Lincoln Furniture Wax is a blend of purely organic naturally occurring materials that are indefinitely sustainable.
The resulting cream is completely non toxic, easy to use, long lasting and a very durable real wax that offers exceptional value for money. (Many customers report over five years use per jar!)
In over twenty years of our own research, including more than a decade of direct public trials we have specifically formulated this wax for the feeding, stabilising and on- going protection of the most delicate of shellac finishes, however, being mindful of the vast amount of modern finishes used today we have made certain the wax can be safely applied over any existing finish we are aware of to achieve a more enhancing "patina".
Lincoln Furniture Wax is a simple to use yet very effective protective finish, and must be used to be appreciated. It cleans the surface during application, repels wood boring insects, resists water, low level heat, dust, finger marks, oils, alcohols etc. (just dust or wipe off with a clean soft cloth or in an extreme case wax again) it is even very good for the skin and is non toxic!
APPLICATION:
Using a small pad of a lint free, cotton cloth e.g. an old linen sheet, old T shirt etc. smear the wax on sparingly in
the direction of the grain.
Leave on no more than three minutes working on a small area at a time, rub the surface vigorously with a clean cotton cloth to remove the excess wax when each section of the panel is waxed and then burnish all over with at third clean cloth when all the panel is complete.
Wax may be applied as often as once a week if desired, however the sparing application of 3 to 5 coats (24 hrs between) at first with maintenance coats as necessary thereafter.
This is a concentrated wax with no bulking agents - the entire contents are useable, so use sparingly - excess build up may be gently cut back with "000" or "0000" grade steel wool, available from Constantia - if waxing a surface with a heavy build up of marks such as near a door handle or similar it is recommended Cleaner Restorer be used first to cleanse the surface in preparation. Be careful to place the lid on the jar at all times except when dipping a little wax out - this will minimise the amount of dust and other airborne particles that can fall into the jar - only to be waxed onto your furniture in the future!
