Valmour recommends to proceed according to the following steps:
1 - Staining :
This is an optional step depending on your taste: you can use the following products:
- Nut Husk LOUIS XIII which can be diluted with water to obtain all the different colours of wood,
- Woodwork Stain LOUIS XIII, which is a hydro-alcoholic stain available in particular in pastel shades.
2 - Preparation :
Afterwards, it is absolutely essential to treat the base to fix the stain, protect the wood and facilitate the finishing. Apply an even coat of Acrylic Wood Finish Louis XIII with a large Brush, to obtain a beautiful satin shine.Easily applied in one or two coats.
3 - Finishing :
- traditional waxed finish : apply an even coat of De Luxe Paste Wax Polish LOUIS XIII with Cotton Stock LOUIS XIII or with a large Brush (shorten the bristles to add rigidity), preferably in 2 thin coats rather than one thick coat. This traditional formula dries quickly and gives a very pleasant scent. Let dry, then shine with a wool Cloth or with a floor polisher.
The Louis XIII line also includes a wax formula richer in pigments and waxes, available in liquid :De Luxe Liquid Wax Polish LOUIS XIII and paste : De Luxe Wax Polish Louis XIII paste. It is the wax of the antique dealers, ideal for a renovation or a first waxing.
