Liming Oak

[mesured]

I have just made a table in oak. The table is to be used in the kitchen, so the finish on it needs to be tough.

I am thinking of buying some Liberon Liming Wax to produce a Limed Oak finish.

I do not know what I can put on top of this to produce a tough finish that will not show e.g. marks left by plates or mugs.

Would it be a good idea to apply Osmo hard Wax Oil? This is supposed to be tough. Could it be applied on top of the Liming Wax.[/b]

Hope this info isn't too late.

From my experience the only thing you can put over the top of liming wax is a clear wax. Osmo Hardwax Oil, is designed to be absorbed into the wood so this won't work.

One thing you could try (on a inconspicous area) is to seal it in with Transeal and then overcoat it with Aquacoat SP. After two days run a coin over the surface to make sure the coating has adhered to the surface.

I hope this helps
