Belinda Eddins: I was disappointed some of the product had leaked out all over the can. It needed to taped down and more secured. The clips didn't help but over all its a good product to use.

expectbest: wire brushed brown wood candlesticks, sanded a bit. then used white wax to give them a vintage look. Will be trying on some wood furniture soon. The 4 stars is related to making sure wax not too warm. If too warm, too liquid like

ChristinaChristina: This product is amazing and it was so easy to apply. 1. Clean cabinets 2. I used an old washcloth, poked my finger in the cloth and then into the wax. Use a very small amount. 3. Rub it on the cabinet doors, inside and outside, and on the framing. I rubbed in with the grain, then against the grain, then with the grain. 4. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes and lightly wipe away any extra. My cabinets were the 20 year old oak yellow/orangeish color. I tried sanding and not sanding and the results were the same. So, I did not sand anywhere. I did purchase the round brush, but found using a cloth wrapped around my index finger was easier. I now have a whole new look to my kitchen for about $25. I did this over 3 days.....but I could have started in the morning and finished late that night, but my arm did get tired. Takes some elbow grease but so worth it. I still have about 1/4 of the can left......better find another project!! My pix are before, during and complete.

Roger DenbyRoger Denby: The results were as good as expected. Which is good because the price was ridiculous, but I couldn't find it anywhere in Canada.

Rick K.Rick K.: I used this to refinish a number of late 1800's oak tables, dressers and other furniture items that we shipped back from Belgium for our store Adore in downtown Mystic, CT. It was very easy to use but if it is your first time, be sure to watch some videos.

I have only used it with old oak, which has nice pores to hold the wax. I highly recommend stripping and sanding the piece down thoroughly, and then use a brass brush to really work the powder out of the pores. I use large, flat brass brushes for the flat areas and small toothbrush-sized for the detail areas. I apply the wax with a cloth, and gently rub off excess after a few minutes. Note that the wood will appear hazy at this point. I found if you try to clean it too soon, you remove too much of the wax in the pores. For me, waiting a 8 hrs seemed to do the trick. I would then use a clear wax and a wax polishing brush on my drill to remove the haze. 3 to 4 coats of clear wax later and a few day to cure and you have something beautiful.

All the wood I refinished was of the same approximate age, over 100 years and very hard so, I can't say how newer wood will react. So, experiment!

Joseph Natishan: Great stuff - lots of fun to be creative with for different looks. For example, I wanted an aged/antique look for some pine wainscoting for my home office remodel. I'd purchased a pile of T&G 1x6 pine boards from a lumber yard that had left them out to weather in the sun for an extended period. They were grayish and a little dirty on the roughsawn side - a great starting point. I knocked down the fibers just a bit with some 220 paper and then applied the liming wax with a rag in blotches across the boards not worrying about evenness. The trick was the next step - I used a very common plastic bristle brush (maybe 2"x6" -- the kind you'd clean your tires with or scrub your floors with in the old days) to spread and even out the wax through all of the nocks, crannies, and knots. It worked great and it was quite fast! And you don't get splinters using the brush like you would if you'd used a rag. Caution: if you use a lot of the wax at once over a large surface area there will be a strong petroleum odor until it dries/hardens/outgasses because it is a wax. I went through 4 cans of the Liming wax and also used it on the drawer fronts of a built-in unit to match the...
