FAQs
Can I use Liberon Pure Beeswax on food-contact surfaces?
This product is primarily intended for furniture and wood maintenance. Please check local regulations or specific food-safe certification labels before using on items like cutting boards.
What is the recommended ratio for making polish?
The recommended mix ratio is 25ml of beeswax to 25ml of pure turpentine.
Does this wax change the color of the wood?
As a natural wax, it typically enhances the wood's existing color and grain pattern without adding artificial stains.
How long does the polish take to dry?
Drying time depends on the ambient temperature and humidity, but it generally sets within a few hours, after which it should be buffed.
Can I use this on outdoor furniture?
Beeswax is best suited for indoor furniture. It may not provide adequate protection against harsh weather or UV exposure for outdoor wood.
Is this product suitable for antique restoration?
Yes, its natural composition is highly favored by restorers for its ability to preserve antique timber without modern synthetic chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Wax is too hard to apply directly
If using as a lubricant, try warming the wood surface slightly or shaving off small amounts to rub into the area.
Polish mixture is too thick
Add a small additional amount of pure turpentine to the mixture to thin the consistency to your desired level.
Surface feels sticky after application
This often indicates too much product was applied; use a clean, dry lint-free cloth to buff the surface until the excess is removed and the finish is smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare a standard furniture polish, use a ratio of 25ml of beeswax to 25ml of pure turpentine. Always work in a well-ventilated area when mixing with solvents. When applying to wood, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or existing heavy wax coatings. Store the block in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources to prevent the wax from softening or losing its shape. To maintain the life of your furniture, periodic application is recommended, especially in environments with low humidity where wood is prone to drying out.
