FAQs
Can I use Fiddes Mellow Wax on raw wood?
No, this product is designed for wood that has already been sealed or previously polished.
Does this wax provide a waterproof finish?
It provides a protective barrier against moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof seal. Avoid standing water on waxed surfaces.
How often should I reapply the wax?
Reapplication depends on usage. For furniture, once or twice a year is usually sufficient, while high-traffic flooring may require more frequent maintenance.
Is this product safe for food contact surfaces?
No, this wax is formulated for furniture and woodwork and is not intended for surfaces used for food preparation or service.
How do I choose the right shade?
Select a shade that matches the existing color of your wood. If you are unsure, test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
The wax finish appears cloudy or dull.
The wax may not have been buffed sufficiently. Ensure you use a clean, soft cloth and buff with moderate pressure until the surface clarity returns.
The finish feels tacky hours after application.
You have likely applied too much wax. Wipe away the excess with a clean cloth and buff the remaining thin layer thoroughly.
Surface color looks uneven.
This often happens if the wax was applied to an unevenly sealed surface or if too much pigment accumulated in low spots. Clean the area with a wax remover and reapply a thinner, more controlled layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. As this product is a finishing wax, the surface should already be sealed or previously polished; applying it to raw wood may lead to uneven absorption and a patchy appearance.
- Use a lint-free cotton cloth or very fine grade steel wool to apply the wax in a circular motion.
- Allow the wax to sit until the surface feels slightly tacky, usually within 10-15 minutes.
- Buff the surface briskly with a clean, soft cloth or a dedicated wax polishing brush to achieve the desired sheen.
- Reapply periodically to maintain the protective layer in high-traffic areas.
Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the wax from hardening, and store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
