Product Information

Normally, unlike sealers, wax can wear away easily, or rather it can be cleaned off. As a result of this, to ensure that wax seals the wood, it requires to be recoated periodically due to any abrasion, wear, or dissolving that would be done by a cleaner on the wax. One of the key selling points of beeswax is that it is one of the fastest-acting wood treatments around, which means that it’s great for all of your time-sensitive projects. It’s also really easy to use, which means you won’t have to go through lots of trial and error with scrap pieces of wood. If you have over or underapplied your beeswax errors are really easy to correct, which makes it the ideal wood treatment for beginners and kids.

Unfortunately, this also makes the wax attract dust and dirt, so you will need to clean and polish waxed surfaces more regularly. When to use beeswax and when to use polyurethane? When the beeswax is applied for the first time on wooden furniture you must give it at least two to three coats. Wait for about three to four hours before applying the next coat. One reason beeswax makes an excellent protective coating is that it can penetrate through different wood layers. It’s a quality that you won’t get from other coatings. However, if the time comes that you want to remove it for a reapplication, it’ll be more challenging because it’s penetrated deep into the wood. You’d need to exert more effort in the long-run to keep your furniture looking fresh and shiny if you were to use beeswax. Not As Durable As Other Finishing Options To begin with, start with 1 part of Beeswax together with 3 parts of olive oil. Therefore, if it is just 1 cup of the beeswax finish, you will use Beeswax on a ¼ the whole mixture while olive oil takes the rest of ¾.Beeswax is an excellent wood finish when you need something that is non-toxic, food-safe and doesn’t need to be highly waterproof or durable. It transforms the dry, dry, and surfaces damaged by the sun to have a naturally smooth finish and surface. This, as a result, makes your furniture to be attractive on the eye. This is in comparison to other varnish made from resin, which leads to the hard and dry wood finish. High Durability Beeswax can make it much easier for you because you only need a piece of cloth to apply it. Wiping your furniture with a cloth that has beeswax should suffice as a protective layer. You don’t need to have the skills to balance out the strokes for the brush that you’re using, which is a common issue that you’ll experience, especially if you’re using varnish. Provides Some Water and Scratch Resistance Beeswax contains high-carbon paraffin, which protects and seals the wood surface from sunlight and moisture. This, therefore, increases the durability of your furniture without getting destroyed from the extreme condition. Wait for it to dry and now take a dry cloth and buff it off. This will give the wood surface a beautiful dull yellow leathery finish.

As we have seen, beeswax is a great product to use to give your wood a wax finish. It’s natural, cheap, has no use-by date, easy to apply, and beatifies wood by giving it a natural shine. It can also be applied to all types of wood and if needed, can easily be removed as well. However, with beeswax, you can rest assured that it is kind to the environment and won’t leave behind any toxic residue. The most commonly used wax for handicrafts in wooden furniture is beeswax, also called virgin wax. However, not all beeswax are the same. One of the most important things making Beeswax good for furniture compared to most of the other finishes is the fact that it is a natural finish, unlike most finishes and varnishes.Keep in mind that beeswax is only water-resistant and not completely waterproof, which means that the level of protection is quite mild. For waterproof finishes, it’s better to go with a resin topcoat or a polyurethane finish. 3. Nourishes The Wood/Adds Beautiful Shine To Grain

Wondering what waxing does to wooden surfaces? Well, Beeswax wood polish was initially designed primarily as means of protecting wooden surfaces from things like impact, abrasion, moisture, ambient heat, and even insects. When applied to wood, beeswax creates a coating that eventually hardens to create the aforementioned protective layer. It doesn’t stop there though, beeswax then seeps deep into the fibers of the wood and bonds with it, to ensure both interior and exterior protection. It’s not hard to reapply beeswax since you don’t have to completely remove the previous layer. However, having to reapply the protection once every few weeks – depending on how regularly you use your wooden item – can be a hassle.A word of caution: beeswax only makes your furniture slightly more resistant to water and scratch. It doesn’t mean that you can submerge it underwater or scratch it with sharp objects. What it does is give you a bit more time to deal with spillage or prevent accidental scratches from causing permanent damage to the wood. Environment-Friendly
