How To Use Liming Wax on Furniture

There are so many creative tools you can use to update old furniture pieces. And you don't always have to repaint furniture to get a new finish or new look.
Liming wax is fantastic (and super easy) quick topcoat that adds age and depth with no paint required.

I really like to use it to update old pine furniture.
If you're tired of "golden" pine, and you'd like a more aged look, then Liming Wax is a simple way to create age and enrich your finish.

I’ve tried this technique not so long ago and I absolutely love it, very old world European look. This was a very helpful video full of great tips.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much! So glad you found it helpful :)

[@margaretrosin7853]

I did some old Mexican chairs like this and they look extremely old and beautiful. By the way, couldn’t help but notice how you styled your hair looks so pretty 😊

[@LostFoundDecor]

Awesome--I wish I could see them! And thanks for your sweet comment :)

[@MimiCreates1]

I can’t wait until you become more noticed! You’re amazing! I am just now getting into my journey of flipping furniture!

[@KanasPlace]

Exactly the information I was looking for as I am trying to use liming wax on my pine chairs. Thank you!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brandihawker]

You’re a lifesaver! I am trying to restore some chairs almost like yours. I looked forever for a video. Your’s was exactly what I needed!!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Fantastic! So glad I could help :)

[@heatherstacks6473]

You mentioned leaving the wax on for an extended time, but (unless I missed it) you didn't say whether you wiped of excess or just left it as is in the end. Wanting to try this technique on French Provincial cane back chairs. Thanks :)

[@LostFoundDecor]

Hi Heather! I do wipe it back after it dries just a bit :) I let it sit and dry some first though, or else it almost all wipes off.

[@Liv12130]

Do you not lightly sand the varnish off?

[@LostFoundDecor]

No, I did not

[@brastalialios9733]

Do you need to seal with a poly after the wax for it to stay? As in a dining room table? Or banister?

[@LostFoundDecor]

Wax is always your last step, so I would not apply a polyacrylic on top (it won't stick). Once the wax dries and cures, it will provide a nice, durable finish.

[@livinginbuckeyearizona976]

Does the stay on permanently or does it have to be reapplied periodically?

[@LostFoundDecor]

It stays on because it dries hard. Some areas that get a lot of ongoing, hard wear, may benefit from a reapply after some time

[@livinginbuckeyearizona976]

@@LostFoundDecor Right on, thank you!

[@artsiecrafty4164]

Why not sand the piece, or rough it with a wire brush first?

[@LostFoundDecor]

I didn’t want to leave any scratches on the wood :) Thanks for watching!

[@SamUel-nl4kp]

@@LostFoundDecor use a fine sand paper.

[@jaymelorentz2330]

Just watching this, question. After using the liming wax how long before I can use it? Planing to use on floating shelves to get a weathered look

[@LostFoundDecor]

I would wait about a week :)

[@villetteheimer8312]

Has anyone ever tried this product on wicker?

[@LostFoundDecor]

Is your wicker dried out? If so this will soak in and work beautifully! If it still has a gloss or finish on it, then you will have to dab it on and let it dry, similar to how it's done in the video.

[@villetteheimer8312]

Thank you! I'll give it a try.

[@dhicks1964]

Too far away; can’t see the detail

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks for your feedback! That helps me make better videos in the future :)
