An "oldtimer" (older than I) suggested that I use waxed paper on my RBI table. It doesn't really wax it, but it sort of smooths it out a bit. Nothing slides off - but everything moves easily. Just wad it up, and rub the table with it - I rub in little circles. Sort of like we used to use a bread wrapper on the playground slide - and it has been a long time since bread came in waxed paper - or I went down a slide, for that matter.

I use Johnson paste wax on my table, works very well. Have even tried it on the bandsaw table with excellent results.
