I have an unfinished oak table, I love the color of the oak, therefore will this wax discolor or tint the natural oak color?

I just used it a few days ago on an unfinished wooden bench outside my condo door. It brings out the natural beauty of the wood, makes it look healthier, and adds some moisture, but it does not discolor or tint it. Beeswax has been used as a natural furniture wax for many years. This wax is great!

In my experience, it is transparent and only brings out the natural shades if the wood. It comes off naturally and doesn't seem to penetrate so much as coat

It will darken it to the same extent as an application of lemon oil, if you've used that. Oiling or waxing always makes wood appear just a hair darker, but it brings out the luster and wax protects the surface somewhat. It doesn't discolor or tint, particularly.

I used it on a really old dresser, and the wood loved it so much it soaked it all up and I had to do it again to get the shine. But, no, it did not change the color at all except to make it look a bit deeper due to the moisture. I love it! :)

Hello! I don't really know the answer to that. Here is what the tin states: "Daddy Van's is chemical free, and it's perfect for caring for your wooden kitchen cabinetry. Made with unrefined beeswax, carnauba wax, olive oil and pure essential oils, this paste wax nourishes and protects as it cleans, giving fine furniture and cabinetry a rich deep glow." They have a website and I would contact them and ask. It is: www.DaddyVans.com. (no apostrophe in the van's and the D and V are upper case.) I hope this helps! :)

I can tell you the dark oil is VERY dark. I have never seen red oak flooring, however, I looked it up on line... My opinion would be to use the light one. Unless you are looking to darken the grain of the flooring, then you could use the dark and try to darken it. It you are looking more for blending, polishing, shining, I'd go with light.

It's stained and looks good the way it is. Natural cedar doesn't usually have this reddish color to it, almost like a pecan. Would be a good idea to spray a non-gloss sealer over it, however.

The fillers can be pre-mixed on a clear surface (piece of glass or plastic) to see the mixed color. Or you can apply to the repair area, the lighter shade first then apply a darker color to mix in the damaged area. The waxes can be remelted when applying an additional color stick. Thanks'

It has turned both pine and hemlock a beautiful silvery brown so I would assume it would have the same effect, maybe with a reddish tint. What it does is give the wood a weathered, aged look.

YES, I rebuilt an oak park bench and treated the oak with Copper Coat, allowed it to completely dry (a week)and applied the oil sealer/ stain. Be aware, the color of the stain will be affected by the green color of the CC. Pre-test!

I applied it to a bee hive lid that had been stained some time ago. It soaked into the wood (I guess where the stain had not been applies well). The stain had a green tinge to start with and it took on a nice mottled look.

I'm not sure what you mean by "is it permanent". It is not like a wax finish that you have to re-wax later down the road. It is a hard finish. It has a matte finish look. I love this oil finish. I build furniture and I have customers that only want this finish used on their furniture. I hope this helps.

This is the color of the natural redwood. However, you may want to seal it.

It dries to a sandable state in a half hour. It dries to what the industry calls "natural" which is a sort of pine yellow. It claims to be stainable but I've found that it doesn't take light stains well. Maybe a dark walnut or such?

Hi, I am an owner of a furniture restoration company and I have worked with a lot of different types of woods and finishes. As far as pine is concerned, truthfully you never wil truly know what you are going to get when you finish it. I have always found that I would get different shades if yellowing when a finish is applied to natural pine. Some are this amber or yellowing finishes are desirable. As far as the birchwood Casey product. The is a very good finish that is above average for its application and above average for desired finish . But, yes if it is applied to pine it will yellow out. But, this is the woods reaction to finish. I have not witnessed a yellowing because of age with birchwood Casey products. Further, If it is your desire to use an economical type of wood, that has a similar but tighter grain, I would recommend you check out hemlock

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.

We use it on our solid oak floors. It is basically colorless after buffing, only leaving a "glow". Have had no problems.

I would lightly sand it or use liquid deglosser before staining it with the Java stain. The java gel stain is very opaque and with 3 coats on my project, it was very dark and did not show any of the original stain color (golden oak) underneath it. I used 3 coats of java and 3 coats of semi-gloss top coat.

If it is truly bronze, yes. If it is a cast resin imitating bronze then there is possibility that the solvent in this wax could strip away the finish/ paint layer.

As far as I can tell, the answer is yes. I knew this as simply "Butcher's wax" and used it for wood finishing. The amber wax has a slight yellowish hue. Bowling alley wax is clear. The amber wax is somewhat softer than I remember it and takes more polishing to dry. It still provides a hard protective finish over varnish, etc.

Yes. I have 90 year old mahogany floors that are unfinished. I stripped the old wax off the floors then applied new stain to the floors followed by Rejuvenate. It smooths out the imperfections in the old floor and looks great. It is holding up quite well but I did notice that dripping anything acidic on the floor (vinegar, lemon/lime juice) leaves a small whitish spot on the floor. I assume this is due to the liquid reacting with the Rejuvenate.
