I can use this in place of the expensive wax recommended when distressing furniture? Looking for waterproofing?

There is no water proofing out there, that I know of. But, yes, this will help "repel" water to some degree. And it is just as good as any of the more expensive waxes out there for distressing-that's what I got it to do. I just don't like the fact that it's a solvent, comes with warnings and hazards-and has a strong solvent odor, as well. But they all do. And it dissipates, over time.

Don't think this is the product your needing. This won't protect from cracking more. It will protect some moisture getting in;since its wax based.

Yes it will pretty much outperform a cleaner wax in this regard. Rub it in till it squeaks and enjoy the finish. There is no wax, teflon or silicones to my knowledge so you may want to use a finish coat of your favorite brand such as Maguiars Gold Class Carnuba Plus.

Hello Katrina...I haven't personally used it but I was recommended to use "Goof-off"... You can find it at any home depot.I would suggest you try the product on hidden section of your furniture to ensure no damage is done to the furniture as you apply it.Sorry for the delayed reply and good luck.

I'd certainly [google] on using the tung oil on floors. I just use it on furniture.

Having finished furniture myself, I would think that you would want a product meant for furniture. May I suggest that you use Minwax Wood Conditioner if you are going to stain and poly your dresser. Watco Danish Oil is another good option, it comes in clear or natural and a variety of other colors. It penetrates and seals the wood just by wiping on and off like a stain and you can use a poly urethane over it if you like. Teak oil is another option. These products are available at paint, hardware, Home Depot or Lowe's stores. I've found that paint store personal are the most helpful and knowledgeable about these products or look them up on their websites. Hope this helps.

This product is specially formulated for use with cedar but can be used on redwood, teak or any other outdoor wood furniture.

My furniture guy used turtle wax (clear) on our table. Let it dry overnight, then applied the briwax.

I use this to apply the wax or compound (I compound the gel coat on our boat) and rub off by hand.

I used a mild soap and water solution followed by a light coat of teak oil. You could also use a good quality furniture oil. I happen to have a boat and so have teak oil at hand.

Yes, I mod podged my images onto them. You could also spray with acrylic sealer. Either of those would affect the absorbency though. Would keep the wet off your furniture,but you might have moisture on the coaster. Mi used for non coaster art projects.

I don't think this is the best choice for that particular job--you're going to need a different product altogether to protect a wood surface exposed to direct water and humidity in a bathroom.

No, Briwax is for use on inside furniture. If I was to wax outside furniture I would use a silicon base car wax. There is several available. Hope this helps.

Yes definitely take it down to the grain of the wood and you'll get a whole lot better product. If you don't then Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax furniture polish won't be able to penetrate into the wood, all you'll end up with is a sticky smear on the surface of your furniture. If you do take off your old polish you'll see Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax bring out the beauty of your furniture.

It might be usable, but difficult and expensive. The sticky back adheres well to smooth wood. A wax would be cheaper, but would have to be reapplied every so often.

Depends on how hard you want to work. A Paste Wax is great when you are really feeling ambitious. Liquid Wood Floor Polish is good for a quick fix. I Love My Koblenz!

never used otter wax---this is not made for waxed jackets as far as I know---I did waterproof a british SAS smock with it that is all cotton
