Fiddes Satin Finish Hard Wax Oil 250 ml, Clear

Super quality. Great finish on the tester I tried. It just gave the paleness of the pine a touch more colour without giving it that horrible pine yellow colour so many stains and varnishes do. The finish is just slippery enough to allow your hand to slide over as you use it but has a slight sheen to it that gives your hand a bit more purchase when you need it. I was going to apply it using a brush but decided to use a lint free cloth. I'm glad I did. The 2 pictures are of my test pieces. The long one is plain bare pine and the short one is the treated one. I can't say how the colour looks on here but hopefully it will be near enough for you to see the subtle change in colour. The only negative is the price, ouch!

Used this to wax my new bare pine floors. I used one coat of colour with a coat of clear on top. It’s easy enough to put on, albeit a bit messy (wear plastic gloves!) once you get the hang of brushing it on and wiping off the excess, and the finish is good. It also seems to have good water repellency as I’ve spilt water on it when watering plants etc and another time the dehumidifier overflowed, and the water just sits on the surface and doesn’t seem to soak through the wax, which is very good news for me, as my (old) house is damp enough as it is! It’s been down for about a year now and I can’t see any deterioration in quality of the finish yet. Very pleased with this product, it’s worth the money!

I watched a video on YouTube as my 30 year old worktops needed completely taking back and I wanted hard wearing, good quality seal. This was recommended on the video and decided to go with it. It is easy to apply with a good quality paintbrush and dried quickly. I needed to do 3 coats but that was because I wanted to fully protect it after all the hard work of sanding back to bare wood.. It is clear and dried to a soft waterproof sheen. I love it. It's expensive for the 250ml it's well worth it and it goes a long way. No more Danish or tung oil. Will be buying more for my dining room table and chairs.

Easy to use. Good results on oak banister hans rails.

I have a wooden worktop in the utility room which looked tired. It is about 2mts by 600mm with a Belfast sink at one end. I bought two tester pots and only needed to just over half a pot to evenly cover the surface. It dried very evenly overnight and looks good. Applied with a 25mm paint brush. I can tell that the finish is hard and will be durable. Only needed one coat after a light sanding to get the walnut colour.

Refurbishing my solid worktops I had used varnish before as I thought it would be harder wearing, but it was flaking off. I striped back all the vanish sanding thoroughly and applied this. I'm very pleased with the result it's brought out the different shades of wood beautifully, it's waterproof. I would say follow the instructions exactly. Also coverage is very good

This was fantastic. I struggled with other oil and also a ronseal product that was water based and had lost hope till finding this product. After sanding down my kitchen oak worktop and applying two coats of this oil it now looks like new. I have left it a few months before completing this comment to highlight that it is wearing very well also. I would definitely recommend this product. 👍

Having read great things I bought some for my oak kitchen worktop... five layers later it is still not very water resistant... Looks lovely however so I'll keep layering up. Y issue is the need to brush on and wipe off ...so as not to create stickiness.. it does achieve this but it really does take forever and is pretty wastefull. I'm hopeful that a few more layers will dot he trick. It will however make it poor value as with all the wipe on wipe off... It doesn't go as far as you'd hope.

I love our new floors!

3 stars because the product is good but the label instructions can be followed leading to a poor result. Using this product as described only works if you use your brush to push a wet edge down the length of only a few boards at a time. The product cures quickly and any wet edge left for any period of time will make a noticable blemish on the floor. So the lesson here is if applying with a brush, push your wet edge from wall to wall along the boards length.
