FAQs

What type of wood is this product best for?

It is ideal for absorbent woods such as pine and oak, especially unsealed surfaces. It is suitable for both hard and soft woods.

Can I use this in my kitchen or bathroom?

No, it is not suitable for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms due to its protective properties not being water-resistant.

How do I prepare the wood surface before applying?

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust. For best results, use on unsealed wood.

What does 'EN 71 Part 3 approved' mean?

This certification means the product meets safety standards for toys, indicating it has low toxicity.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Be aware that it may thicken in cold weather.

How often should I reapply Liberon Beeswax Liquid?

Reapplication frequency depends on the item's use and environment. Typically, reapplication is needed when the finish begins to dull or show signs of wear.

Can this product be used over existing finishes?

It is primarily designed for unsealed woods. Applying over existing finishes may result in poor adhesion and an inconsistent appearance. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Wax is too thick to apply

Stand the container in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes to soften the wax before use.

Uneven finish or streaks

Ensure the wax is applied thinly and evenly. Buff off all excess thoroughly with a clean cloth. Apply a second thin coat if needed after the first has dried.

Wood still looks dry after application

The wood may be highly absorbent. Apply a second, thin coat of wax, allowing for better penetration. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of sealants.

Sticky residue after buffing

Too much wax was applied, or not enough was buffed off. Use a clean cloth with a little solvent (as recommended by manufacturer for wax removal) to gently lift sticky areas, then re-buff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or old finishes. If the product has thickened due to cold weather, stand the container in a bowl of hot water for approximately 5 minutes until it softens.

Application: Apply Liberon Beeswax Liquid thinly and evenly using a clean, lint-free cloth or a brush. Work in the direction of the wood grain. Allow it to penetrate the wood for a few minutes, then buff off any excess with a clean cloth. For a higher sheen, apply a second thin coat after the first has dried and buff again.

Compatibility: This product is suitable for use on most absorbent, unsealed hard and soft woods. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results.

Care: Regular dusting with a soft cloth is recommended. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Reapplication may be needed periodically, depending on use and environmental conditions.
