Why & how to use a Liming Wax Finish:

BRWIAX Liming Wax should be used on a piece of wood with a strong, visible grain – something like oak, ash, maple, etc. The look is to accomplish a white-washed, shabby-chic, or bleached look, highlighting the natural characteristics and giving a sense of depth and texture to the surface of the wood. Work the wax into the grain and then wipe it back so all of the wax stays deep in the grain and is removed from the outer surface of the wood. This is a great technique for bringing out the character of the wood, as well as creating a washed coastal look. Some woods benefit from opening the grain with a wire brush before applying Liming Wax. Apply the wax directly to the wood, pushing the bristles of your brush right into the grain. Use a lint-free cloth (Rustins Lint Free Cloths – Briwax International, Inc) to wipe back the wax. The wax should stay in the wood grain, but the surface can be as white or as translucent as wanted depending on the amount of wax removed. If the finished liming wax coat looks cloudy when dry, use 180 grain sandpaper to remove the cloudy appearance on the surface, this will not change the white grain look. Liming Wax should be overcoated with Clear BRIWAX Original Paste Wax for a more durable finish. Polish with the Ultra-Magic Microfiber Cloth for a satin sheen.
