Antiquarian Finish for Wood Panellings (Waxed)

Combined varnish and wax finish intended for furniture made of fruitwood (cherry, walnut...) or smooth grained wood (mahogony, beech...). It revives the grain and gives a finish with a nice satin shine. To enhance the shade of the wood, apply Woodwork Stain LOUIS XIII or concentrated Nut Husk LOUIS XIII.

Proceed according to the following three steps :

1- Base preparation : With the help of Cottonstock LOUIS XIII, apply a coat of Acrylic Wood Finish LOUIS XIII. Let dry for 4 hours, then repeat the operation. Afterwards let dry for 8 hours and finish by lighly sanding with Steel Wool LOUIS XIII N°0000. To accentuate the wood patina apply Judean Bitumen LOUIS XIII when dry.

 2- Base Filling : Apply 2 coats of Patina Gum Lacquer LOUIS XIII with Cottonstock LOUIS XIII with a 30 mn interval. If necessary, soften with Steel Wool LOUIS XIII between coats. Easy to use, great filling power due to the high resin content of the Patina Gum Lacquer. Use at a temperature between 18° and 20°C.

3- Finish : Apply an even coat of  Antiquarian's Patina AVEL with a Cloth or Brush. Let dry for 2 hours, then polish with a Tampico Brush LOUIS XIII and shine with a wool cloth afterwards. This finish protects the wood and gives a nice shine as well as a pleasant scent of turpentine.
