Well...to be honest, I've really never used this stuff on nicer or antique type furniture. I originally ordered this to lubricate my screws when building projects. It helps to keep from splitting the wood. Now.....I have built some pieces of small furniture out of old barn wood and rubbed some of the beeswax on afterwards. It kind of darkens the wood and brings out the natural grain and color. It also helps protect the wood from moisture. I just wouldn't go as far to tell you to use it on your antiques in order to achieve what you're looking for. I would try and contact the company about your question.

If you use too much it will be sticky. Use a small amount. Be sure to use a clean cloth to wipe it off after spreading around.

I'd agree, you've likely been using too much if its sticky. This is normally used as a protective (from moisture) coating after the wood has been finished. Something that is most effective a piece that has been treated with an oil finish but never sealed with poly as the wax fills and closes the open wood grain.

If your furniture is sticky from the polish, you are using way too much polish...just a little dab will do ya! Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this particular polish if you don't want sticky, as I polished the heck out of the item I used it on and it was always sticky. I ended up sanding it off. If you want a very nice wax, get the Clapham's Wax. It's natural and buffs to a nice sheen.

I use mineral spirits & fine steel wool to strip my hardwood floors so would use the same on wood furniture. You can also "google" for how to strip paste wax from furniture and maybe get some other ideas that would work better for you.

I use lemon pledge but there are a variety of products to use. Google: preserving wood furniture.

with any product they will tell you to try it in a spot that wont matter so much if it strips off the varnish. will it strip off the varnish or finish? if it does it should be sold in a different catagory. like all cabinet finishes over time they start to flake and you wont see this until you wipe it away, same thing happens when you use an area over and over it gets dirty you clean it and your down to the wood nothing you can do about that put keep the cabinets protected with products like scotts furniture polish which is a good cleaner to boot

Hi Ingrid: The finish on my table seems impervious to nearly everything. When I clean it, which is not often, I've used Lysol spray, Windex spray and plain old soap and water.

I have the same problem. Like you I tried sanding. It helped a little but not very much. You might just want to resign yourself to living with the stains, not the end of the world. I suppose you could get it replaced but that might be a big project. Wish I could be of more help. To prevent the stains from getting worse, use John Boos Mystery oil regularly, it's good stuff. You can let it sit overnight which will help it get absorbed by the wood.

See no reason why you couldn't paint it...depends on what type of paint but I would probably fine sand it first. I didn't really notice an odor beside new furniture smell.

I have used it on stained wax finish and had zero problems but that does not necessarily mean yours is the same as mine. If I were you I would use caution and test it in a place on the back that is not seen in how you position the furniture piece.

Try scotch guard...it take the sticky off of just about anything. Do it in a test spot first.

Don't use any polish remover on it, it should be sticky to pick up images, can use sticky side of tape or sticky lint roller to clean it. Might help to build stickiness back.

I have not had any trouble. I use a good furniture polish several times a week to keep any liquid from going into the finish. It beads up the liquid for easy wipe up.

I put 1/8 cup in a standard spray bottle and filled the rest with water before spraying furniture down. I didn't see that it helped at all so I would maybe make it a little bit stronger than I did. Keep in mind that if it's to strong it has a bad vinegar smell though.

Depends on the extent of the damage. This product wipes on, shines the wood with a dark wax, but fill in dings beautifully -- they actually look good, like old English furniture. Large areas can be treated, then wiped and lightly polished. The result of this stuff on furniture is nothing short of amazing. I build furniture and use it on everything I make regardless of the stain color. And dark brown is the only shade I use. I know that 70's woodwork and Briwax might make it look more classic and like antique furniture. But if there are only a few dings a filler stick in the right color might be enough but wont give you the incredible sheen of Briwax. Hope this helps. Depends on the extent of the damage.

I think if you write the company they can tell you...I've used it on our finest antiques with no problem. I use Doozy or Murphy's oil soap wood cleaner on our kitchen cabinets that are oak. Hope this helps!

My experience has been that the polish sinks into the wood and does not cause a buildup. It depends on the finish of the wood. If its been varnished or has a clear coat hardener I wouldn't use this product.

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

I will not recommend use on furniture, some of the ingredients can damage the finish of varnished wood.
