Liberon LW250 250ml Liming Wax

Product Information

Work the Liming Wax into the grain of the wood with Libéron Ultrafine Steel Wool (grade 0000) or a lint-free cotton cloth and wipe over with a clean cloth to remove excess. By applying lime wax to a piece of vintage furniture, you can enhance its character and give it a modern, stylish appeal while still preserving its original charm. I’m going to show you how to bring out the grain in this beautiful frame and if you find anything which is really oaky and got a strong grain to it, then this is the method to do it. Not removing excess product or skipping the buffing step with a soft, dry cloth can also compromise the finished look.

Perfect for DIYers and woodworking professionals, it’s a technique ideally used when you aim for a vintage or distressed look while preserving wood’s natural beauty. If you wish to enhance the effect, colour the wood with Libéron Palette Wood Dye before applying the liming wax. Liming wax, a transformative tool for wood refinishing, adds a whitewashed aesthetic and shine to furniture. You can add this in circular motions to work it into the grain but always finish in the direction of the grain. Fiddes Liming Wax is ideal for application on woods such as oak, or those which normally exhibit distinctive deep grain pattern.

Liming wax, with its transformative properties, is often used for a variety of applications involving wood furniture. The gentle finishing wax is created from a blend of beeswax, carnauba wax, and shellac wax, and it creates a lasting and lustrous shine.

Liming wax is also known as white wax as it gives a ‘whitewash’ effect due to the wax soaking into the grain of the wood. To do this, use Liberon Wax and Polish Remover with a clean cloth and wipe over the entire piece in the direction of the grain.Apply Liming Wax to an open grain wood such as ash or oak, using a wire brush to open the wood grain for an easy to achieve “limed” look. NOTE: All unlisted Real Milk Paint® colors are made with combinations of the ingredients in the above-tested colors. Remember, the goal is to open the grain without damaging the wood, so be gentle when you sand, especially when using a wire brush or coarse sandpaper. Important: Always test product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result.

One of its most common uses is in furniture restoration, where it gives old, worn-out pieces of furniture a fresh, updated look. Trusted by woodworking enthusiasts, it ensures your project gets the professional, beautiful finish it deserves. I love the look of the white wax settling into the crevices and when thinned with paint thinner, gives wood a bleached in the sun feel.

Ensure the moulding is clean, dry and free from any previous finishes, it always works best on bare wood moulding. While both can give a whitewash effect to wood, they’re fundamentally different products with separate application processes. The resulting look is one of antique elegance and rustic charm, making this finishing product a favorite tool among woodworkers aiming to create pieces with a sense of history. It’s important to remove the surplus product; otherwise, it could leave a cloudy residue, detracting from the desired finish. What you want to do is really work the wax into the grain, and then wipe it back so all the wax stays deep in the grain and comes off the outer surface of the wood.

An easy way to give a surface a whitewashed look, Lime Wax can be put right over a finished surface to protect and color at the same time. The Best way to open the grain of the wood is by using a Liberon Bronze Liming Brush, always work in the direction of the grain and use a fair amount of pressure to lift the pores. Here, we present the technique in a comprehensive guide that covers every step, from preparation to final buffing. Once the surface is completely covered, rub lightly across the grain making sure the liming wax remains in the open pores.For a successful application of liming wax, you’ll need a few tools: a soft cloth or brush, sandpaper, wire brush, and protective gear or gloves. Once this is dry, remove any blemishes using a sanding pad or paper, again in the direction of the grain.

You can see I didn’t do a good job applying the stripper in a uniform direction on the top one and that made for more work, removing the swirls, later.
