I am living in Malaysia where tools are horribly expensive. No planers. No miter saw. No bench top saw. He'll... No saw!! (just kidding) I want to make a somewhat cutting board table top island. I am thinking of adding dye and coffee and wood stains and other things to some to some cheap 1 by 2's on the on the long end of the green (not the wide end) but the 1" end. Then, I will glue them altogether - hopefully they will be straight! - and sand them down. Question : Will the stain penetrate enough that I can sand (a little) and still keep the color? After that I want to put in some - I think! - mineral oil, then top it off with Johnson's paste wax? Any thoughts?
Hi NC. Yes you can by using our pure gold polish. but I would advise applying a sealer first. The best way I have found to do this is by applying a single coat of hard wax oil first (matt or satin) The reason I suggest them is because they provide great protection and have barely visible effect on the surface. Unlike the thicker film coating alternatives like varnish or wipe on polyurethanes etc. Take a look at this video...ruclips.net/video/GYJeZbj7rME/видео.html I hope this helps Kind regards Simon
Hi thanks for the informative video. What is the recommended technique for removing water/heat rings (from a hot coffee mug) from a waxed finish kitchen table?
Hi. I would initially try gently warming the surface with a hot air gun. but being very cautious. You could also try using the warm iron and tea towel technique, but place a sheet of greaseproof paper on table first, then the towel. If none of this works you might need to re-wax the table. 🙂
could do with some advice. I stripped and waxed our pine kitchen table using a rustic pine wax.. it looks great but it marks and comes off quite easily. what can I use to 'seal' it. Any advice most welcome
Hi Keith. This may happen if the wood has a very open grain and isn't sealed prior to applying the wax. On a pine table it may catch on a knot but nothing to be concerned about. :-)
Hello.. I have a wood front door on my home.. it's Alder. I would like to clean it then apply a good clear natural sealer without discoloring the natural OFF WHITE COLOR of the door.. Any suggestions would be appreciated. THANK YOU
Hi Stateniand. I'm sure you will have carried out this task by now but if you haven't I would suggest using a good quality exterior oil such as Treatex. Then very lightly sand this down and apply a high quality car wax to it to help the waterproofing and achieve a natural waxed, water resistant finish.
Good vid just what i was looking for. But ... was the plum with the camera having one off the wrist whilst filming, it spoilt it Made me sea sick moving about and zooming
that's a very sweet video, the train got me : ) thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Xenia.
Thank you for all the helpful tips! I just ordered from the US!

Thanks for this video, it's a pleasure to see and hear your enthousiasm and your love of wood.

Great little video, thanks
Did your pet dog film this?
The camera man here is a hoot.. sees a train "screw this, I'm shooting the train" 😂
Thanks for the video!
Thank You. :-)
I’ve sanded down a secondhand dining table and really like the natural colour, Can I use your wax without staining first?

Hi. After sanding a pine table (from an organe/red varnish) what type of wax should I use to finish off for a lovely vintage rustic look please?
Hi Laura,
I Believe you messaged us on instagram, i have replied to you there.
which polish should I use on pine?
Hi Steve. If it is very light in colour I would use our Pure Gold. it's a colourless natural polish. ✅

why is the camera man in a different postcode to you?
Sorry. It was early days for us. We are furniture restorers and not trained in camera work. We hopefully have improved a little since. :-)
but doesn't the wire wool leave remains of wire wool on the table after rubbing it down?
Hi Keith. This may happen if the wood has a very open grain and isn't sealed prior to applying the wax. On a pine table it may catch on a knot but nothing to be concerned about. :-)
Could I use on kitchen worktop?
Hi Kurtis, i would not recommend using this on a kitchen worktop as it contains pure turpentine.
Shame about the poor camera work. Off putting unfortunately.
