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.

500ml: 10m2

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.
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.
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.
Great product, really enhanced my dining table. Thank you!
Amazing product! My old dinning table looks like new now. Thanks!
Excellent product also helpful consultation with Simon.
. To be recommended
I’m a joiner/furniture maker and have tried just about all the hard wax oils on the market, and this will now be my go to finish. What’s more, it’s made a couple of miles from my workshop!
Lovely satin finish, straightforward application and it even has a citrus scent as you work it in.
This product was recommended by a friend, I wanted a very natural finish that protected the wood this fits the bill perfectly. It has a lovely subtle sheen and bonus I love the smell, the wood hasn’t been subjected to anything terrible yet but just spots of water carried in on dog paws just sit there and wipe without mark ing. Time will tell with other spills but I am confident it won’t be the only time I use Gilboys. I will let you know how the sunflowers fair, lovely personal touch.
I've used your hard wax on several projects within the last 2 months. . . . Love how easy it is to apply and the results are beautiful. Received product quickly, extremely well packaged, and my questions were answered in a timely manner, allowing me to complete my projects on time. Will definately continue to use your products.
This product does exactly what it says on the tin, I used it on an Ercol sofa frame which I had had dipped to remove the dark stain. Excellent result. Highly recommended.
