Gilboys 'Pure Gold' Premium Beeswax Furniture Polish (125ml)

Product Information

Weekly furniture maintenance of removing dust can be done by simply using a slightly damp cloth and drying if needed with a clean dry cloth - beeswax polish will protect the surface for a very long time. metres of furniture restorers recommended ultra-soft '0000' grade oil-free wire wool for perfect application The above also applies to old 20th century furniture that have been finished with cellulose lacquers and varnishes (film coatings). Frustrated by this, and after spending years and years searching for a wax polish that would adequately protect and preserve our restoration work, we developed our own using the very best ingredients we could find. Unlike traditional varnishes our hard wax oil is not a viscous coating and will perform much better if applied in multiple thin layers as opposed to heavy single applications.

A beeswax polish isn't intended to offer as much protection as lacquers, shellacs, varnishes and oil finishes. It is intended to act as an easily-restored sacrificial layer to protect those expensive and hard-to-repair finishes. Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:Unlike traditional finishes, our hard wax oil is simple to apply with a cloth, brush, or roller, providing a protective, satin sheen to your wood​​. And with our professional trade tips, you'll have all the guidance you need for a flawless finish​. We have developed our beeswax furniture polish to such a fine blend that you don't necessarily have to polish again for at least a year and possibly up to three years. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

This is an often-asked question that in this case comes from one of our YouTube viewers in Australia. Contains Nutrient Oils” - Wood doesn't need ‘nutrient oils’ if it has been finished. And 99.9% of all furniture sold will have been finished by the maker or manufacturer: Fact: If hand built furniture is left unfinished, even for a few days, it will start to move and if left for longer it may shrink, warp and twist. Sealing the wood almost immediately after it has been built is essential for it to be stable and hold its shape and form. So spaying a very diluted ‘nutrient oil’ will be of no benefit whatsoever and just smear over the surface. Thank you for your review. I'm very sorry our polish didn't have the desired effect you were hoping for. large lengths of our antique restorers' recommended open-weave 100% cotton buffing cloth for polishing without streaking

Rougher surfaces may increase the drying time and will require more applications to achieve a smooth finish. We have ensured there is enough in each tin to cover a single piece of furniture (depending on the absorption rate of the wood) such as dining table, gate-leg table, bureau, chest of drawers, or four to six dining chairs. We are proud of the efforts we have made to minimise the impact our business has on the environment:

I have seen this problem many times on furniture that has been finished with a coloured spray lacquer. Examples of mass produced furniture makers that I have seen this problem on are Ercol, Old Charm, and Priory. It does also very much depend on the environment they have been kept in. If you apply the polish and then immediately buff it, all you are doing is wiping the wax polish straight off the surface. You will see it on your buffing cloth where it should be on the surface. Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden (15-20 minutes in temperate climates)I personally believe that the cheaper brands were diluting the turpentine with a turps substitute which dramatically altered the composition of our wax polish formula and also its aromatic properties. It also could explain how they were 100% cheaper than the others. We carried out a number of blind smell tests over a cross section of people and it was fairly conclusive that the more expensive turpentine product was very much favoured. Without hesitation I chose to use it.
