Hi there! I have the same cabinets from your before photo. I would really like to try this, but I am not sure how to change out my existing hardware without leaving holes. Is there a wood filler that I should use- and should this be used before or after applying the wax? For most purposes, Teak Oil can be treated exactly the same as Danish Oil, except that the final finish is a high gloss. Apply at least two thin coats of Teak Oil. The more coats you use, the better the final gloss will be. Briwax Teak Oil is often used on outdoor furniture.

For a guide and comparison of our wax polishes, have a read of our blog, Wax Polishes, Which Should I Use? Shelf-life/Storage A very long time if stored in original container tightly sealed in a cool dry place. Danish Oil gives a matt finish, whereas Teak Oil is glossier. Apply Briwax Oils with a cloth (or use a brush or sponge for larger areas, and wipe over with a cloth to remove any brush marks). Allow overnight to dry, and sand between coats with fine (240 grit) sandpaper or 0000 grade steel wool in the direction of the grain. For a more durable finish, rub with 0000 grade steel wool and apply another coat. Some people even like to apply four coats, if the floor is particularly heavily used or subject to water, such as a kitchen or entranceway.Maintenance: The renowned Briwax finish can be maintained by further applications, giving increased hardness and shine.

I was just wondering if you heard of anyone using an electric buffer for the wax? I have fibromyalgia and the buffing by hand would kill me, but these ugly cabinets need help Unlike most other wood finishes, you can restore the finish at any stage in its life by wiping down with mineral turpentine, and applying another coat of oil.

In hot weather, Briwax Original can go liquid. It's harder to apply the wax when it's like this, and it doesn't go as far. Put the tin in the fridge for a while, or in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, and the wax will harden again. It's a lot easier to create a good finish when the wax is firm, particularly with the darker colours. Yes, you can use Briwax Danish Oil on your kitchen bench top, table tops, floors, window sills and doors (interior & exterior) as long as you follow our instructions. See the section on Protecting a floor with Danish Oil for more information on how to create a strong, waterproof finish with Danish Oil. This does happen sometimes on the second or third coat. Lightly sand the surface with a 240 grade sand paper and then apply Briwax Danish Oil thinned with mineral turps by 15-20%. By giving the product more flow in this way, it should cure the problem.

If you want a deeper colour, apply another coat of coloured wax. If you want a lighter colour, apply a coat of Briwax Clear Wax. The Clear wax will ‘thin’ the colour that was applied first. It doesn’t require sanding and is very easy to apply. So if you want to keep things simple like me, you’ll still get great results with this product! No, Briwax Danish Oil does not come in colours, but you can tint it with Briwax Spirit-based Wood Dye. The resultant coloured oil does not have a long shelf life, and so it should be mixed and used within a few days. The disadvantage of mixing the Wood Dyes with Oil is that you are committed to a specific colour. If you apply the Wood Dye to your wood first, you can add more or different colours until you are happy with the colour, and then seal the colour with Oil afterwards. If you apply tinted Danish Oil and don't like the finished colour, you will need to sand the finish off before you can re-colour the timber. This product can expose you to chemicals including Toluene which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the first coat use Briwax Danish Oil neat, or thinned slightly with about 10% mineral turpentine. Apply plenty of oil with a brush, cloth, or a foam roller, to make sure the wood takes up all the oil it needs. Wipe off the excess with a cloth as you go. This way you make sure there's enough oil in the timber, but you don't run the risk of creating a 'surface’ of Danish Oil on top of the wood. Leave this first coat to dry overnight.
