  • For metal, Briwax acts as a seal to prevent metal tarnishing. Use Briwax on wood surfaces and furniture to achieve a different color of wood, as well as to protect it. Briwax can be used on unglazed ceramics to achieve a glazed appearance. Different Briwax colors can be used to enhance detail on carved objects. Briwax can also be used safely over painted items to achieve an attractive luster.

    Briwax Use

    Too much wax can cause problems when extra buffing needs to occur, so take caution when applying the wax to any surface and wood in particular. This can be remedied by using a small amount each time you buff an area, and then buff it out until all of the wax is used up. A small amount should be measured visually, around one tablespoon. Open the Briwax container. The green lid is solely meant for shipping safety and other production matters. Throw this lid away after you open the can, and store Briwax leftovers with the metal lid only. Always test a small area first, especially if this is your first time using Briwax. Using a disposable cloth, or a cloth you don't mind getting stained, take a finger tip-sized amount out of the jar. Apply this to the inside of a leg or item you are waxing. Rub in circles until the Briwax seems to have "evaporated," leaving no oily residue or lumps of wax. The color of the wood will have changed, unless you are using clear Briwax. If you approve of how it looks, continue your work using a tablespoon-sized amount until the entire piece you are working on has been covered. The layer of Briwax must be extremely thin to achieve an attractive luster.
