I had superb advice from Simon Gilboy re renovating my late mother’s bureau. He gave me the confidence to get stuck in and not to worry. The result is just amazing - it looks like a nice antique piece of furniture now. Loved the wax and the little repair cubes were excellent at filling wood worn holes. I recommend Gilboy’s products and will be returning there myself when I run out.
What’s next! ….. old oak doors… stair spindles …..
Excellent service and product
Great product, nicely presented kit
Very helpful advice and good quality product. Have just refurbished. Small sofa. Thank you
I have already used the dark polish on an antique mahogany side table which was badly faded, with excellent results The polishing cloths helped to make the job so
easy, as diid the advice available on your website. Thank you also for the rapid delivery.
Bought Oxalic Acid Crystal to remove watermarks on oak flooring - same effective and happy with result. Highly recommend 😊
Having used this on an antique Mule chest, I was very impressed with this hard wax oil which is so easy to use. Although the instructions advised using 2 coats, I took the risk of applying a third and the final finish was wonderful.
I am currently working on our kitchen worktops and yes, will be using this wonderful product again!
This will certainly be on my future shopping list..
I highly recommend this product.
What a great product!
Gilboy's Hard Wax Oil saved my kitchen worktop!
I had just moved into a new property and I applied "too much" of another coloured product, on a new solid wood kitchen work surface. It stained my worktop, resulting in it looking like chipboard/covering worktop.
I ended up using varnish remover and sanded the surface down with 40 and 100 grit sandpaper, basically starting again! This next time I used Gilboys hard wax oil and the result was exactly what I wanted!
The picture with the sink in it shows the muddy coloured unwanted finish.
A surprisingly small amount of polish is needed to obtain an excellent finish, so this offsets the relatively high initial cost.
Very easy to apply. The wax is firmer and slightly harder to spread than other waxes, but the end result was actually better than I had expected.
I bought the polishing kit and hard wax oil to renovate a very old chest of drawers, I found exactly the right products to use, they are excellent! The instructions were good, the polishing kit contained all I needed to finish the job,
Very good product
I am a hobbyist woodworker and use the "pure gold" on all my pieces, as well as on furniture around the house. It is, in my opinion, by far the best beeswax product out there.
Earlier this year we moved into our (literally) 'forever' home, a council bungalow with nice wide doorways and sadly, really nasty old, heavy interiro fire doors that were hard to open and ugly as can be. Some months in, counting pennies and wondering how to deal with this, the Council (Cornwall btw) have no interest in interior doors, sais we could 'do as we like' with them. So we have.
With the last of our savings and fingers crossed we ordered 5 new pine doors and one glazed with an oak finish (a treat!) For the kitchen, hired a local chap to fit them which he duly did while talking the hind legs off several donkies. Then, what to finish them with?
Story getting too long now, so yes, we ordered Gilboys' Hard Wax Oil, based on reviews, the price - bleddy good! - And necessity for something farily quick drying with an inoffensive smell. It does pong. But it also dries within very few hours to a warm finish... We haven't rubbed the doors down yet, they are still a bit rough to the touch, they need at least one more coat. That'll have to wait now the weather has close in.
Buying from a company so near, with beeswax from Buckfast Abbey, and at such a good price, with free sunflower seeds too - yippety! We are very pleased. Might buy some wax polish too, see how we go. Hope this is enough, got fed up with receiving email prompts to review then found could cancel; we will use Gilboys again and recommend. The YouTube vids are great, your enthusiasm is infectous. I'm disabled and for some reason enjoying writing too much for this review... Happy Hallowe'en! Debs & Mike in Falmouth
took a recommendation [thanks Terry and Ash Chateaux Lalachelle]] and its great. Also just have to say the service was fabulous too. Very courteous and the packaging and care [and the wee surprise for the bees] took me back to a bygone era where customers felt valued.and it felt like a personal service. I'm a very happy customer thank you
Have just used this lovely wax to restore an old water-marked chest and it has come up beautifully. The online videos for the use of the oxalic acid and the wax were really helpful. Thanks!
