No. Not all skies are natural and that's why the Kreidezeit wax is special. The vast majority of people associate wax with a natural product, but not always the wax you buy is a natural product. The furniture waxes you find in furniture shops are generally synthetic waxes, which sometimes contain only small percentages of natural wax.

How to use

Natural wax can be applied to any wood essence used indoors. It is applied directly to untreated, unpainted wood or to oiled or varnished surfaces. The wax is ready to use and brushes, cloths or rags can be used to spread it on the surface. Apply 1 or 2 thin coats. It is important that the wax is applied in repeated circular movements or along the grain in order to penetrate the wood well. Allow 30-45 min to penetrate well into the wood, then wipe off excess wax with a dry cloth. After 24 hours the wax can be polished to a silky sheen. Horsehair brushes are very good for this operation.

Wax can be coloured with natural pigments. To colour, first take a small amount of wax and mix it with the desired pigment until a paste is formed. Mixing is best done on a flat metal or glass surface. Use a spatula or a spatula pad to rub the surface so that no lumps form. The resulting paste is then mixed with the remaining wax. The pigment should not exceed 25% of the entire mixture. The more pigment is added, the less transparent the wax becomes.

In principle, 1 litre of wax can cover 30 m² of wood. Consumption varies according to the type of wood. Also, on an oiled or varnished surface the consumption is lower.

Warning: Oil or wax soaked rags should be washed with water and dried in the open air or kept in a closed container as they present a danger of self-ignition due to ethereal oils.

Wax or oil finishes are the ones that give a very natural look to wood. Wax is very suitable for rustic finishes. Furniture protected with a thin layer of wax has a silky sheen and is more resistant to scratching or staining. So don't miss today's offer. You'll always be able to find a toy, piece of furniture or piece of wood to protect. Especially as the wax left in the packaging, covered with a lid, can still be used after years.
