I have used both 3-in-1 and candle wax, and I have to say they are quite different. I find that the candle wax is harder to apply, but works in fairly well. It perhaps over-lubricates the plane though. I often find it sends the plane flying across surfaces unexpectedly, and makes it harder to balance a plane on a smaller surface. 3-in-1 has less of these problems, but it doesn’t seem to last as long.
I haven’t settled on a preference yet.
