The secretions of the glands found on the abdomen of the bee, known commonly as beeswax, have been used since ancient times for gluing, polishing and preserving wood. Research has shown that the planks which made up the hulls of Punic warships were treated with pure beeswax almost 2000 years ago to protect them from the corrosive effects of saltwater When slightly heated (max. 70° C) and in its pure form, beeswax can be used to penetrate and treat many types of wooden surfaces. Beeswax can be mixed with oil, alcohol or turpentine to produce a variety of polishing and cleaning pastes and liquids. A well-proven finish consists of a primer coat of linseed oil and single or multiple coats of a 1:1:1 mixture of linseed oil, turpentine and beeswax. Surfaces treated in this manner have a beautiful, satiny appearance, are relatively resistant to wear and can easily be retouched and refinished. Apply the wax solution in a thin coat and polish immediately. 0,5 kg bag
