Oil Wax contains a combination of natural resins and waxes that together create a durable, water-repellent, water-mark-resistant finish and sealer. It dries to a smooth satin finish or can be buffed to a higher shine. It is non-toxic, all natural and low in VOCs, and dries to a hard, protective finish. One application is enough; there is no need to reapply over time.
Use Oil Wax over porous finishes such as milk paint or unfinished wood. It is perfect for everything from tabletops to furniture. Oil Wax is oil-based and amber in colour, and oil-based products can yellow over time, especially with exposure to sunlight. The maker has tested it over white milk paint without yellowing after four years, but use with caution over white paint.
Clean up with mineral spirits. Use at 70-80 °F (21-27 °C) to dry properly. Recommended for indoor use (water resistant, not waterproof). Coverage varies with the surface and number of coats: approx. 125-250 sq ft on porous surfaces and 250-450 sq ft on newer, less porous surfaces. A test patch gives a good indication of coverage.

Specific References
Milk paint dries to a matt, porous surface that can show water marks and wear. A finish protects the paint and deepens the colour:
Pure tung oil or hemp seed oil – penetrates, deepens the colour and gives good water protection
Wax – a soft sheen and a fine feel, but needs renewing
Oil Wax (Sweet Pickings) – durable and water-repellent, one coat is enough
Finishing Cream – a water-based protective finish that does not change the colour, gloss, satin or dead flat
Oil and oil wax make the colour slightly warmer and can yellow slightly on white surfaces. If you want to keep a light colour exactly, Finishing Cream is a good choice.
