How to use
Preparation
Remove old waxes and dirt with Liberon Wax and Polish Remover if necessary.
Application
Apply Black Bison Fine Paste Wax sparingly with a cloth on a delicate / French polished surface or with ultra fine steel wool (Liberon grade 0000) when a deeper penetration is required. Allow to dry for 20 minutes, or until touch dry, and then buff with a clean cotton cloth or furniture brush. Repeat the operation on new or very dry wood as it may require two or more coats. For a better finish buff with a Liberon Furniture Brush once the last coat has dried.

RECIPES
So now, back to the best part of this wax- you can color it yourself to create Liming Wax and Dark Wax! There's no need to buy several cans of wax with a few simple recipes.
For DARK WAX:
Mix a heaping tablespoon of LBBW with a teaspoon of your favorite wood stain. (Water based stains will not really work) I use Minwax stains. To get the popular dark wax color- use Minwax Dark Walnut. You can add more or less stain to get the level of antiquing you want. Other colors to consider- Weathered Gray, Ebony and Java
For LIMING WAX:
Mix a heaping tablespoon of LBBW with a cream or white chalk based paint. I use van Gogh Cashmere if I am going over darker colors. It's a softer creamier white. a teaspoon of Van Gogh Halo or Chalk for lighter colors.
HOW TO APPLY
I use a stiff bristled brush with just a small amount of wax on the tips to apply LBBW. I use circular motions. If I am doing a chair frame I can wax the whole chair and wait a few monutes for it to harden and then buff with a papertowel- yup just a papertowel. The cheap stiff ones work best too. If you want a more shinier finish you can use 0000 steel wool.
