Application
- Ensure the wood surface is smooth, clean and dry before applying
- Use a good quality lint free cloth, brush or sponge roller to apply
- Apply two coats for best results on high traffic areas such as floors, kitchen worktops and dining tables
- Sanding between each coat is not always necessary but advisable for a smoother finish
*Rougher surfaces may increase the drying time and will require more applications to achieve a smooth finish.
Trade Tips
- On initial application, if possible, remove the excess hard wax oil with a lint free cloth as you apply it. This will help reduce the drying time.
- 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.
- Our hard wax oil is also very effective to use as a sanding sealer. Wipe it on bare wood and allow it to soak in for a few minutes. Then wipe away all the excess oil and allow to dry.
Approximate Coverage
500ml: 10m2
1L: 20m2
Drying Time
Our hard wax oil is made with natural ingredients. A single application will usually be dry in 8 hours. The drying time may extend in cold and humid environments.
* The best drying conditions are achieved by applying the hard wax oil sparingly in a warm, well ventilated room.
I am an amateur. I like DIY but things like sanding wooden tops fills me with doom (because of potential impending disasters). I watched loads of videos, many from Simon, and went ahead and got out the sander. The whole job has been easy, and my kitchen island now has a beautiful finish following the very straightforward application of the Gilboy’s wax oil. Thanks for your confidence and good humour in all the emails and videos, Simon - and of course, your fantastic products!
Still in the process of renovating three teak coffee tables, hard wax oil very easy to use.
I fantastic product
Very good product
Yet again another wonderful product from Gilboys. Just finished an old table stripped and the wax oil applied. I then finished with a light buffing of Gilboys beeswax gold. What an amazing outcome.
Went on very easily at room temperature. Used two thin coats to achieve the finish l required and feed the veneer
I'm loving this finish! It's easy to apply and I love the all natural ingredients. It's low VOC so safe before, during, and after application.
I've been applying 2-3 coats, sanding 320 between coats and wet sanding the final coat with 600 grit during application before buffing off the excess.(similar to how I would apply straight linseed oil). The final result is a great looking finish that is buttery smooth to the touch.
I prefer this hardwax oil to others on the market. Gilboy's is a fantastic company that I'm happy to support!
Just fantastic, emailed with a few questions and had a reply within a few minutes once on bank holiday weekend! Have just started my table about to oil it, today for the first coat so will let you know how it goes.
After some advice from Simon I used the antique gold hard wax and then 2 more coats of hard wax oil it looks great, just needed the confidence to go for it.
Next project is an old Sea Captains wooden chest so watch this space.
I used this hard wax oil on my first project after watching several of YouTube videos which are really informative. My small table turned out beautifully. Now planning to strip and finish two dining tables using this and their Pure Gold Polish.
A pleasure to use, pleasant smell when applied, odourless once dry and buffed., lovely even finish, Much easier to use than the traditional bees wax, no tacky residue once polished.
