Product Description
Renaissance Micro-crystalline Wax - the world's best protective wax?
15ml Sample Pot of Renaissance Wax Polish.
This is a microcrystalline wax polish which is not just used by jewellers and artists, it's a heavily used product in antique restoration and museum conservation around the world. Renaissance Wax was developed in the British Museum Research Laboratory by Dr A E A Werner in the late 1950s.
Use on metal (silver, bronze, brass, copper, and more), leather, wood, polymer clay, ceramics, paper, and stone like marble and granite.
Protect metal from tarnishing, preserve patinas from liver of sulphur, great for those rainbow colours. Use the wax to prevent your tools from rusting. When thinly applied and rubbed out to full lustre, the wax film is (and remains) glass-clear, with no discolouration either of the wax or the underlying surface. Renaissance wax is free from acids (pH neutral) and will not damage even sensitive materials. For example, photographs for exhibition or of historic value are waxed to protect the image from the natural acidity of hand or environmental pollutants. The wax does not stain or darken even white paper.
The wax dries completely non-sticky and hard, and can be buffed to a clear silky smooth finish - it is virtually invisible. Unlike lacquers the wax will not leave a glossy shiny coating.
How do I apply it?
- You only need a very small amount to seal and protect.
- Apply lightly and evenly with a soft cloth.
- Gently buff with soft cloth
- When dried, buff with a soft cloth. Add a second coat if desired.
