FAQs
What is the coverage rate of Liberon Easy French Polish?
The product provides coverage of approximately 8-10m² per litre, but it is best suited for small surfaces of 1m² or less for optimal results.
Can this polish be used on exterior wood?
No, Liberon Easy French Polish is best suited for interior use only.
How long does it take for a coat to dry?
Each coat typically dries in 3-4 hours, depending on ambient conditions.
What kind of wood is this polish ideal for?
It is ideal for furniture, carved woodwork, and artifacts, particularly those made from rare or exotic woods where a natural effect is desired.
How should I clean my brushes after use?
Brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately after use with methylated spirit.
Can I use this on already finished furniture?
Yes, provided the old finish is sound. Clean the surface thoroughly and apply thin coats. If the old finish is damaged or incompatible, it may need to be removed first.
What should I do if I get brush marks?
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. If brush marks are present once dry, you can lightly sand them down with very fine grit sandpaper and apply another thin coat.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thinner coats and ensure the brush is not overloaded. Maintain a consistent application direction. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Finish appears cloudy or milky
This can indicate moisture trapped in the finish. Ensure the surface and atmosphere are dry during application and drying. Allow more time for each coat to cure fully.
Polish is not drying properly
Check ambient temperature and humidity; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure coats are thin enough. Avoid applying over incompatible finishes.
Difficulty in achieving a smooth surface
Lightly de-nib between coats with very fine sandpaper (e.g., 400-grit or higher) after the finish is completely dry. Ensure the surface was adequately prepared before the first coat.
