I waited 24 hrs for it to soak in. Then I used a wood stripper on it because mine was sticky. Then I used odorless mineral spirits to clean up the residual wood stripper, then I washed all that w/denatured alcohol and let that dry until there was no sign of wetness on the wood (48 hrs). Also, to make sure the bugs were gone (they were) and then put a finish on it. The stuff works and u can paint after it but the wood has to be clean.

Needs to be totally dry, time depends on the temperature and exposure to sunlight. If in doubt, let it dry longer so primer and paint adhere properly.

I'm wondering if you coat with Water Seal before or after assembly. I want to be sure it gets assembled correctly before I do anything to it (in case of needing to return product) but I don't really want to take it back apart to water seal. I guess I answered my own question, but it would be great if any experts out there could offer some advice. The wood smells great!

If the wood you are painting is dark, by all means, put on a top coat. A lot depends on whether you want the wood to look white washed, and how white you want it to be. GOD Bless YOU! Jan B

No - the surfaces are oiled and probably the paint will not stick. The wood surfaces are beautiful - why would anyone paint it??

In my experience, water marks tend to fade over time. However, in some cases they don't. I would wait some time (3-4 months) before putting this on my personal self, just to give the moisture the time to leave the wood so you don't risk sealing it in. But that's just my gut instinct.

yes IF the wood is painted or sealed - always test, test, test before diving in and spraying anything that is wood. Never use it on unsealed wood as it will affect the wood and may result in an expensive fix or replacement.

when I applied the E.S.P, I waited until is was almost dry, then I painted over it. It was an oranges latex paint that simulated wood grain. I then applied a polyurethane stain. It sure beat sanding the woodwork, and then applying the stain

Sanded ready to finish wood. You'll have to either clear coat with some type of polyurethane or stain and varish. It's bare wood

If the wood is not smooth or if it has any peeling or splinters it would be best to sand it down to where it was smooth. Otherwise the new stuff would just peel, too.

I myself did. I just followed the drying time on the paint i used, which was about 6 hours. It might be better if you wait longer in humid conditions. The only problem i had was I used it over white paint and it yellowed some. Its not a problem since it was on a worktable. I don't know if the same thing would happen with other colors. I hope this helps.

This paint is thicker than usual paint. If you use it out of the can while painting, it becomes even thicker. Thus, the drying time between coats needs to be extended from the recommended time. I advise pouring into a small container & refill as needed while painting. The recommended time between coats is 6 hours at 50% humidity & 77 degrees. It will feel "dry" long before that but don't be fooled, it is NOT ready for another coat. New wood needs 16 hours wait after the first coat. I always wait at least 24 hours, advise a light sanding & wiping with a tack cloth between coats. Don't rush a job that will last 10+ years. This paint is thicker than usual paint.

It is unfinished wood, ready for you to stain or paint. I don't think they have been treated with anything.

It could be painted, although I don't know why you'd want to. The finish is beautiful. It is wood and you have to put the whole thing together, piece by piece, so if you wanted to paint it before you started, it would be a snap.

For best results it needs to be died out as much as possible. The drier the wood is, the more material will be absorbed. If the wood is wet on application the wood can't absorb the material and the treatment will not be effective.

All of the wood should be treated. Then let it sit 24-48 hours and you're in business!! Love this stuff...

It will not make it look new, so I would clean the wood first. After it is good and dry, use the beeswax generously and after applying a coat, wait a few minutes then buff with a clean, dry, rag that is white. It has a wonderful muted shine when used on wood furniture. To clean the crib, I might use diluted vinegar with dish detergent instead of Murphy's wood Soap. It has never done a good job for me on old wood. Anyway, that's my two cents. I just love the Van's Beeswax.
