FAQs
What type of wood is Liberon Beeswax Liquid best for?
It is ideal for nourishing absorbent woods such as pine and oak, especially unsealed woods. It is suitable for both hard and soft woods.
Can I use this product in my bathroom or kitchen?
No, it is not suitable for high water areas such as kitchens and bathrooms due to its protective properties being best suited for drier interior environments.
What should I do if the wax is too thick to use?
If the wax has thickened due to cold weather, simply stand the container in a bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes. This will soften it for easy application.
How should I apply the beeswax liquid?
Apply with a clean, lint-free cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Allow it to penetrate for 5-10 minutes, then buff off any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
Is this product safe for children's toys?
Yes, Liberon Beeswax Liquid is EN 71 Part 3 approved, making it safe for use on wooden toys.
Can I use this on sealed wood?
While it is primarily designed for unsealed woods, it can be used on lightly sealed surfaces. However, it is most effective at nourishing and protecting deeply absorbent, unfinished wood.
How often should I reapply the beeswax?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the use and environment of the wood. For frequently used items or areas, reapplication might be needed every 6-12 months. For less used items, it could last longer.
Troubleshooting
Wax has thickened and is difficult to apply.
Stand the container in a bowl of hot water for approximately 5 minutes to gently warm and liquefy the wax before application.
Uneven or patchy finish after application.
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Apply in thin, even coats and buff off excess thoroughly. Reapply a thin coat if necessary, ensuring even coverage.
Wood still feels dry after application.
The wood may be extremely absorbent. Apply a second, thin coat of beeswax liquid, allowing adequate penetration time before buffing.
Residue left on the surface after buffing.
Too much wax may have been applied. Buff more vigorously with a clean, dry cloth to remove all excess. Ensure subsequent coats are applied more thinly.
