Understanding Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors

Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors are a unique blend of natural oils, waxes, and pigments, designed to penetrate deep into the wood, providing a durable, long-lasting finish. The 'hard' in the name refers to the high wax content, which gives the finish its robustness and ease of maintenance. The 'oil' part signifies the natural, non-toxic base that allows the wood's beauty to shine through.

Durability: The high wax content provides excellent resistance to water, alcohol, and household chemicals, making the finish ideal for high-traffic areas.
Easy to Apply: The colors can be applied by brush, roller, or pad, and they're self-levelling, ensuring a smooth, even finish.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of woods and applications, both interior and exterior, including floors, furniture, and joinery.

Applying Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors

Applying Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors is a straightforward process, but preparation is key. Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper, then wipe clean with a tack cloth. Allow the surface to dry completely before application.

For the best results, apply the color thinly and evenly, using a natural bristle brush or a lambswool applicator. Allow each coat to dry for at least 12 hours before lightly sanding with fine-grit sandpaper and wiping clean. Repeat the process until you achieve your desired level of coverage and color intensity. Once fully dry, buff the surface with a soft cloth to reveal a beautiful, durable finish.

Caring for Your Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Finish

Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors are designed to be low-maintenance, but with proper care, your finish will last for years. Regularly clean your surface with a mild, ph-neutral cleaner and warm water. For stubborn marks, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.

In case of heavy wear or damage, spot-repairing is possible. Lightly sand the affected area, clean, and reapply the color. The beauty of Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Colors is that they allow you to touch up and maintain your finish with ease, ensuring your wood surfaces always look their best.
