Antique Finish for Furniture (Waxed)

Combined varnish and wax finish intended for furniture made of fruitwood (cherry, walnut...) or smooth grained wood (mahogony, beech...). It revives the wood grain and gives a finish with a beautiful 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. Let dry for 8 hours and lightly finish with Steel Wool LOUIS XIII N°0000. After drying, you can accentuate the wood patina by applying Judean Bitumen LOUIS XIII.

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  Tinting Polish  Louis XIII Paste or Liquid (same quality but more solvented and therefore easy to apply), with a Cloth (and with a Brush for the reliefs and mouldings). 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 natural scent of turpentine.
