Test Report for Pendulum Testing to BS7976-2 by Surface Consultants Ltd

*The R scale runs from R9 to R13, where R9 is slippery when wet, and R13 the least slippery. Floor surfaces that are classified by the DIN 51130 standard as R9 (or in some instances R10) will be slippery when used in wet or greasy conditions.

COVERAGE

Our Hard Wax Oil provides excellent coverage on a variety of wooden surfaces:

Container Size	Coverage Area
500ml	10m² approx.
1L	20m² approx.

Coverage varies depending on the porosity and condition of the wood. Testing on a small inconspicuous area first is recommended to determine exact coverage for your specific application.

DRYING TIME

8 HOURS

Average drying time for a single application

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.

Best Drying Conditions - The best drying conditions are achieved by applying the hard wax oil sparingly in a warm, well ventilated room.

HOW TO APPLY

Unlike traditional finishes, our hard wax oil is simple to apply with a cloth, brush, or roller, providing a protective, satin sheen to your wood. And with our professional trade tips, you'll have all the guidance you need for a flawless finish.

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.

Hard Wax Oil

I wanted to refinish some pine chairs as the varnish/stain had failed. They looked dirty and felt sticky. After watching a couple of your videos on YouTube I ordered the Hard Wax Oil. It was delivered the next day, contained a thank you note, and some seeds - how lovely! The oil smells amazing and has brought the chairs up lovely. Great product, fabulous customer service and very informative videos. Thank you x

Wonderful product

I watched Gilboy’s YouTube video to learn how to strip my pine table and wax it. The hard oil wax is so easy to use and gives a lovely finish. So pleased with the end product. Before and after photos below.

THE BEST Hardwax Oil out there!

This product is my Go To finish on the furniture i restore in my YouTube videos. Its made from the highest quality ingredients, is so easy to use and gives a beautiful yet hardwearing finish that brings out the natural beauty of the wood. Its also very reasonably priced considering its quality and the little you need to use for amazing results. I always get 100's of comments about the beautiful finish of the pieces i restore which is in no small part to Gilboys Products.

Best of the best!

I’m sorry that ALL my stars were not recorded, because the Gillboys products are the very best we have ever used for finishing furniture. We very much appreciate that the product is made with simple, non- toxic ingredients, and is easy to use. Thanks to everyone who makes this product available to those of us who love wood.

Great Product

Great Product. Does what it says on the tin. Highly recommended. Well packaged. No Invoice or receipt.

Love the product!

Super easy application resulting in a beautiful finish. I have tried a lot of products and this is probably my favorite overall. Used on furniture, floors, kitchen counters, etc. Would definitely buy again.

Top drawer service e as usual!

Great communication and delivery service. Product easy to apply and looks superb!

Being new to wax and untreated oak shelves, the advice and products recommended by Simon was very helpful.
Ordering and delivery was very easy

Great

My second order of hard wax oil. The oak shelves I used it on look great, and I have oak doors to oil too. I also have teak stairs to oil and I am confident that they will look fab. So easy to use, which is such a relief.

Excellent product, being used in the Caribbean by the sea on a mango wood table, so exposed to a lot of salt and UV.
