Fiddes Liming Paste – 1KG

Description

Fiddes Liming Paste is used to create a ‘white wash effect’ usually on Oak and Pine woods. Fiddes Liming paste is water based quick drying and very easy to use. It is used to create a traditional white Limed finish on woods with an open grain as the white paste sits in the pores of the wood. This can then be left for a pale finish or over-coated with a Hard wax oil, Lacquer, Wax or White Shellac polish.

How to use Fiddes Liming Paste

For a full guide on liming furniture please see our article here.

1. The wood needs to be bare, clean, dry and free from any previous coatings. Strip off any old finishes with a stripper like Strypit.
2. Open the grain as much as possible using a wire brush
3. Apply the Liming paste liberally with a lint free cloth in circular motions, working the paste into the grain.
4. Use a dry buffing cloth to remove the excess in the direction of the grain. A slightly damp cloth can be used if necessary.
5. More coats can be added if required.
6. Once complete, you can leave as a white wash effect or seal using a Hard wax oil, Lacquer, Wax or White Shellac polish.
