Applying Guinevere Organic Oil Wax
Guinevere Organic Oil Based Wax is primarily
intended as a natural surface treatment on products
that have undergone a final sanding finish according
to the Guinevere method.
It can also be used as a surface finish on interior
refinishing and remodeling projects on wood, e.g.
dining tables, furniture, carvings etc., leaving a
natural matte finish and emphasizing the wood's
own beauty.
1.
Final Preparation: Complete final sanding with
320 grit. Moisten the wood with a damp cloth to draw
up any remaining fibers. Allow it to dry thoroughly and
sand off any last fibers. Make sure that any sanding
dust is brushed or blown clean from wood surface.
2.
Heating: It is preferable to first gently heat the wax
with a hair drier or hot air gun. Alternatively, the oil
paste may be melted by placing it in a jar, then placed
in a saucepan with cold water at medium heat. The
paste will melt and becomes very easy to apply.
NOTE: The heating process has several purposes.
It softens the paste so that it penetrates deeper into
the wood; simultaneously it significantly shortens
the hardening and drying time.
3. Application: Rub a thin layer of the oil paste, in
small sections, across the entire surface of the wood,
leather or hor
n with a clean soft cloth, r
ag or paper
towel. Wipe off any surplus. Let the oil paste cool off
and dry for a couple of minutes.
4.
Using brush and cloth sleeves: Use a Guinevere brush sleeve to evenly spread and
rub the paste into the pores of the object. The object of using a brush sleeve at this
point is not to increase gloss b
ut to e
v
enly spread the oil paste over the entire surface.
Remember that the surface is still rather uneven even though you cannot see this with
the nak
ed eye.
