FAQs

What type of wood is this beeswax paste best suited for?

It is ideal for absorbent woods like pine and oak, especially those with unsealed finishes. It works well on both hard and soft woods.

How long does the wax need to dry before I can use the furniture?

A minimum drying time of 1 hour is recommended. For optimal results and protection, allow longer if possible before heavy use.

Is this product safe for use on wooden toys?

Yes, Liberon Beeswax Paste is EN71 Part 3 certified, making it safe for use on toys and children's furniture.

How do I clean my tools after using the beeswax paste?

Tools such as cloths or steel wool used for application can be cleaned effectively with white spirit.

What is the coverage rate of this product?

The coverage is approximately 10-12 square meters per liter.

Can I use this on a varnished surface?

This product is best for unsealed woods. Using it on heavily varnished or sealed surfaces may result in poor adhesion or an uneven finish. Surface preparation is key if attempting on non-ideal surfaces.

How often should I reapply the beeswax paste?

Reapplication frequency depends on the item's use and environment. Typically, reapply when the wood starts to look dry or the protective sheen diminishes, which could be every 6-12 months for regularly used items.

Troubleshooting

Wax is difficult to apply or spread evenly.

Ensure the paste is at room temperature. If too hard, warm the tin slightly in a bowl of warm water (do not overheat). Apply with a softer cloth or lighter pressure.

Surface appears sticky or tacky after application.

Too much wax may have been applied. Buff vigorously with a clean, soft cloth to remove excess. Allow more drying time in a well-ventilated area.

Wood finish looks dull or lacks sheen.

The surface may require more buffing. Use a clean, dry, soft cloth and buff with firm, circular motions. A second light application of wax followed by buffing may also help.

White marks or residue visible on dark wood.

This can be 'blooming', often caused by too much wax or insufficient buffing. Buff the area with a clean cloth. If persistent, use a cloth slightly dampened with white spirit to gently remove the residue, then re-buff.
