FAQs
What type of wood is this beeswax paste best for?
It is ideal for unfinished, absorbent woods such as pine and oak. It nourishes and protects these types of woods effectively.
Can I use this beeswax paste on exterior wood?
No, this product is recommended for interior applications only. It is designed to protect wood from typical indoor environmental conditions.
How long does it take for the wax to dry?
A minimum drying time of 1 hour is recommended after application before buffing or further handling.
Is this product safe for children's toys?
Yes, Liberon Beeswax Paste is EN71 Part 3 approved, making it safe for use on wooden toys and items that children may come into contact with.
How do I clean my tools after using the beeswax paste?
Tools such as cloths and steel wool should be cleaned with white spirit immediately after use to remove any wax residue.
What is the coverage rate for this product?
A 500ml tin of Liberon Beeswax Paste typically covers approximately 10-12 square meters, depending on the absorbency of the wood.
How often should I reapply the beeswax paste?
The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and environmental conditions. Reapply whenever the wood begins to look dry or loses its protective sheen, typically every 6-12 months for regular use items.
Troubleshooting
Wax is too hard to apply
Warm the tin slightly in a warm water bath or by placing it in a warm room for a short period. Alternatively, apply a very small amount of white spirit to the surface of the wax to soften it before application.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. If streaks appear, buff more vigorously with a clean cloth once the wax has dried. You may need to apply a second thin coat.
Surface feels sticky after application
This indicates too much wax was applied or it was not allowed to dry/buff properly. Buff the surface with a clean, dry cloth. If the problem persists, you may need to remove the excess wax with a cloth slightly dampened with white spirit and reapply a thinner coat.
Wood still appears dry
The wood may be exceptionally absorbent or require more nourishment. Apply a second or third thin coat of beeswax paste, allowing adequate drying time between applications. Ensure the product is suitable for the specific type of wood.
