How to Use Chestnut Wood Wax 22

For the best results, ensure the timber is clean, dry and properly prepared before applying the wax.

1. Prepare the timber by sanding it smooth.
2. Remove all sanding dust.
3. Apply a suitable sanding sealer if required.
4. Allow the sealer to dry thoroughly.
5. Apply a thin coat of Chestnut WoodWax 22.
6. Allow the wax to dry for a few minutes.
7. Buff the surface using a clean, soft cloth.
8. Continue buffing until the desired sheen is achieved.

Use Wood Wax 22 sparingly. A thin, even application is generally easier to buff and produces a better result than applying a heavy coat.

Applying Wood Wax 22 to Bare Wood

Chestnut Wood Wax 22 can be applied directly to suitable bare timber. However, using a sanding sealer first can provide a better foundation for the wax and help reduce the amount of wax absorbed into the wood.

For the smoothest finish, sand the timber thoroughly and remove all dust before applying the wax.

A suitable sanding sealer can help seal the open pores of the timber, allowing more of the wax to remain on the surface where it can be buffed.

Using Wood Wax 22 Over Sanding Sealer

Chestnut Wood Wax 22 works particularly well over Chestnut Cellulose Sanding Sealer.

The sanding sealer provides a smooth foundation for the wax, helping to reduce absorption and making it easier to achieve an even finish.

Once the sanding sealer is dry, lightly smooth the surface if required, remove any dust and apply the WoodWax 22 thinly.

Buffing Chestnut WoodWax 22

One of the main advantages of Chestnut Wood Wax 22 is its quick drying time. Once the wax has dried, it can be buffed to develop its characteristic sheen.

Use a clean, soft cloth or wax buffing cloth and work evenly over the surface. For turned items, the wax can also be buffed while the item is rotating on a suitable lathe, using appropriate workshop safety precautions.

Avoid applying excessive pressure or too much wax. Thin coats are easier to buff and generally produce a more attractive result.

Wood Wax 22 vs Microcrystalline Wax

Chestnut Wood Wax 22 and Chestnut Microcrystalline Wax are both suitable for finishing timber, but they have different characteristics.

Wood Wax 22 is particularly attractive when quick drying and ease of application are important. It contains natural beeswax and carnauba wax and can be buffed within minutes.

Microcrystalline Wax provides a tougher and more water-resistant finish and is better suited to projects where increased durability and resistance to handling are important.

The trade-off is that Microcrystalline Wax takes longer to dry and is generally more expensive than WoodWax 22.

For a quick, attractive traditional wax finish, Wood Wax 22 is an excellent choice.
