I've been restoring a Victorian oak dinning table and after watching Simon’s youtube video I decided to try the hard wax oil - and I'm so glad I did. So simple to apply and to clean up I've used 3 coats as the oak was in desperately in need of nourishment. A beautiful satin finish. Thank you will definitely use again on other projects.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information on YouTube that has assisted my first attempt at restoring an old pub stool that belonged to my great grandad. The final finish with your hard wood oil was just perfect. I never realised how beautiful the stool was having only known it painted a hideous brown. I haven’t got a before photo but have a WIP one and a final one. The pub table is next and a pine kitchen table where I’ll try out the bees wax. A great product, lots on great online advice.
I am using RoseGold wax to renovate my husbands 1970s teak ladderax shelving so our son can use it in his first flat.
Not finished yet as it was very mucky having been used in a workshop then up the loft for many years.
I’m slowly working my way through the shelves and cabinets cleaning, repairing and waxing as I go..
The rose gold wax is adding a wonderful lustre which brings the wood alive without making it shiny
Fantastic products and the YouTube videos helped show me how to use them.
I restored an art nouveau fireplace, and having tried various products, this was simply the best. Very pleased with the results
Watched Simons video on refinishing Ercol coffee table, it gave me confidence to refinish the one we had. Used the hard wax and pure wax the coffee table now looks amazing really pleased with the finish, thank you Simon for the advice. Next project our ercol dining table, the products are easy to use and are superb.
The response to my question was prompt as was the delivery of the oil.
The packaging was beautiful, very well presented however I haven’t been able to use the product yet so can’t comment.
The wax is very rich. A real quality product that transformed my mahogany antique chair. I couldn’t be happier. And thanks to Simon for the follow up advice.
I used Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil for the first time on unfinished Oak Cabinets. It’s the only product I used on them and they turned out GORGEOUS!! Easy to use, non toxic, unique finish without having to stain! I’m a can for life.
The oxalic acid cyrstals I purchased were as described and arrived in good order and within the scheduled time frame. Perfect; thank you.
This is such a lovely hard wax, easy to use & gives a great finish.
First purchased a small tin to finish an early 1900’s dining table. I was so impressed I’ve bought a larger tin for our other restoration projects. As with all Gillboys products, it’s now our first port of call for finishing!
I bought this brush as a replacement for one that I lost. It is a good quality brush to use with the beeswax polish to achieve a good looking finish. I would recommend this rotary brush.
As always the product lived up to expectations. I needed to replenish as I was completing a project. I wanted to see the result of the Hard Wax Oil finish being used over paint and then polished. I am very pleased with the results. ✅
Thank you, as always.
Delivered on time and well wrapped. Also with a complimentary packet of sunflowers which is much appreciated. I haven't used the product yet. However it looks fine and is in sturdy tubs very easy to open but more importantly, has a nice tight lid to keep the chemicals contained.
This is the best wood polish we have ever used. We polished an old piece of furniture that had been in the family for years. It has made the cabinet look marvellous and was very easy to apply and buff up.
Amazing stuff!! I found this on your video and decided to give it a try. The results were impressive. Will definitely use again.
