How to tackle unsightly heat and water marks

Tackling water or heat marks that have spoilt a piece of furniture is easier than ever, thanks to woodcare expert Liberon.

Liberon Ring Remover

First, choose Liberon Ring Remover, which is suitable for use even on highly polished surfaces, including French polishes, lacquers, varnishes and modern hard finishes. Shake the container well before use, then apply with a clean, lint-free cotton cloth. Rub vigorously over the mark, working with the grain, until the damage is removed. Finally, buff with a clean, dry cotton cloth.

For badly marked surfaces, Liberon Ring Remover can be applied using ultrafine steel wool (grade 0000), before buffing with a cotton cloth. It is advisable to test the product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area first to check compatibility and the final result.

Liberon waxes

Next, choose one of Liberon's waxes to protect and nourish the wood. Options include Beeswax, Wax Polish Black Bison Paste and Liming Wax, depending on the requirements of the project.

Beeswax

Designed to maintain and protect bare wood surfaces, beeswax penetrates the wood's fibres, helping to nourish and seal the surface while providing a durable, natural-looking shine. A traditional product with a distinctive aroma, Liberon's Beeswax is particularly suited to absorbent woods such as pine and oak, especially unsealed surfaces and furniture that has been stripped by dipping. It helps bring out the natural beauty of the wood, leaving a rich finish and a silky-smooth feel. It is available in Clear, Antique Pine and Dark Oak.

Wax Polish Black Bison Paste

Ideal for nourishing and protecting all types of wood, including lacquered and French-polished surfaces, this solid wax has a modern, hardwearing formulation. It feeds, polishes and protects while helping to prevent the wood from drying out. It also helps disguise marks and scratches. Highly lustrous and hard-wearing, Wax Polish Black Bison Paste is available in 11 colours and suitable for both antique and modern furniture.

Liming Wax

This versatile product transforms furniture with a whitewashed finish while retaining the natural beauty of the wood. Ideal for achieving a vintage or distressed look, Liming Wax can be used to create a limed effect on oak, elm and other hardwoods, as well as softwoods.

Additional waxes are also available for creating special finishes and effects, including Liberon Black Patinating Wax and Verdigris Wax.

Using the right, high-quality products helps achieve a right-first-time result that professional woodworkers can confidently stake their reputation on.
