FAQS:

Follow the Right Sequence: Always clean the surface before applying product. Next, apply oil-based finishes before wax finishes.
Apply Multiple Coats: For new constructions, apply at least two coats of oil-based finishes for the best results. We recommend our handy Oil Calculator for estimate quantities!
Consider Grit Levels: Apply finishes to sanded surfaces between 220 - 800 grit, increasing grit as you build coats.
Smooth Surfaces Shine: Higher sanding grits result in a smoother, shinier surface, with finishes ranging from matte to semi-gloss.
Use Non Abrasive Pads or Cotton Cloths for Waxes when buffing oils and waxes.
Allow Proper Cure Time: As a general guideline, you should wait 12 - 24 hours between coats and after the final coat; For new, unfinished items, wait 1 - 2 days; For furniture, allow 2 - 4 weeks for proper polymerization. Note that these wait times vary depending on factors such as your choice of finishing product, the material you’re using, even the environment and ambient temperature/humidity.
