Overview

Fiddes Liming Wax is a ideal for application on woods such as oak, or those which normally exhibit a distinctive deep grain pattern. Perfect for use on interior floors, doors, skirting boards, architraves, kitchen cabinet doors and more to achieve a traditional limed wax finish.

Preparation

Ensure surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust and other surface contaminants prior to application of Liming Wax.

  1. Remove all previous coatings and finishes, including paints, varnishes, waxes and oils
  2. Sand the wood with a 120 grit sandpaper, through to a medium / fine grit of 180 to 220
  3. Sand in the direction of the grain where possible
  4. Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust from the area to be waxed
  5. De-grease the wood using methylated spirits if required
  6. For a true limed effect, rake the surface of the wood with a clean wire brush, following the grain and seal with a suitable shellac polish, sanding sealer or similar
  7. Fill any holes or gaps in wooden floors with a suitable wood filler

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

  1. Fiddes Liming Wax is best applied with a clean, lint-free cloth
  2. Apply sparingly, working on one small area at a time
  3. Leave for 15 minutes to dry
  4. Apply additional coats as required
  5. Buff in the direction of the grain with a clean cotton cloth

Just the job.

I bought liming wax to re-finish a oak table top, Easy application and after a good buffing a really lovely finish. A really good product and British made !

Effective method to achieve limed oak

I used a circular wire brush in a drill to deepen the grain and then rubbed the wax in. After two coats the effect was about right and the clear finishing wax over the top gave a good polished finish.

Easy to use.

Easy to use liming paste that needs to be sealed with clear wax.

Took to my pine floors well

Takes time, but lovely finish.best finished with cloth rather than a polisher.

Easy to use and wonderful finish

This is a lovely polish which really does bring out a lining finish on wood. Applied with a brush is easiest way to control the amount used -make sure you use gloves and a brush you don't need for anything else. It dries very quickly and with a good polishing motion buffs up beautifully. I used several coats to build up the effect and applied the clear polish from Fiddes to protect further.

Really delighted with this product

Never used liming wax before - always used liming paste then wax but this was a delight to use - once I'd mastered the technique of how to apply it. good results and the general opinion is that it produces the right appearance on the furniture that it was applied to.

Our limed oak kitchen units had turned orange over time. This turned back the clock.

Tried putting on with a cloth as first but then found in was quicker to brush on, leave a few minutes and then buff with a cloth. What a difference! Easy to use and pleasing result!

Grace Filby
Easy to apply and a good first result

A 1990's limed ash table and sideboard were badly in need of some TLC - and this product made a noticeable difference without much effort so I shall be applying it again. Next time I shall have the windows open rather than try it in the midst of winter, since the usual wax aroma was a bit too much for me.

Easy to apply.

I used an old cotton t shirt cut up to apply the wax. Three coats were applied over 24 hours. The first coat looked disappointing but after the 2nd coat it looked better, the 3rd coat gave me the finish that I wanted. Buffed up very easily.

K
Katharine A Medinger
fabulous!

I read the reviews of Fiddes Liming Wax and bought 4 tins. I have 1930s doors which were stripped and if waxed with normal clear or medium brown waxes would go extremely dark. In past renovations I have created a paler limed-oak style finish on them by laboriously layering medium waxes with liming paste or similar by hand. Swearing each time never to do it again. But this liming wax is brilliant. You don't need to scratch the surface to raise the grain (because it's more a general lightening that I am after, rather than a streaked finish). Brush it on, leave it and then buff. Then reapply either another layer or even it out with a mid brown and then do another top coat. I can't tell you how infinitely delighted I am with this product. Anyone wanting to lighten 1930s doors (which tend to be quite an orangey brown) into a more Scandi style - this IS your product

Beautiful finish

Just the white washed look I wanted for our new oak doors, but with lovely wax finish too to keep wood in great condition.

Easy to use with eye catching results.

We built a fire surround out of garden sleepers,we chiselled out areas to make it look authentic and the liming wax enhanced the effect.

Does a great job

This liming wax is so easy to use: just brush on, brush off and buff. It leaves a great finish bringing out the natural colour and grain of the wood. Highly recommended.
