Product Information

Additional coats can be applied for extra protection or if applying to bare wood. Maintenance with Beeswax If you use beeswax to finish a wooden bowl or plate, it’s best to keep these things away from high heat and only use them to handle cold cuts or salads. 3. Needs To Be Reapplied Regularly A wafer-thin layer remains on the wood surface, which you may not be able to see, but which prevents the wax from being absorbed into the wood. Therefore, you should always sand down the piece of furniture as well. On the other hand, you should use polyurethane or other durable wood surfaces when you need to finish to be highly durable, water-resistant, and scratch-resistant. For example, outdoor furniture or countertops would be the most suitable for this type of finish. Wrapping Up You are going to be as meticulous as possible. If necessary, you can use paint stripper, a spatula or a heat gun. For the subsequent cleaning, it is best to only use water, if necessary in conjunction with an intensive cleaner specially designed for wood.

Liberon Beeswax is ideal for nourishing absorbent woods such as pine and oak, especially when they are unsealed, or for use on items that have been dipped for stripping. Our natural beeswax polish blend has been used by professional furniture restorers, heritage organisations and the general public with great success for many years. Does a beeswax wood finish make wood slippery? In a way, yes it does. Previously we mentioned that beeswax tends to give wood a sheen finish, and this sheen finish can be pretty slippery. It’s for this reason that finishing wax is used in conjunction with beeswax, as not only does it protect the finish, but it also provides a bit more surface friction. For furniture that has become damaged by scratches and damage due to the heat or being exposed to the sunlight you can use beeswax to “repair” it. Just apply beeswax on the affected areas and it will hide the damage. 7. Restores the natural beauty of the wood Suppose you use the beeswax on woods with an open grain like oak. You must be very careful since the wax will penetrate and get trapped in the pores. With the wax in the grain patterns, it becomes difficult to remove, and it may give the surface an odd look by developing a whitish color.

Are there disadvantages of a beeswax finishes on wood? We mentioned previously that although beeswax is an objective good wood treatment, it is by no means a perfect one. This being said, let’s have a look at a few of the notable disadvantages of using beeswax as a wood treatment for your workpieces.

Another one of the noticeable disadvantages of using beeswax as your wood treatment of choice is that it tends to yellow over time. While this change in hue is not immediately noticeable at first it can be off-putting when it is. This is why in some instances it’s best to go with other natural wood treatments like tung and/or linseed oil.If you’re familiar with any type of wax, you’ll know that running your nails over a waxed surface can leave a scratch. Although beeswax designed to finish wood has been treated to harden somewhat, this is still unavoidable. Economical. Not only the materials are inexpensive, the tool required for the application cannot be less. First you have to clean the furniture to be treated well. If you have accumulated remains of dirt, it is best to start with a sanding of the entire surface. Remove the dust that will remain when sanding and continue. Yes, it is suitable for wood finish since it provides the wood with a warm glow, and it’s one of the best natural ways of protecting your wood surfaces. You can also use a hairdryer to melt the wax and use a wet sponge to wipe it down, but this method can be inefficient, especially if you need to cover a large area.
