FAQs
Can I use this wax paste on painted furniture?
While it can be used on some painted surfaces, it is primarily designed for wood. Test on an inconspicuous area first. It is not recommended for distressed or chalk paint finishes without proper sealing.
What is the coverage rate of the Liberon Black Bison Wax Paste?
The coverage is approximately 10-12 square meters per liter, depending on the porosity of the wood and the thickness of the application.
How long does the wax take to dry?
The minimum dry time is 20 minutes. However, for best results, allow ample time for curing, especially before applying subsequent coats or using the furniture heavily.
Is this product suitable for tabletops or high-wear surfaces?
Yes, it provides good protection, but for very high-wear surfaces like kitchen worktops, frequent reapplication may be necessary. Consider a more robust finish if extreme durability is required.
Can I use this on exterior wood?
No, this product is strictly for interior use only. It will not withstand exposure to weather elements.
How do I clean tools after using the wax?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with Liberon White Spirit.
Will this wax change the color of my wood?
The Tudor Oak shade will impart a warm, slightly tinted tone to the wood. It enhances the natural color rather than drastically altering it. Always test on a small area first to see the effect on your specific wood type.
Troubleshooting
Wax appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure the wax was applied in a thin, even coat. Buff thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth after drying. If streaks persist, you may need to lightly sand with fine steel wool and reapply a thinner coat.
Surface remains tacky after drying.
This usually indicates the wax was applied too thickly or there isn't enough ventilation. Try buffing more vigorously or applying a very thin coat of a suitable solvent (like White Spirit) and buffing it off. Ensure adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
Lack of shine after buffing.
The surface may not have been buffed vigorously enough, or a second coat is needed. Ensure you are using a clean, soft buffing cloth and buff in firm, circular motions until the desired sheen is achieved. A second thin coat may enhance the shine.
Water marks reappear quickly.
The protective layer may be too thin. Apply a second or even a third thin coat of wax, ensuring adequate drying time between coats. Regular reapplication will maintain protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from old finishes or contaminants. Apply a thin, even coat using a soft cloth, brush, or fine steel wool in the direction of the wood grain. Allow a minimum of 20 minutes for the wax to dry. Buff with a clean, soft cloth to achieve a high sheen. For heavily worn areas or to fill scratches, apply a second coat after the first has dried.
Compatibility: Ideal for all types of wood, including those with existing lacquers, French polishes, and raw wood finishes. It is safe for use on children's toys. Avoid use on exterior surfaces or in areas of high moisture.
Care: Clean tools immediately after use with Liberon White Spirit. Store the wax paste in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Periodically reapply the wax to maintain protection and appearance.
