Description

If you’re looking for a clear finish that is tough, hard-wearing and very easy to apply, even on larger areas, you’re in the right place. Available in ‘original’ Gloss and new Satin finish.

Hard Wax Oil is a particular blend of tough oils combined with special waxes which dries to an exceptionally resilient finish. Ideal for anything that is going to be subjected to water splashes or a lot of handling, this oil may not be indestructible, but it will stand up to a lot of abuse.

It retains the ease of application typical of an oil, and it stays wet long enough to get a smooth, even finish – even on large areas – but is touch dry and tack free in about 20 minutes, and better yet is ready for a second coat after about four hours (in normal conditions).

The Gloss version of Hard Wax Oil will build to a bright gloss finish after 2–3 coats. Rub down lightly between coats with a fine abrasive. Once hard dry (allow at least 24 hours) it can be brought to an even brighter shine using either the Buffing Wheel System or Burnishing Cream.

When a Satin finish is required, the Satin version is the ideal choice; 2–3 coats will give the maximum protection without building to a bright shine.

4 reviews for Hard Wax Oil

  1. Terry Smart (store manager) – 31 August 2018

    Here’s an extract of an email from a Hard Wax Oil user…
    ‘I applied a base coat of Hard Wax Oil followed by 2 top coats of the oil. After it had dried, me being me. I thought ‘let’s soak this with water’ and laid it flat and left it in a wet condition. This morning after 10 hours I looked to see what damage there was to the finish. A lot of the water had dried but what was left was still sitting on top of the oil. A quick wipe with a paper towel and believe it or not there was not a blemish on the Hard Wax Oil finish. I am well impressed and I thought I would let you know the result as it seems this stuff works well in keeping water out.’
