Product Information
Full details
The Briwax Spray Wax is designed for users looking to quickly and easily enhance and protect interior wood surfaces, particularly antique reproductions and hardwoods. Its key benefit is providing a silky smooth feel and a semi-gloss finish with minimal effort. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for interior wood applications and may not offer the same durability as traditional paste waxes for high-traffic areas.

FAQs
Can I use Briwax Spray Wax on exterior wood?
No, Briwax Spray Wax is formulated for interior wood applications only. It does not offer the necessary protection against weather and moisture for exterior use.
How often should I reapply Briwax Spray Wax?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and environment. For furniture, reapplying every 6-12 months or when the sheen dulls is generally recommended. For tool protection, apply as needed.
Will this product work on painted surfaces?
Briwax Spray Wax is designed for bare or finished wood. It is not recommended for use on painted surfaces as it may affect the paint's integrity or finish.
Does it contain silicone?
No, Briwax Spray Wax is free from surfactants, soaps, and silicones, relying purely on the properties of high-quality waxes.
What is the difference between Briwax Spray and Briwax Paste Wax?
Briwax Spray offers quick and easy application with a semi-gloss finish suitable for general enhancement and protection. Briwax Paste Wax typically offers a deeper, more durable finish and is applied by hand, often preferred for more intensive restoration or higher-traffic surfaces.
How do I clean the nozzle if it gets blocked?
To clear a blocked nozzle, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant is emitted. If still blocked, you may need to gently clear any visible obstruction with a fine pin, being careful not to damage the nozzle.
Can this be used on flooring?
While it can be used on wood, it's not specifically designed as a floor finish. For wooden floors, traditional paste waxes or specialized floor polishes are generally recommended for better durability and slip resistance.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly before and during use. Apply in light, even coats and buff gently with a soft cloth after allowing it to dry briefly. Avoid spraying too close to the surface.
Product not spraying properly
Check that the nozzle is not blocked. Invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear any residue. Ensure the can is at room temperature.
Wood appears dull after application
The surface may need more buffing. Use a clean, dry, soft cloth and buff in circular motions until the desired shine is achieved. For raw timber, a second coat might be beneficial.
Sticky residue after drying
Too much product may have been applied, or it wasn't buffed sufficiently. Buff again with a clean, dry cloth. If the residue persists, a very light application of the spray followed by thorough buffing may help, or for stubborn residue, gentle cleaning with a wax remover might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from dust or old, flaking finishes. Shake the can vigorously before use. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Hold the can approximately 6-8 inches from the surface and spray evenly. For best results, allow the product to dry for a few minutes before buffing with a soft, clean cloth. For new timber, a second coat can be applied after buffing the first.
Compatibility: Suitable for all interior wood types, including hardwoods (teak, oak, mahogany, walnut) and softwoods. Can be used on antique reproduction finishes, regular furniture, raw timber, and previously finished wood. Also safe for protecting metal woodworking tools.
Care: Keep the can away from heat and direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place. After use, clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until only propellant emerges.
