Ronseal Beeswax Paste Medium Oak 400g

I bought the medium oak, it is easy to apply and I really like the final colour.

Does exactly what you want from the product and buffs up nicely. Gives a good colour and lasts a long time

Delivered on time & with care, but when tin opened to use product, it was half empty, had been used?? Bit disappointed. When original review done, had not opened tin yet.

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.

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.

Used it on bare wood for a shelf which I wanted to match up with furniture from Oak Furniture land. The medium oak colour was spot on! Simple and easy to use , would highly recommend this product.

bought for laquered table absolute waste of money

work's well lovely finish.
