since I followed the instructions in the supplied Application Guide exactly. My intent was to apply 3 / 4 coats as per the literature. However, since I did have a question and contacted Dan, the owner / founder, he suggested that they have had a lot of success in harsh environments with applying 6 coats, which I did. The application process goes quickly. However, since you need to treat small sections of the tool and you need to wait one hour between coats, you virtually dedicate a complete day to the process. Then, a day or two later, you apply a coat of Carbon Glide. The table has never been this 'slick', with wood almost 'floating' on the surface. I only completed this about two weeks ago, so at this point I don't know how well it will hold up and prevent further corrosion. I'll submit a follow up in about six months. One last comment, my interaction with Dan was excellent, he seems to be a great guy.

We ran this coating on our saw stop for over a year and was blown away at the results! We used to get rust every 6 weeks or so when we used paste wax. After an entire year with carbon method, we have no real rust spot or pitting. Carbon glide is a great maintenance coating as well that helps keep the surface slick. Cant recommend this stuff enough!

Prep was very easy got everything cleaned and the carbon coat on. Waiting 48 hours to put on the carbon glide on and should be good to go. I did my new Harvey table saw and my Powermatic Band saw. I’ll follow up in a few week and post a review on my YouTube channel.

Awesome, easy to apply, very happy to make the investment

This stuff feels amazing and provides a very low friction finish. The problem is that it didn't take very long for the coat to wear away, and I even had some rust appear where I had left parts clamping on the table saw surface for a few days. Would not recommend. Renaissance - Micro Crystalline is a superior product, will provide far more mileage for the cost (many times more as I use 1/100th, or 2ml, of a container for the table saw top whereas the Carbon Method requires 1/4 of the bottle)

I bought the double pack for 2~4 machines. The rpoduct seems to be working so far. I will confess that I have not yet tested the new surface or the Carbon Glide. But 2~3 weeks after sealing the top, no rust!!! I recall BoeShield in a Texas Coast environment FAILED on the first day of aplication on a brand new table saw. I would suggest that the Carbon Cleanse size be enlarged a bit. Mine still has two surfaces to prep and I have about 1/3 of a bottle left. Yes I used as directed.

Excellent product. I have struggled with keeping my Iron in good shape. I have tried other products but this one tops them all. I applied it to my new Industrial Saw Stop and wow. What a difference. So I just ordered more to put it on My lathe, 20 planer, Jointer, Band saw and router table. Thanks Carbon Method.

Beautiful results

Applied easily, took some time to prep tools. Applied coating to cabinet table saw, 15 inch planer, small table top jointer, bandsaw and oscillating sander. Had enough product for 3 coats on each. Glide coat made surfaces very slick.

This product was so awesome!. I live in very humid Texas and am constantly fighting woodworking equipment rust. The process was very clear and I am totally pleased with the results. I don't plan to ever use anything else in my shop and am already telling my fellow woodworkers about the products.
