This dye, known as a water based aniline dye, is produced by using a range of high quality, lightfast dye stuffs. It is compatible with most known finishes. The colors can be intermixed for color matching or new color creation. Apply with a rag directly to the wood. More applications will intensify the color.

After allowing the dyed piece to completely dry, an application of sanding sealer is recommended, prior to applying the final finish.

Briwax is the Final Finish - really!

Remember, Briwax can be used over almost every cured finish, including paint.

Briwax is the FINAL finish.

Think of the Briwax finish as the protective finish for your furniture. No matter what finish you have used, including paint, Briwax goes on TOP of that finish.

No other finish goes over Briwax.

No, not even paint is used over Briwax. NO other finish is used over Briwax.

Remember to use Briwax sparingly and to buff after each application. You’ll never have any wax build-up and you’ll end up with a museum quality finish that will enahance and protect your furniture for years.

Wax, then Buff

When you’re applying Briwax to your furniture, remember:

• Use Briwax sparingly. A little bit goes a long way.
• It is better to apply 3 or 4 LIGHT applications of Briwax in lieu of 1 heavy application.
• Always, buff after each application of Briwax. That’s right – wax then buff; wax then buff; wax then buff!!

Now you’re on your way to achieving a beautiful waxed finish to your furniture!

Briwax Over Paint

A few reminders about using Briwax over paint:

• Briwax may “lift” some of the paint – especially if the paint has not cured. You make like this look – a more rustic, antique look. Decide the look your going for prior to starting your project – don’t jump into the project without having a goal!
• Always, always have a test board for your project! This gives you the opportunity to experiment!
• If you want to age your painted piece without “lifting” the paint, make sure that the paint has cured. This means that the paint has entirely dried. Wait a day or two before applying Briwax. Apply Briwax in an inconspicuous area to make sure that there is no lifting of the paint.
• If you have allowed your painted piece to cure but you still want some areas where it looks like the paint has been “rubbed” off, simply lightly sand those areas. Then apply Briwax.
• Milk paint is a very hard paint and Briwax will have very little “lifting” effect. Milk paint will almost always need to be sanded to achieve a worn look. Milk paint was used on the chairs in this photo.

• Light Brown Briwax is an excellent color to use over paint because it gives a soft aging color and a lovely sheen. If you need only sheen, use Clear Briwax. If you want a darker antiquing look, use Tudor Brown or Dark Oak Briwax.

Coverage of Briwax

Many folks have asked us about the coverage they should get with Briwax. Here is a way to figure the coverage that you should get (note: everyone uses too much!).

Whatever you are about to use Briwax on, whatever kind of surface a simple rule to follow is this. If you put a high powered microscope on the surface and took a look in it, what you would see would look pretty much like a kitchen sponge. See the pores? That’s where the Briwax is going to go.

A formula for figuring the amount of Briwax you will use in this case is the following:

200 sq. ft / pound of Briwax (appx. 85% of pores filled) 1^st application.

400 sq. ft./pound of Briwax (appx. 95% of pores filled) 2^nd application.

500 sq. ft./pound of Briwax (100% of pores filled) 3^rd application.

• Also, 400-500 sq. ft / pound will be your maintenance for the life of the piece.
• Pine is the most difficult to wax to a beautiful sheen but is also the prettiest. Pine almost always has to be waxed 3-4 times to develop that lovely patina…but it is worth it!
• Oak, Maple, Birch and other hardwoods will develop a sheen on the first or second application.

Now, say the surface you are about to wax has a varnish or paint on it. Look at the sponge the same way, only now mentally wrap it in a clear wrap (Glad, Saran etc.)

This is a way to visualize a “film finish” on any surface, be it varnish, paint, shellac, or lacquer. The film will keep the colored Briwax out of the pores so no wax will penetrate the film and you will get no color addition to the surface. Notice that if you have a scratch or a chip in the “film”, Briwax will fill in the opening and repair it for you. Remember Briwax loves a rough surface and will always try to smooth it over.

The formula for figuring the amount of Briwax you will use in this case is the same as above, only go immediately to the 400-500 sq. ft. /pound. One application will be sufficient.

Now is the time to be getting your home ready for the Holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before you know it! So, now would be a good time to use your Briwax to get your furniture, floors and kitchen cabinets in their prime condition for all of your holiday company!

Also, have you thought about the perfect gift for the Woodworkers in your family – think about getting them three cans of Briwax – Clear, Light Brown and Dark Brown – these three colors cover the whole spectrum! You’re sure to be a hero with these thoughtful gifts!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Marble Wax Update

We wanted to let you know that Marble Wax will no longer be available. However, have no fear, there is a substitute! Use Clear Briwax.

The decision to discontinue Marble Wax was primarily due to the difficulty in using the product. Marble Wax is an excellent product, but the high concentration of carnauba wax makes application and buffing quite a chore.

So, now use Clear Briwax where you would have once used Marble Wax. Briwax is a blend of Beeswax and Carnauba wax. You’ll find Briwax very easy to apply and to buff to a beautiful sheen.
