If you have nothing to do the next day you can give it another buff in the morning before you put your things back on the surface. I'm using a combination of mineral oil, turpentine and beeswax to finish my cherry and walnut end tables and I want them to be extremely smooth when I'm done. I was using just regular medical grade gloves but ended up just using a pair of old dish washing gloves. One thing I would suggest is to do it in the morning and open all windows and doors to let the air in the room you are using it.

We are having new countertops/sink/backsplash put in and then I’m hoping everyone will see what I see in them! This did take a lot of elbow grease but if you have some help you can get done in a day (only took me two)! With this table I apply it in thirds (low, mid, top) [lower section in 1st picture], let each section dry and buff each section out [In the second photo you can see the buffed area on the left before I applied the clear coat to the middle portion]. I made the mistake of doing it at night and almost two hours later I couldn't breath, the smell of the product was pretty strong through the house.

Just hold your piece (if its relatively small) or the brush if that's larger than the piece, and give the whole surface a good brush. I would really like to try this, but I am not sure how to change out my existing hardware without leaving holes. It did take a little extra work, but the extra wax helped make sure everything was covered and I didn’t have any problems with streaking.

Really thinking about doing this with my “natural” oak cabinets, that have now yellowed with time and sun. We found ours to look streaky in parts around the edges where we couldn’t really get all the way against the line. I did use Briwax once to make an outdated shiny brass ceiling fan look like antique brass and it turned out fantastic! I’m sure it does wear off over quite a long period of time, probably moreso on parts of the door that are touched often, and in that case it may help to apply some new wax. I probably would not wax the inside of the cabinets, but again it’s hard for me to say without knowing what material is inside.tape off whatever you’re going to be working near (walls, appliances, etc…) and lay down aomething to protect surfaces underneath ( counters, floor, etc…).

I wondered if you’ve had any other experiences with the wax on other projects since your original post… thanks! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You can then use the finer nylon brush to add some extra sheen to the wood, by repeating the same process.

Quick to dry, the Original Wax can be applied directly onto timber or onto Briwax Shellac Sanding sealer, too give your pieces a stunning natural oak finish.Read how she went from overwhelmed and burned out to a thriving and motivated stay at home mom on the about page. Most people, in my experience tend to apply beeswax without having brushed the wood first, and finish by buffing with just a cloth.
