2X400g Medium Colron Refined Beeswax Paste Oak

This product is particularly good, applied as per instructions to a pine table I had made and very pleased with the end result. Although I was unsure of the colour when I opened the tin (it looks like the contents of my sons nappy when he has a dodgy belly) it’s easy to work with, apply along the grain with a fresh lint free cloth and leave to dry. The end result for me is a pine table which looks like solid oak.Providing you have prepared the surface sufficiently I.e. stripped and sanded with 120 grit paper or finer you cannot go wrong, just be wary that if you have any other finish applied (old wax, varnish etc.) the stain in the wax will not take consistently - see the attached photo for an example of what I mean.

Let me first start by giving you my previous routine to stain and finish a piece of bare wood.I would use my own made up tea stain and give the wood maybe 4 or 5 coats of that with maybe 30 minutes between coats. Then, the grain having been raised by all that liquid I would give a good sanding with 180 and maybe 240 grit. Then, I would add maybe 3 or 4 coats of varnish with a brush. Plus, it would be a couple of hours between coats. So, all in all, a very time intensive job. Now, when you add varnish, it's almost impossible not to have the odd drip or blob, especially on corners and areas difficult to reach.Well, that was the way I used to do it and that's what it took. Enter this amazing Ronseal Beewax Paste which is impregnated with stain. It's an absolute doddle (piece of cake) compared to the first method. You'll almost feel guilty, the amount of work it takes to get such amazing results.You open the can, and apply to the wood. Shhh ! Don't tell anyone, but I apply this using my index finger which of course I diligently wash afterwards.Leave it for 15 minutes, rub off any excess and give a good buff. Even with only these steps you will have a finish that you'd be quite happy with.If you'd like a supremely lustrous and satin smooth finish, wait a couple of hours and do the same again. Before I found this, I had tried Colron Antiquing Wax which I found in a joinery workshop. Turns out this has been out of production for years and the lady at Ronseal suggested Beeswax. I had used the Colron Antique Pine version and, having read some reviews of the Beeswax pine being a bit yellow, I decided to try the Georgian Medium Oak. It is perfect ! Just a shade darker than the Antique pine I had tried but actually a lovely richer shade.Even although my test pieces only had a very modest amount of sanding, this stuff, after two coats, left them with a lovely rich gorgeous satin smooth finish.So, if you want your bare wood to look gorgeous but want to do it with little effort, do yourself a favour and get some Refined Beeswax Paste.Let me first start by giving you my previous routine to stain and finish a piece of bare wood.I would use my own made up tea stain and give the wood maybe 4 or 5 coats of that with maybe 30 minutes between coats.

I used this to stain and wax my girls new tipple bunk beds. The beds where pine with no finish on them, meaning they looked cheap and plain. Now after just 1 coat they look rich in colour and match my corona furniture which is exactly what I was after.I have never done this before but I found it really easy to apply and buff with microfiber clothes. 1 tin has done all the beds and i still have some left over. I will definitely buy this again if I ever need it.

Wax on is easy.... wax off is a work out! The finish is spectacular!I have a 6 ft solid oak dining table which was looking dry... two coats of wax later, it looks brand newRecommend VERY thin layer!

I used this because I couldn't be bothered to stain and then finish - thought I'd try combining the two processes into one. Used it on 18mm softwood plywood and it did the trick.Good, even coverage as long as you only use as much as you need. Make sure you go with the grain. Practise first.Somehow seemed a little greener than I thought it would be, particularly next to lighter brown wood. But the greenish colour faded quickly and it's not particularly noticeable now.

Works great brings life to bare wood and touch ups a little goes a long way its takes a bit of work but its worth it takes 2 coats and polish it off

Ordered this to re-wax my lounge furniture.Product is very good but unfortunately once tin opened I discovered the tin was for display purposes only as it was only half full ??

I tried a lot of sample hard wax oil samples from amazon but they were far too dark and one brought out the orange of the pine which is common. Colron Georgian medium oak was my first purchase and the one I finally went with. I used it at room temperature and it glides on. It gave a really nice honey colour to my stripped waxed victorian door and it was like a nice light to medium oak. Didn’t give off a lovely wax fragrance like some others.
