SPECIAL NOTES:
a) This product is NOT advisable
for horizontal woodwork in wet
areas such as Kitchens, Bathrooms, Laundries etc. Refer to
ORGANOIL HARD BURNISHING OIL listed under
our Classic Woodcraft Finishes.
b) Should you be considering using this wax over previously
stained wood: It
would definitely NOT BE RECOMMENDED if said stain was surface-residing
using
pigments/colourants. Should stain used be of the penetrative wood
dye process,
then given the min. 14 days curing/drying requirement,
this wax should be fine for polishing over. Do a trial (in an obscure location)
to appraise any degree
of colourant disturbance.
c) For the palest, least-darkening cabinetry finish possible,
a double (2) wax application and polish to raw woodwork, (fine-sanded to min.
600-1200 grit - the finer the better), is recommended. Permit a minimum 24 hours
between wax
applications.
APPEARANCE:
Pale, SATIN sheen with minimal deepening of existing colour/s.
STAINING:
As this product is an emulsified paste it cannot have
colourants added
to it. Any colour imparting (whether a ‘wet look’ from a clear oil,
or stain effect of wood dye) must be conducted to the raw wood
first, though
refer Special Note b) above.
SIZES AVAILABLE:
250ml, 500ml & 2 litre tubs. For availability visit website
home page.
COVERAGE:
Approx. 10 square metres per 250ml / 20 square
metres per 500ml
PREPARATION:
1. a. If conducting a pale, double-wax finish
to raw wood, fine sand surfaces through to min. 600-1200 grit
paper (the
finer
the better).
1. b. Where wax-finishing over recent coat of Olde
Style DANISH
OIL (and having permitted min. 14 days curing/drying
time to elapse) you should inspect surfaces for raised grain/fibres (very likely
on plywoods). Before waxing, remove any
evidence of such by sanding through to 600 – 1200 grit
paper.
2. Ensure surfaces are clear of sawdust etc. clean and dry.
APPLICATION:
1. Ensure you have understood aforementioned usage,
notes and preparationadvice.
2. Apply wax sparingly and evenly to
surfaces with clean lint-free cloth (eg. Cotton,
linen).
3. Leave under ventilation to go tacky (approx. 5 minutes
in WINTER / 15 minutes in SUMMER) then firmly buff/rub over
areas with fresh, lint-free cloth. Note: If your cloth is overly grabbing,
you may be approaching the buff/rub too early (wait a few more minutes), OR you
may have over-applied wax to areas (rub excess off with white, synthetic scourer/s
then buff off).
4. Where conducting double-wax finish, leave project for min. 24 hours
then repeat
Application steps 2) and 3) as stated.
5. Should you then power buff with lambswool (a further,
min. 24-48 hours later)
patina improves.
6. Now leave finished project to fully cure/air-dry for 5-7
day (avoiding spills
or objects placed on).
MAINTENANCE:
In the short term, shine can be sustained by simply buffing over with clean,
dry cloth. To remove grime from grab/finger marking etc. wipe over surfaces with
solution of warm water and methylated spirits (for heavy, built-up grime utilise
with synthetic scourers). Once dry, revisit Application sets 2)and 3),
though be VERY sparing with wax. Wax finishes by their nature are prone
to water/heat marking, so be selective where you utilise, and be very considerate
of their treatment (use coasters, doilies etc.) Sometimes such marking may dissipate
over the ensuing days, if not, you may be able
to remove by using this wax as
a “cutting-agent” in unison with synthetic scourer, then cloth buff
over.
BOTTOM LINE:
A very classy finish, though choose its location use thoughtfully as it requires
respectful treatment. ALWAYS use wax sparingly, and finally, you are not excused
from referring to can’s instruction label for other storage, disposal,
health and safety considerations.
