Fiddes Hard Wax Oil in Satin finish (2.5L) is designed for homeowners seeking superior protection and a natural look for interior wood surfaces, particularly high-traffic areas like flooring and kitchen worktops. Its primary benefit is providing exceptional durability and water resistance with an easy-to-apply, quick-drying satin finish. A potential caveat is the need for proper surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.

For most applications, two to three thin coats are recommended. High-traffic areas like flooring or kitchen worktops may benefit from three coats for maximum durability.
It is best applied to bare, unfinished wood. If applying over existing finishes, ensure they are compatible or thoroughly removed. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Drying time is typically 4-6 hours, but this can vary depending on humidity and temperature. Ensure the surface is dry to the touch before applying the next coat.
No, this product is specifically designed for interior wood surfaces and is not suitable for exterior applications.
Clean spills immediately. Use a damp cloth for regular cleaning. Reapply a thin coat of the oil annually or as needed to refresh and protect the surface.
This product provides a satin finish. For a gloss finish, you would need to use a different product or a dedicated gloss topcoat, though compatibility should be tested.
Yes, Fiddes Hard Wax Oil has EN 71-toy safety certification, making it safe for use on wooden toys and surfaces that children may come into contact with.
Ensure the oil was applied evenly and wiped off any excess thoroughly. If the issue persists after drying, lightly sand the affected area and reapply a thin, even coat.
This usually indicates too much oil was applied or excess was not wiped off. Allow more drying time in a well-ventilated area. If still sticky, lightly buff with a clean cloth or steel wool (0000 grade) and ensure no excess remains.
The surface may require an additional coat of hard wax oil for sufficient protection. Ensure the previous coats were fully cured before reapplication.
Fiddes Hard Wax Oil enhances the natural color of the wood. For a lighter appearance, consider alternative finishes or ensure the wood was properly prepared and any existing stains or finishes were removed.
Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. Sand the surface smooth, starting with a medium grit sandpaper and finishing with a fine grit (e.g., 180-240 grit). Wipe away all dust.
Compatibility: Suitable for all types of natural interior wood, including hardwood and softwood flooring, kitchen worktops, furniture, doors, and children's toys. It is not recommended for exterior use or for surfaces that will be submerged in water.
Care: Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For routine cleaning, use a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water. To maintain the finish, reapply a thin coat of Fiddes Hard Wax Oil annually or as needed, especially in high-traffic areas. Ensure the product is fully dry before allowing heavy use.
