How to use Fiddes Mellow Wax

1. For best results, we recommend cleaning the surface using Priory Polish Reviver before use as this will give you the best results, as it will clean and add depth to the colour of your wood.
2. Take a clean cotton cloth (Priory Polishes Fine Cotton Wax Buffing Cloth is ideal) or brush and apply in the direction of the wood grain where possible. To obtain a uniform colour, always wipe evenly, blending the Mellow Wax over the whole surface area by exerting a small degree of pressure when applying by hand. Take care to lightly remove any excess Mellow Wax immediately with a separate, clean absorbent cloth. Again following the direction of the grain pattern.
3. Leave to dry for around 10 minutes, and buff to finish with a soft cloth.
4. The application of additional coats will deepen the existing colour / shade and significantly enhance the resulting sheen level.

Questions and Answers

Can Fiddes Mellow Wax be applied on top of an original antique finish?

Yes, Fiddes Mellow wax is ideal for use on antiques as it contains a high beeswax content so is perfect to enhance patina and create a Richer colour.

What kind of finish will this wood wax create?

Fiddes Mellow Wax will create a nice rich sheen if applied correctly. It is best to apply thin coats and always buff off any excess between coats. We recommend the minimum of 2 coats but the more coats of wax added will increase the sheen level. If the surface is very dirty, we highly recommend cleaning the wood first using Priory Polishes Polish Reviver. 

Will this wax create a Waterproof finish?

Fiddes Mellow Wax is for use to maintain and improve the existing finish on wood, especially antique furniture. It will not create a waterproof or heat proof finish. If you want a more resistant finish then Fiddes Hard Wax Oil is a better option but this can only be applied to bare unfinished wood.
