Absolutely, this product is perfect for any wooden items requiring good protection. Another big advantage of this product is that repairs are very easy to do should the need arise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.Is hard wax oil any different to linseed oil or Danish oil?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It&#8217;s better because the wax content keeps the oil suspended in the surface of the wood for longer. This means that it&#8217;s a more durable oil and that that maintenance is required less frequently. Also 2-3 coats are recommended (2 for everywhere except table tops and high traffic areas) where as 3-5 coats are recommended for Linseed oil, Danish oil and Tung oil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. I have an old oak floor that has been finely sanded, is the hard wax oil a good choice for it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It is beneficial if the wood grain is open when applying this product because hard wax oil mainly sinks into the wood and becomes a part of the wood. For that reason it requires a fairly open grain to accept the oil and whilst being applied it is necessary to work the product into the wood. If you want to use any oil on your floor, but especially a wax oil it is recommended to sand the floor with a 150 grit sandpaper or coarser. Then this product will be ideal for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Can I use a steam cleaner or steam mop to clean my oiled floor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. In short, &#8216;No&#8217;. Oiled and waxed finishes on floors are &#8216;Micro-porous&#8217; which means that although the wood is protected, it can still breath as it is not completely sealed as it would be with a varnish.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning oiled or waxed floors with a steam cleaner or steam mop introduces high temperature and pressure water which can strip and penetrate the oiled or waxed finish and potentially damage the wooden floor.<\/p>\n<h2>Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Video Transcript<\/h2>\n<p>Hi I&#8217;m Ben O\u2019Reilly from Wood-Finishes-Direct, and welcome to the product test and how to video guide. In this video I&#8217;m going to be discussing the Fiddes Hard Wax Oil ranges. They are a solvent based blend of natural oils and waxes that offer excellent durability, liquid repellency and a more natural look and feel to your interior wooden surfaces. They come in a range of clear and \n<a title=\"Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Tints\" href=\"\/product\/fiddes-hard-wax-oil-tints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\ncoloured<\/a> oils.<\/p>\n<p>The oil I am going to be using is, Fiddes Hard Wax Oil in Clear Satin. And I will be putting it onto my trusty spool table, over time of me filming video\u2019s on it and it also being used as a demo table in our shop it had picked up a few stains and a little bit of damage, so I have knocked it back with some p120 paper just far enough to give me the opportunity to do a maintenance coat, whilst still maintaining its rustic look.<\/p>\n<p>The applicator I&#8217;m going for today is the Mako Natural Bristle Wood-Care brush, it&#8217;s a really unique brush, they actually have hollow bristles so they suck the oil up like a straw and disperse it at really nice even rate. Once you&#8217;ve stirred your oil, and poured it into your paint tray you are ready to apply. To apply, just work in manageable areas, in long even strokes and with the grain, and of-course apply sparingly too.<\/p>\n<p>So after applying I&#8217;m now going to remove any excess, with a \n<a href=\"\/product\/woodleys-microfibre-cloths\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\nWoodleys Microfibre Cloth<\/a>, this may seem counter-intuitive however its very important you don&#8217;t let any excess dry on the surface. What you are actually doing is half helping it work into the wood, half wiping it off.<\/p>\n<p>So I have let this dry for just over 4 hours, and its really brought it back to life. That\u2019s the beauty of oils, for example say when you do eventually get some damage you need to either clean the area or give it a sand back depending on the severity of the damage and then re-apply another thin coat of oil and you are back as good as new.<\/p>\n<p>If this was your first coat you would need to denib now, you would be denibbing with a \n<a title=\"Manns Finishing Pad\" href=\"\/product\/woodleys-finishing-pads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\nWoodleys Finishing Pad<\/a>. What you need to do is just work with the grain and work across the whole item. As this is technically a top coat, I won&#8217;t be doing it today.<\/p>\n<p>A full list of products featured and used in this video is available in the description on YouTube.
