Briwax 400g Wax Polish - Teak

Product Information

In the morning, rub the surface with 0000 steel wool, wipe off the dust, and wipe on a second coat of Teak Oil with a cloth. Once dry, this should be enough. If you want a higher gloss, apply another coat. Maintenance: The renowned Briwax finish can be maintained by further applications, giving increased hardness and shine. 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. Once it's dry, rub the floor lightly with a fine sandpaper (about 320 grit), and wipe off the dust. You can apply the second coat either neat or thinned up to 50% with mineral turpentine, again making sure that you don't leave too much on the surface.

With very hard woods you can thin down the oils 10 to 15% with mineral turpentine to give better penetration. On Matai and Totara, apply Briwax Sanding Sealer first, which will stop the acids in the wood affecting the oil. Also use Shellac Sanding Sealer on customwood (after staining but before oiling) to prevent the oil reacting with the resins in customwood and giving off a lingering odour. Once you've finished your furniture with Danish Oil, you can create a deeper sheen on surfaces that aren't likely to get wet by applying a coat of clear Briwax Original Wax over the top. The two different finishes create a beautiful depth to the shine. A professional appearance, improved shine and more durable finish can be obtained by sealing the wood. To achieve this, brush along the grain with Shellac Sanding Sealer before using Briwax Original wax polish. Product Application: pply to the surface with a soft lint free cloth or 0000 Steel Wool working with the grain. Once dry, buff with lint free cotton cloth to achieve the desired finish For a guide and comparison of our wax polishes, have a read of our blog, Wax Polishes, Which Should I Use?

Whether the floor is new or old, make sure the surface is clean and sanded smooth. The better finish you start with, the better the final result will be.

For more details on how to apply Danish Oil and Teak Oil to a floor, see the How-To artice Protecting a Floor with Danish Oil. When the surface becomes worn, you can restore it very easily. Wipe the floor with mineral turpentine, and apply another very thin coat of Danish Oil. This will renew the original finish with very little effort. Danish Oil gives a flat natural look to the timber. If you apply two further coats of Briwax Teak Oil over the first coat of Danish Oil, this will give you a gloss finish. 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.

The kitchen cabinets were in pretty good shape. They were generally free of dings, but some did have a few scratches. The bigger issue was that they were dull and dirty, and the finish had been worn down or even off in some places (like where they were grabbed to be pulled open). I also wasn’t in love with the orangey tone of them. So, enter Briwax. 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.

Although there is very little Teak in New Zealand, there is a great deal of a similar wood – Rimu. Teak Oil also gives a great result on other common woods such as Kwila and Kauri. You can mix the spirit-based dyes to achieve almost any colour. Even if you've already applied some dye, you can apply another colour and they will mix together. Briwax spirit-based dyes are based on methylated spirits, so you can lighten the colour by adding methylated spirits. Because they are a dye, not a stain, Briwax Spirit-based dyes don't create ‘tide-marks’ when they dry. You can wipe over the existing dyed area with more dye, and you won't be able to see the join. Danish Oil goes a lot further than most finishes. As a guide, we find that a 5 litre tin of Danish Oil is enough for four coats on about 30 square metres of flooring. The first coat uses around half of the oil, and the subsequent coats are much thinner, because the wood has been sealed by the first coat.
