Briwax 400g Wax Polish - Dark Oak

Product Information

Hi Linda, I’m honestly really not sure which color of wax to use if you don’t wish to make them darker. I went ahead and gave my old gold pulls a spray paint oil rubbed bronze update while I was at it since they were raggedy and unsightly from age anyway. Even after cleaning, some were still a little grimy (like the ones over the stove), but the Briwax even took care of that.

You can really pack it in there by heating the surface with a hair dryer before and during wax application, then buff. If you are trying to put pulls on a drawer with a single hole in the middle, perhaps look for cup pulls or pulls that will mostly hide the hole once it is installed. My kitchen cabinets didn’t have any handles to being with, so this was the perfect time to add some. To keep the finish clean and not look distressed, I was sure to get the grooves cleaned out, running my fingernail or a butter knife covered with the cloth in the crack to get out any excess wax.I'm using a combination of mineral oil, turpentine and beeswax to finish my cherry and walnut end tables and I want them to be extremely smooth when I'm done.

We had our cabinets refinished a few months ago and now we’re looking into DIYing the cabinets in our laundry room.

Read how she went from overwhelmed and burned out to a thriving and motivated stay at home mom on the about page. Working days are defined as Monday-Friday 8am-7pm inclusive, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. 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). Even if it did wear down in the areas that are touched or handled a lot, it wouldn’t take long to rub and buff some wax in. However, it would probably be a good idea to finish with a clear wax coat just so that there would be very little chance of any stain coming off onto clothing.

I actually had better luck where the finish was more worn, so it may be just what your cabinets need. We have the typical 90’s golden oak cabinets, but they’re in great shape and I cringe at the thought of painting them. I wondered if you’ve had any other experiences with the wax on other projects since your original post… thanks!I’m a little nervous about this, especially worried about accidentally getting the wax on the ceiling or walls.
