Work the It In: Once applied, use a cloth to work the product further into the grain. This helps the liming wax to settle into the grain patterns, accentuating the wood’s unique character and texture. In addition to stain, liming wax is frequently applied to wooden floors and wall panels, offering a unique, whitewashed aesthetic that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. This whitewash application not only enhances the wood’s natural beauty but also provides the floor with a water-resistant finish that helps to protect the wood from damage, making it a practical as well as a decorative choice. In this article, let’s learn more about liming as a finishing technique and how to use this technique to treat something like pinewood. What Is Liming Wax?I added some pretty acrylic knobs. It makes me a little crazy that I spent as much on the knobs as I did the dresser! You may choose to sand if you have a sander. If you don’t have one, you can skip this. All my sander did was take off some dried Citrustrip clumps. Have you been watching the new Poldark series? Apparently I’ve been watching it way too much, because I had a dream recently about Ross Poldark. I love the look of the white wax settling into the crevices and when thinned with paint thinner, gives wood a bleached in the sun feel. You can even thin it with paint thinner for a more subtle look. I did not for this dresser. Materials Cerused oak is the most common species because it already has a strong grain pattern that shows easily. In fact, red oak doesn’t require any wire brushing or prep to get the look. White oak is also great, but the pores are smoother with a more subtle grain pattern.

You might see the paint from your homemade Liming Wax ball up a bit when you move it around. Just wait for it to dry and dust it off. It’s no biggie. It’s called Cerusing Finish (or sometimes Limed Finish), and it’s a process of rubbing a contrasting color into the pores of wood to highlight the patterns of the wood grain, similar to a whitewashing technique. If you have a piece of wood with a strong, visible grain to it – something like oak – you can really bring out this wood grain with liming wax. This isn’t a difficult technique to learn. You don’t need to bring out any paints – all you need is White Chalk Paint™ Wax, a Wax Brush and a lint-free cloth.

Liming is a technique that has long been used as a finish on exposed timbers, flooring and furniture. Especially as sometimes after stripping an item, the wood revealed may be disappointing. Liming wax has long been used as a finish on exposed wood. This method is especially useful when you want to improve the look of wood by lightening the grain. The result will highlight the grain while giving your timber a more uniform, aged appearance that can look quite expensive without much effort. Moreover, one of the significant advantages of liming wax is that it not only enhances the wood’s aesthetic appeal but also provides a water-resistant and durable finish. This makes this type of finishing product an excellent choice for pieces of furniture that might be exposed to moisture. For added stain protection and to achieve a longer-lasting finish, it can be used in conjunction with a clear wax. This combination offers a level of protection and durability that’s perfect for high-traffic areas or frequently used furniture pieces. Most Common Uses of Liming Wax
