FAQs

What is the coverage rate of Liberon Black Bison Wax Paste?

The typical coverage is between 10-12 square meters per litre, depending on the porosity of the wood and the application method.

Can I use this wax on bare, unfinished wood?

While it can be applied to bare wood, it is recommended to prepare the surface first. For best results, consider using a wood conditioner or sealer prior to waxing on raw timber.

How should I clean my tools after using this wax?

Tools such as brushes and steel wool should be cleaned immediately after use with White Spirit.

Is this product suitable for outdoor furniture?

No, Liberon Black Bison Wax Paste is designed for interior use only and will not provide adequate protection against weather elements.

How long does the wax need to dry before buffing?

The wax should be allowed to dry for at least 20 minutes, or until it feels touch-dry, before buffing.

Will this wax change the color of my wood significantly?

The Walnut variant will impart a subtle warm tone, enhancing the natural color of the wood. It is designed to complement the wood's existing beauty rather than drastically alter it.

Can I apply a varnish over this wax finish?

It is generally not recommended to apply modern finishes like varnish directly over a wax finish, as the wax can prevent proper adhesion. The product is silicone-free, which helps if you plan to re-wax or apply certain compatible finishes later.

Troubleshooting

Wax appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure the wax was applied in a thin, even coat. Buffing may not have been sufficient. Try buffing again with a clean, soft cloth. If severe, gently remove the excess with White Spirit on a cloth, allow to dry, and reapply.

Surface feels tacky after application.

The wax may not have had enough time to dry fully, or too thick a coat was applied. Allow more drying time. If necessary, gently buff with White Spirit on a cloth to remove tackiness, let it dry, and buff again.

Finish does not appear sufficiently lustrous.

Buff more vigorously with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure the surface is completely dry before buffing. A second coat of wax may be beneficial for a deeper shine.

Water marks or finger prints still appear easily.

Ensure adequate drying and buffing time was given to the final coat. For increased protection, consider a second coat of wax or a different type of protective finish if extreme durability is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old, flaky finishes. If applying to bare wood, consider pre-treating with a suitable Liberon wood conditioner or sealer for best results.

Application:

  1. Apply a thin, even layer of wax paste using a clean, lint-free cloth, brush, or fine steel wool (000 or 0000 grade).
  2. Work the wax into the wood, following the grain.
  3. Allow the wax to dry for at least 20 minutes. The surface should feel touch-dry.
  4. Buff the surface vigorously with a clean, soft cloth or a buffing machine to achieve a high sheen.
  5. A second coat can be applied for extra protection and depth of color, following the same drying and buffing process.

Compatibility: Suitable for all types of wood, including lacquers and French polishes. Safe for use on toys and is silicone-free, making it compatible with future treatments.

Care: To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning or re-waxing, apply a fresh coat of Liberon Black Bison Wax Paste as needed.
