Liming Wax

Liming wax for a great white-grain effect

To obtain a 'white washed' effect on bare wood such as pine, beech or oak, Liming Wax polish can be easily applied directly onto the wooden or furniture surface. Once dry it should be sealed in with Fiddes Supreme wax.

Any number of clear wax coats can be applied over the Liming Wax finish to get the desired affect, it's normal to re-wax a surface every 6-12 months although this is not essential. Additional coats of Clear Fiddes Supreme Wax Polish wax will offer an improved patina and increased durability to your furniture and wood surfaces.

Liming Wax will keep in an airtight container for at least 2 years if stored at temperatures above 8 degrees C and below 22 degrees C, in most instances it will last much longer if kept in the right conditions. As with almost all wood care products, if exposed to very cold or hot temperatures the consistency and performance of the product may change, liming wax will normally return to a useable consistency albeit not quite the same as when new when returned to normal conditions!

As one of the leading liming wax suppliers in the UK, you can be assured that our liming wax is made from the finest ingredients to ensure the best possible finish.

All untreated surfaces need to be clean and dry. Apply a generous coat, working on small areas at a time and buff to a sheen after the recommended drying time.

Buffing Liming Wax

To achieve a deep lustre, buff the waxed surface with a clean stockinette cloth. Turned and moulded areas are easier to buff with a brush such as one of our hand buffing brushes. Drill buffing brushes are also available which can be attached to a standard electric drill saving on time and elbow grease! A range of brushes and applicators for this job and many more are available from wood-finishes-direct.

Coverage

It is difficult to give accurate coverage estimates as the amount required varies dramatically from wood to wood. As a guideline we recommend allowing 500ml of Liming Wax for each 10 square metres.

Drying Time

A thick coat will dry within 20 minutes and a thin coat will dry in around 5 mins.
