FAQs
What is the coverage rate for this product?
The coverage is approximately 10-12m² per litre, making it an efficient choice for various wood care needs.
Can I use this on a previously varnished surface?
This product is best suited for unsealed or stripped wood. If you wish to apply it over a varnish, the varnish must be lightly sanded and degreased, or ideally, removed for best results and adhesion.
How long does it take for the paste to dry?
A minimum drying time of 1 hour is recommended per coat. Ensure the surface is dry and no longer hazy before buffing or applying subsequent coats.
Is this product safe for use on children's toys?
Yes, the Liberon Clear Beeswax Paste is EN71 Part 3 certified, making it safe for use on surfaces that may come into contact with children, including toys.
How should I clean my tools after using the beeswax paste?
Tools such as cloths and steel wool should be cleaned immediately after use with white spirit. Ensure good ventilation when using white spirit.
What type of wood is this product best for?
It is particularly ideal for nourishing absorbent woods such as pine and oak, especially when they are unsealed or have been stripped.
Can I achieve a high-gloss finish with this product?
Liberon Clear Beeswax Paste provides a natural, authentic sheen rather than a high-gloss finish. For a higher sheen, buffing can enhance the luster, but it is a wax finish, which is typically softer and more natural.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or haziness after application
This can occur if too much paste was applied or if it was not buffed sufficiently. Ensure a thin, even coat is applied and buff thoroughly with a clean cloth until the desired sheen is achieved. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Wood still feels dry or rough
The wood may be extremely absorbent or require more nourishment. Apply a second, thin coat of the beeswax paste, ensuring it dries completely before buffing. For severely dry wood, consider a specific Liberon wood oil before applying wax.
Difficulty in buffing to a sheen
This might be due to the paste being too thick or not given enough drying time. Ensure you apply a thin layer and allow at least one hour for drying. Using a clean, soft buffing cloth is crucial; a worn-out cloth may not produce a good result.
Product seems difficult to spread
In cooler temperatures, the paste can become firmer. Try warming the tin slightly by placing it in a warm (not hot) water bath for a few minutes. Alternatively, apply a small amount to the cloth and rub it between your hands to soften before applying to the wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application:
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or old finishes. If applying over old finishes, ensure they are well-adhered or consider stripping the surface first.
Apply a small amount of Liberon Clear Beeswax Paste to a clean, lint-free cloth or fine steel wool.
Rub the paste evenly into the wood surface, working in the direction of the wood grain.
Allow the paste to dry for a minimum of 1 hour. The surface may appear hazy.
Buff the surface with a clean, soft cloth or a buffing machine to achieve a gentle sheen.
For very absorbent woods or to achieve a richer finish, a second application may be beneficial after the first coat has dried.
