*The R scale runs from R9 to R13, where R9 is slippery when wet, and R13 the least slippery. Floor surfaces that are classified by the DIN 51130 standard as R9 (or in some instances R10) will be slippery when used in wet or greasy conditions.

Application
- Ensure the wood surface is smooth, clean and dry before applying
- Use a good quality lint free cloth, brush or sponge roller to apply
- Apply two coats for best results on high traffic areas such as floors, kitchen worktops and dining tables
- Sanding between each coat is not always necessary but advisable for a smoother finish
*Rougher surfaces may increase the drying time and will require more applications to achieve a smooth finish.
Trade Tips
- On initial application, if possible, remove the excess hard wax oil with a lint free cloth as you apply it. This will help reduce the drying time.
- Unlike traditional varnishes our hard wax oil is not a viscous coating and will perform much better if applied in multiple thin layers as opposed to heavy single applications.
- Our hard wax oil is also very effective to use as a sanding sealer. Wipe it on bare wood and allow it to soak in for a few minutes. Then wipe away all the excess oil and allow to dry.
Approximate Coverage
500ml: 10m2
1L: 20m2
Drying Time
Our hard wax oil is made with natural ingredients. A single application will usually be dry in 8 hours. The drying time may extend in cold and humid environments.
* The best drying conditions are achieved by applying the hard wax oil sparingly in a warm, well ventilated room.
Sometimes commenting on a product is easy, what is there to say, Gilboys waxes are the finest that you can buy. This is no different. Total perfection, as usual. These are the only waxes that get anywhere near my furniture. They make finishing even more of a pleasure.
Haven’t used yet
The wax oil worked very well and really brought the 150 year old pitch pine wood to life.
My only criticism would be that after each coat there were tiny little lumps (wax?) protruding from the dried surface and these had to be sanded off before the second coat and the final polishing coat
Very good product transform’s the job in an instant would highly recommend Gilboys to deal with next day delivery and price very good for the results it delivers
I plucked up the courage to refinish my G Plan teak veneer dining table after watching Simon's YouTube videos. I bought the hard wax oil and the rose gold polishing kit. I decided not to do any sanding because I didn't want to risk going through the veneer and I honestly didn't expect to get anywhere near the results I did. Ring marks and fading gone - shine and colour restored!
I was looking for an easy to apply finish for a variety of internal woodworking projects ranging from simple ornaments, holders, frames etc to new and existing solid wood floors. I did not want it to signifcantly colour the wood, in most cases oak.
I found Gilboy's hard wax oil to be the right solution.
Application is simple, just prepare the wood (removal of existing finish by sanding etc), apply via a cloth, ensure to wipe off any excess and buff well. Where wanted, apply additional coats after a period of drying. I found that it only slightly darkens the natural wood colour; more applications will increase that a little.
There is no signifcant odour during or after application which I also find really important.
I have been really pleased with the results, especitally on a large extended solid wood floor where I added new wood to an existing ten year old area. The old wood was fully sanded and once oilded, the two have blended together superbly. I plan to apply multiple coats but even after the first coat the finish looks great.
In summary, a great product that I have no reservations in recommending.
Placed order on 17/03/2024 still not recieved as of today 01/04/2024. UPS attached document who have told me they have reported the damage to Gilboys. - Update Gilboys contacted me within minutes of review. Sent out a replacement tin of wax express next day and recieved very quickly. Extremely happy with Gilboys customer service and product, highly recommend
I moved into my cottage 3 years ago. Only just got around to restoring the wooden floor. Such a difference!
Having had experience using the Wax Polish I was never in any doubt that the Hard Wax Oil would be nothing but excellent. I’ve only used it on test pieces so I don’t have a photo to show off.
As I endeavour to make a living from furniture it’s essential to have products that I can rely on and Gilboys don’t disappoint.
So pleased with these products, which I ordered after watching Simon’s incredibly informative and interesting videos on YouTube. The products are beautifully presented, responsibly sourced and packaged and are a joy to use. Great results and easy to use. Who would have thought that polishing could bring such joy.
