Liberon Garnet Polish is used to create an aged effect on dark woods. It's ideal for antique restoration and for completely obscuring the wood grain to achieve a uniform, darkened finish.
While it will darken all types of wood, it is specifically formulated for dark woods to create an aged effect. On lighter woods, the result might be a very dark, opaque finish that may not be the desired outcome.
It can be applied with a French Polishing mop or with a rubber, following traditional French Polishing techniques for best results.
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or old finishes. Sand if necessary to create a smooth surface.
The number of coats depends on the desired depth of color and finish. It is typically applied in thin, successive coats until the desired effect is achieved.
Drying time varies based on humidity and temperature, but generally, allow sufficient time for the coat to feel dry to the touch before applying the next, usually several hours.
Dust regularly with a soft cloth. For cleaning, use a specialized wood cleaner or polish designed for French polished finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.
Ensure consistent application technique and adequate ventilation. Thin the polish slightly if necessary and apply in very thin coats. Make sure the applicator is evenly loaded.
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area and maintain a consistent room temperature. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this will increase drying time.
This is often caused by moisture in the air. Ensure good ventilation and a stable temperature during application and drying. You may need to reapply very thin coats with a drier rubber.
Application: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Apply Liberon Garnet Polish using a French polishing mop or rubber in accordance with traditional French Polishing techniques. Work in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry sufficiently before applying the next. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area, away from dust.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on dark wood species. It is ideal for antique restoration and can be used on various wooden items where a dark, aged finish is desired. It is not recommended for use on light-colored woods if the intention is to retain their natural hue.
Care: To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or to refresh the finish, use a specialized wood polish suitable for French polished surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the finish.
