Questions and Answers
Can I use Colron Beeswax natural on my oak worktop?
Colron beeswax natural is not suitable for kitchen worktops as it does not offer a water resistant finish so will mark very easily. The best finish for a wood worktop would be a Hardwax oil and if you are looking for a natural or tinted finish, Osmo offers a product called top oil. This comes in a Satin, Matt, Natural or coloured tinted finish and is water and heat resistant.
Does Colron offer a liquid beeswax in medium oak?
Colron refined beeswax is only available in a paste form in the colour medium Oak. The only available colron beeswax that comes in a liquid form is Colron wax polish in clear. As this is in a liquid form, it is easy to use to clean and revive interior wood furniture that has been previously finished. The paste wax works better on unfinished wood to build up a nice sheen.
Is Colron refined Jacobean dark oak a matt finish?
Colron beeswax Jacobean dark oak can be applied with just one coat to create a matt finish. You can then build up the sheen by adding more thin coats and buffing up between coats. The more layers you apply and buff up will result in a higher sheen. This way you can decide if you want to keep the wood a natural matt sheen or build this up to more of a high sheen.
