Liberon Easy French Polish is a shellac and resin-blended French polish designed to provide a beautiful, natural-looking finish on furniture and wooden surfaces.
It is particularly suitable for furniture, carved woodwork and artefacts in rare or exotic woods, and is an excellent choice for smaller restoration projects. It is also designed to be easier to use than traditional French polishing methods, making it a popular choice for beginners and furniture restorers.
Liberon Easy French Polish is ideal for:
The polish is supplied clear, helping to enhance the natural appearance and grain of the timber.
For a full and comprehensive guide to French polishing please see our article here.
For the below example, we used easy French polish on an Antique Victorian Card Table.
1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and bare. Remove any finish with Wood Stripper. Use a scraper and coarse steel wool to remove the previous finish. Once all the old polish has been removed, neutralise using Liberon Wax and Polish Remover. Leave to fully dry and then sand with extra fine sanding paper. Remove all dust with a cloth. For further information on stripping wood, please see our guide here.
2. If required, stain the surface using either Liberon Spirit Wood Dye or Liberon Palette Wood Dye over the surface to achieve the desired colour. Once the stain is fully dry, using a good quality French Polishing Brush apply a thin coat of Liberon Easy French Polish, always in the direction of the grain and avoid overlapping between strokes.
3. Allow a drying time of around four hours between coats.
4. Gently rub down the dried coat using our Ultra Fine Steel Wool (Grade 0000) for a smooth surface and use a cloth to remove all dust.
5. Apply as many coats as necessary, following the same instructions. Three to four coats are usually sufficient to achieve a quality finish but more can be added to create your desired sheen.
6. For a higher gloss finish we recommend to use Liberon Burnishing Cream or our Polish Reviver. This will produce a superb sheen to your finish. Before applying the Burnishing Cream, ensure there is a good build of polish and leave the final coat of your polish to dry for at least seven days to cure to a hard finish. You can lightly wire wool using 0000 fine steel wool to flatten the surface before use.
For best results, apply French Polish in a warm, clean and dust-free environment. Always test the product on a spare piece or inconspicuous area first.
Liberon Easy French Polish is ideal for furniture restoration, particularly when working on small to medium-sized pieces where you want to enhance the natural beauty of the timber.
It can provide a smooth, attractive finish while allowing the natural character and grain of the wood to remain visible.
For an even higher gloss finish, Liberon Burnishing Cream can be used once the final coat has fully hardened.
It is used to finish and enhance wooden furniture, carved woodwork and decorative wooden objects, particularly smaller restoration projects.
Yes. It is designed as an easier-to-use French polish and is particularly suitable for beginners in furniture restoration and polishing. It will beautifully enhance the natural finish in your wood and produce a beautiful sheen with ease. You can see magnificent results very quickly, especially on furniture with decorative detailing. Easy French Polish is suitable on all woods (especially antique furniture and clocks) and it creates a clear, natural finish on your timber.
Three to four coats are usually sufficient to achieve a quality finish, although additional coats can be applied if required.
Allow approximately 3–4 hours between coats.
Clean brushes and other suitable tools with methylated spirit.
It is particularly recommended for small to medium-sized pieces. The 250ml size covers approximately 2–3m².
For best results using easy French Polish, apply on small to medium sized pieces of furniture as it does dry quickly.
We recommend to practice on small areas before applying onto larger surfaces.
Always do a test a small area before starting any project to ensure you are happy with the colour and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
For best results always finish with a good quality Wood Wax as this will further enhance the finish and add a layer of protection to your furniture.
