Using Briwax
Use #1 -- Using Briwax on Metal
Briwax is excellent on all metals and actually forms a seal on the surface that prevents oxygen from tarnishing the metal.
Oxidation is simply the interaction between oxygen and the substance it contacts. Oxygen on a freshly sliced apple turns brown, a bicycle fender becomes rusty and a copper penny turns green.
Preventing the tarnishing of metal caused by the air we breathe calls for a layer of protection between the surface and the air. This means a coating of wax, polyurethane, lacquer or an anti-oxidant like lemon juice on fruit.
These photos of a rusted Hurricane Star show the effects of oxygen on the iron metal.
Then we wax right over the rust with Briwax to form a seal and prevent the air from reaching the iron.
Now this piece will never rust again until the wax is removed.
How about Using Briwax on Wrought Iron?
Ebony Briwax is beautiful on wrought iron. Yes, Briwax can be used on wrought iron!! If there is any rust on the metal piece, the rust will be sealed with Briwax to prevent any further oxidation.
When applying Briwax, if the wrought iron is rough, use sand paper with a LIGHT hand to smooth the surface.
Then buff to a beautiful sheen. That's all there is to it. Remember to use Briwax sparingly -- it is always better to make 2 light applications than one heavy application. Always buff between applications of wax.
Use #2 -- Using Briwax on Ceramics
An unglazed ceramic piece can be given a new look by waxing the piece with Briwax. Is the piece dull and you would like more sheen? Want to create an aged look? Look at these ceramic pumpkins in the picture below. All of the pumpkins looked dull, like the one in the foreground. The pumpkins in the group were waxed with Golden Oak Briwax - check out their sheen and enhanced color -- they almost look real!!
These bookend on the right was waxed first with Light Brown Briwax as the sealer, then Dark Brown Briwax to enhance the detail of the carving. The bookend on the left is unfinished!
Use #3 -- Using Briwax over Paint
Absolutely. Make certain that the paint is cured. Read the step by step method of taking an unfinished piece to a painted, distressed and finished piece. Of course, the final finish is Briwax.
Here's another example of Briwax used over paint:
Use #4 -- Using Briwax on Kitchen Cabinets
Briwax is an excellent choice for cleaning up kitchen cabinets. The inherent solvent in Briwax will clean off the grease and the wax will fill in the scratches and leave a wonderful beeswax film on the cabinets themselves.
The photo below shows two cabinets that the manufacturer gave us 15 years ago. We let one of the cabinet doors alone, we did nothing to it, and the other we waxed with Briwax Light Brown. As air dulls the finish (oxidation) of one door, the other door with the Briwax seal prevents the oxygen from reaching the finish and dulling it. The Briwax finish will oxidize (the beeswax will dull) in a few years but a simple buffing with a clean cloth will restore its lustre.
