BriwaxLiming Wax - 8 oz

Thinned down with mineral spirits to give antique look to wood furniture

One of my favorite things to do is home renovations and repurpose pieces. Please keep in mind that in the photo first photo above, I bleached my wood prior to applying the liming wax. The second picture presents the what the wood looked like prior to doing anything (left hand side of pic that looks like orange tones). To initiate the bleaching process, I used some foaming oven cleaner by applying it on the area thoroughly and letting it sit for 30 minutes. Then, I took a bucket of water and added some dawn dish detergent in it. With my scrubbing brush, I scrubbed off the oven cleaner with the dawn/water mix. Then, I sprayed it all down with my water hose. Once it dried, I took half Clorox and half water to penetrate the entire cabinet and let it dry in the sun (can repeat both processes to get desired outcome). Even after doing this, my cabinet still had a yellow tint (as you can see in the top of the first pic). I tried multiple different supposedly "clear" waxes from Lowes - It just seemed to turn it more yellow, which resulted in having to sand the area. I was AMAZED when I applied this stuff. Seriously, I will be a forever customer!!! I mean just look how beautiful it turned out!!

It is awfully expensive! I had bought a can several years ago for about $30 but when This can arrived it was half the size I expected! (Inflation?). But it goes on wood very smooth and buffs out beautifully.

Gives my cabinets a beautiful white washed look!! Pottery barn looks

If I can do this anyone can. I love this brand I used it on 20 year old cabinets . This liming product is awesome.

Sanded and used this product on an antique oak table. I love painted wood my husband likes natural. This was a brilliant compromise and we both love it.

I'm an amateur weekend DIYer and have now used liming wax for two different projects. I find that it is very forgiving and great for covering imperfections/mistakes. I especially love that it's a buildable product so you can achieve many different looks by either buffing more away or layering more product on. Things to be aware of are: drying/curing time, strong fumes (similar to paint), practicing your technique with various tools before attempting your project and being realistic about your finished look. This product is great at settling into "cracks" or grooves of furniture however it will shrink as it cures and could flake over time. Pictured is a plank wall we recently did in our nursery. The spacing between the boards wasn't as consistent as we would have hoped and you could see some of the original paint peaking through. It took about 2 cans of liming wax, 6ish hours and a lot of elbow grease to do the whole wall but we were happy with the finished product. I have not used another brand of liming wax but like the usability of this product.

Good product that made a china cabinet refurb turn out amazing and super smooth to the touch. The smell is very strong though so definitely be sure to wear a ventilated mask.

Really loved this product, easy to use and achieved the look I was going for on my outdated oak table. I wanted to lighten it up to achieve a more modern look. I only applied one coat and I think it looks great. Would recommend.

I was expecting a product that was more wax like. This is soft & creamy. I watched & read NUMEROUS tutorials & as always it looked easier than it actually was. Takes forever to dry & if you buff it off too early you would have to reapply the product. I am not crazy about this wax & did not find that it was worth the cost.

We liked it but there wasn't enough to cover the kitchen cupboards
