TO USE-
-Calculate how much wax you need for your project based on wood species or surface material. Remember a little goes a long way, do not over apply! Apply sparingly with a non woven pad (rated equalto orjust higher than yourlast sanding grit) and work the wax into the surface using circular motions. The friction from the application process helps to loosen up and drive the wax into the surface.

-Once the finish has been thoroughly worked into the surface, allow itto set up for approximately 2 hours. For surfaces like leather, metal, plastic, stone, epoxy and concrete, you can buff off almost immediately after application. Do not allow the productto set for more than 8-10 hours,this may resultin a reapplication with Odie’s Universal Oilto reactivate the wax for a proper buff/wipe off.

-Now it’s time to Buff Off and remove any and all excess/residual wax from the surface until dry to touch. Take a clean terry cotton towel and scrub the surface clean, making sure to regularly flip to a clean section oftowel as it gets loaded up with oil. Switch to a clean towel if/when needed. If you can swipe a clean finger across the surface without leaving a mark, you are done!

-Most surfaces can be handled almost immediately and lightly used within 24-48 hrs. Please allow 3-5 days cure time before being subjected to standing liquids. -For non porous surfaces like epoxy resin, metal, stone and polished concrete much less wax is needed in the application process, please see coverage metrics.

TO MAINTAIN-
The only way to wear the finish away is to wear the surface away itself. If and when the time comes for some maintenance, whether it’s your floor, a countertop, tabletop or cutting board etc, simply clean the surface (check out to clean your Odie’s treated surfaces here) and apply another light coat of your desired choice of Odysseus Cornwall’s finish as per their instructions.
