Liberon Beeswax with Pure Turpentine – 500ml

Description

Liberon Beeswax with Pure Turpentine is a traditional furniture wax designed to nourish, protect and enhance the natural beauty of wood while producing an authentic, beautiful finish.

It is particularly suitable for antique furniture, pine, oak, painted furniture and absorbent woods. The traditional beeswax formulation can be used to maintain furniture and restore a warm, natural-looking finish.

Liberon Beeswax with Pure Turpentine is available in both Liquid Beeswax and Beeswax Paste formulations, allowing you to choose the consistency that best suits the surface and application.

The Liquid Beeswax is particularly useful for larger surfaces such as doors, panelling and beams, while the paste formulation provides a traditional beeswax consistency for furniture and smaller areas.

 

Liberon Liquid Beeswax or Beeswax Paste?

Priory Polishes now supplies both Liberon Liquid Beeswax with Pure Turpentine and Liberon Beeswax Paste with Pure Turpentine.

Both products are traditional beeswax-based finishes designed to nourish and enhance wood, but the different formulations make them suited to slightly different applications.

Product	Best Suited For
Liberon Liquid Beeswax	Large surfaces, doors, panelling, beams and areas where a liquid wax is easier to spread
Liberon Beeswax Paste	Furniture, smaller surfaces, detailed areas and traditional hand-applied waxing

If you are unsure which formulation is best for your project, the Liquid Beeswax is particularly convenient for larger areas, while the Paste Beeswax is a good choice where you prefer the control of a traditional paste wax.

Beeswax for Antique Furniture

Liberon Beeswax is particularly well suited to antique furniture.

Traditional wax finishes have long been used to nourish and protect wooden furniture while enhancing the natural character of the timber.

It can be used as part of an antique furniture restoration project or simply for regular maintenance of existing waxed furniture.

The wax can help revive a tired-looking surface and restore a warm, attractive sheen without completely changing the character of the original furniture.

---

Beeswax for Pine and Oak

Liberon Beeswax with Pure Turpentine is particularly suitable for pine and oak furniture.

It can enhance the natural grain and colour of these timbers while providing a traditional wax finish.

It is also suitable for absorbent woods where the wax can help nourish and protect the timber.

---

Beeswax for Painted Furniture

Liberon Beeswax can also be used on suitable painted furniture.

Waxing painted furniture can help enhance the appearance of the paint finish while providing a soft, traditional sheen.

Apply sparingly and buff carefully to avoid disturbing delicate painted surfaces.

Always test first, particularly when working on old or fragile painted furniture.

---

Beeswax for Absorbent Wood

Liberon Beeswax particularly nourishes and protects absorbent woods.

On dry or absorbent timber, the wax can penetrate into the surface and help enhance the natural appearance of the wood.

Thin applications are recommended. Building up several thin coats generally gives better control over the final sheen than applying one heavy coat.

---

Beeswax for Large Wooden Surfaces

Liberon Liquid Beeswax is particularly suited to large wooden surfaces.

It can be used on areas such as:

• Wooden doors
• Wood panelling
• Wooden beams
• Large pieces of furniture
• Large areas of antique pine
• Large oak surfaces

The liquid consistency makes it easier to spread thinly over larger areas compared with a traditional paste wax.

How to Use Liberon Liquid Beeswax

Before application 

1. Good preparation is important when applying Liberon Beeswax.
2. If the furniture already has an existing wax or polish finish, clean the surface before applying new wax.
3. For suitable finished furniture, Priory Polish Reviver and very fine wire wool can be used to remove accumulated dirt and grease and prepare the surface for waxing. This will also give you the best sheen whilst adding to the depth of the colour and finish.
4. Proper preparation can also help improve the final sheen and enhance the depth and appearance of the finish.
5. If the existing surface has a varnish or other incompatible finish, this may need to be removed before waxing.

How to Use Liberon Liquid Beeswax

1. Shake the tin extremely well before use.
2. Apply Liberon Liquid Beeswax sparingly using a clean buffing cloth.
3. Allow the wax to become touch dry.
4. Once fully dry, buff with a clean buffing cloth.
5. Use a wax polishing brush on awkward, carved or detailed areas if required.
6. Apply additional thin coats as required.
7. Buff between coats to build the desired sheen.
8. Liquid Beeswax normally takes around six hours to become touch dry, although this can take longer depending on temperature.

How to Use Liberon Beeswax Paste

For the paste formulation, apply a small amount of Liberon Beeswax Paste sparingly to the clean, prepared surface using a soft cloth.

1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and properly prepared.
2. Apply a thin layer of Beeswax Paste.
3. Work the wax evenly over the surface.
4. Allow the wax to dry.
5. Buff with a clean lint-free cloth.
6. Apply additional thin coats if a deeper finish is required.
7. Buff between coats.

Thin coats are preferable to applying a heavy layer of wax. This gives better control over the final appearance and makes buffing easier.

Maintaining a Beeswax Finish

One of the benefits of a traditional wax finish is that it is straightforward to maintain.

Dust the surface regularly using a clean lint-free cloth or duster. If the furniture begins to look dull or tired, simply apply another thin coat of wax and buff it once dry.

A wax finish can be refreshed repeatedly as required.

Wax finishes are not waterproof, so avoid washing waxed furniture with water or household detergents. Do not use spray dusters on waxed furniture.
