Briwax 400g Wax Polish - Teak

Product Information

Unlike most other wood finishes, you can restore the finish at any stage in its life by wiping down with mineral turpentine, and applying another coat of oil. Wax is not waterproof, and if spills are allowed to stay on waxed surfaces they can cause white spotting or watermarks. To remove these, just apply another coat of wax to the affected area. Applying new wax will remove the old wax and replace it with a new coat, which should remove the watermarks. However, if you allow the surface to remain wet for a long time, the watermark will get into the wood, and applying more wax won't solve this. If you’ve got a lot to do, plan to spread the task out! The buffing did wear me out a bit, so I would just do several doors at a time, then take a break. A lot of modern furniture is supplied as bare unfinished pine. To colour and protect the furniture, the easiest way is to apply a coloured wax. Just rub the furniture with Briwax Original Wax, applied with 0000 steel wool. After about 10 minutes, the wax will have hardened, and you can buff it to a deep shine with a soft cloth. That's all there is to it!

If you want a deeper colour, apply another coat of coloured wax. If you want a lighter colour, apply a coat of Briwax Clear Wax. The Clear wax will ‘thin’ the colour that was applied first.In the morning, rub the surface with 0000 steel wool, wipe off the dust, and wipe on a second coat of Teak Oil with a cloth. Once dry, this should be enough. If you want a higher gloss, apply another coat. Yes, you can use Briwax Danish Oil on your kitchen bench top, table tops, floors, window sills and doors (interior & exterior) as long as you follow our instructions. See the section on Protecting a floor with Danish Oil for more information on how to create a strong, waterproof finish with Danish Oil. Now apply the colour. Use disposable rubber gloves when handling the Briwax Spirit-based dye, as it won't come off easily! Antique Mahogany is a favourite for Kwila furniture. Light Oak is an alternative if you like a lighter colour, but any colour will work. It's easiest to pour the dye into a shallow dish, and apply it with a cloth. The dye will be dry within 20-30 minutes. For more details on how to apply Danish Oil and Teak Oil to a floor, see the How-To artice Protecting a Floor with Danish Oil.

This is a traditional finishing treatment for all types of wood in the home and in the workshop. Briwax is a blend of Beeswax and Carnauba waxes and gives an instant natural sheen to bare wood. It is ideal for use on wood carvings and turned wood, skirting boards and doors, and is widely used in the pine furniture industry. Colours (400g / 5 Litre): Antique Brown, Clear, Medium Brown (P7), Antique Mahogany, Antique Pine, Dark Oak, Honey, Jacobean, Old Pine, Rustic Pine, Spanish Mahogany, Teak, Tudor Oak, Walnut, Silver Grey (400g only)Once you've finished your furniture with Danish Oil, you can create a deeper sheen on surfaces that aren't likely to get wet by applying a coat of clear Briwax Original Wax over the top. The two different finishes create a beautiful depth to the shine. With very hard woods you can thin down the oils 10 to 15% with mineral turpentine to give better penetration. On Matai and Totara, apply Briwax Sanding Sealer first, which will stop the acids in the wood affecting the oil. Also use Shellac Sanding Sealer on customwood (after staining but before oiling) to prevent the oil reacting with the resins in customwood and giving off a lingering odour.

For the first coat use Briwax Danish Oil neat, or thinned slightly with about 10% mineral turpentine. Apply plenty of oil with a brush, cloth, or a foam roller, to make sure the wood takes up all the oil it needs. Wipe off the excess with a cloth as you go. This way you make sure there's enough oil in the timber, but you don't run the risk of creating a 'surface’ of Danish Oil on top of the wood. Leave this first coat to dry overnight.

One of the biggest advantages of Danish Oil is that it's very easy to repair the surface if it gets damaged. Wipe down the surfact with mineral turpentine and 0000 grade steel wool, and apply one more coat with a cloth. Once dry, the surface will be good as new. If the surface is more seriously damaged, sand it lightly first and apply one or two coats of Danish Oil. Once it's dry, rub the floor lightly with a fine sandpaper (about 320 grit), and wipe off the dust. You can apply the second coat either neat or thinned up to 50% with mineral turpentine, again making sure that you don't leave too much on the surface. Danish Oil gives a matt finish, whereas Teak Oil is glossier. Apply Briwax Oils with a cloth (or use a brush or sponge for larger areas, and wipe over with a cloth to remove any brush marks). Allow overnight to dry, and sand between coats with fine (240 grit) sandpaper or 0000 grade steel wool in the direction of the grain.

Spirit-based dyes give a very intense and long-lasting colour deep inside the wood. Unlike many other finishes such as wood stains, Briwax Spirit-based dyes are not a finish in themselves. This means that you can get exactly the colour you want, and then protect it with oil as a final step. In temperatures of above 20°C Briwax Original Wax may soften or liquify. If this happens, replace the lid and store in a cool place, it will then return to its original form. Two thin coats are sufficient for most purposes on bare wood, but for kitchen worktops, floors, external doors and tables use four coats, which if applied carefully will give a water-resistant finish, even for hot cups of coffee! A coat of Briwax original wax over the top will give the Danish Oil a satin sheen, if you wish.

For most purposes, Teak Oil can be treated exactly the same as Danish Oil, except that the final finish is a high gloss. Apply at least two thin coats of Teak Oil. The more coats you use, the better the final gloss will be. Briwax Teak Oil is often used on outdoor furniture.
