It is particularly effective on oak and similar timbers. This wax is most effective when applied directly onto the bare wood for a deep white colouring, but for an even effect, it can be applied onto stained and sealed surfaces. Some woods will benefit from opening the grain with a wire brush. Liming Wax can be overcoated with Clear Briwax for a more durable finish. Size: 220g. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from any previous finishes.
