As a conservator recently out of grad school and entering the professional conservation sphere, I'm interested in learning more about current accepted practices within conservation. Most recently I've been hearing a lot of opinions about the use of Renaissance Wax as a coating on metals, both good and bad. I was wondering what the current consensus is about the use of Renaissance Wax in conservation practice. In the case of unfavorable opinions about it, have they changed the formulation of it in recent years, or have people noticed any undesirable aging properties? I'm typically a fan of using it on indoor metals like bronzes, but I'm interested to know if this is accepted modern practice.
