1208 Liberon White Liming Wax 250ml

Liberon Liming Wax is a white wax used to create a limed effect on oak and other bare wood mouldings

When rubbed into the surface of an open textured wood, white flecks fill the pores of the wood. This creates an interesting ‘limed’ or ‘patinated’ look, which is very effective on many mouldings, especially ash and ayous/obeche.

Exaggerate the effect by opening the grain with a bronze wire brush carefully before applying the wax. Use Neutral Black Bison Wax to remove surplus and to give a shine.

Application

1) Ensure the moulding is clean, dry and free from any previous finishes, it always works best on bare wood moulding. You may need to wire wool over the surface and sand off any excess stains. Open the grain with a Liberon Bronze Liming Brush, always work in the direction of the grain and use a good amount of pressure. The more open the grain, the better the results will be achieved.

2) Once the grain has been opened using the wire brush, work the Liberon liming wax into the grain of the wood with fine Liberon Steel Wool (0000) or a buffing cloth. You can add this in circular motions to work it into the grain but always finish in the direction of the grain. Wipe off the excess with a clean cloth, first buff against the grain and then finish in the direction of the grain. Allow to dry for 3 – 5 minutes.

3) Remove the excess white haze using a cloth and then finish with a clear wax for a quality smooth finish. If a water-resistant finish is required, use Liberon Finishing Oil. The more coats of oil that are applied the greater the water resistance and the higher the shine will be.
