Floor Waxing Oor: All antique Furniture will require waxing during its lifetime. Waxing feeds, protects and nourishes the wood. It is the combination of waxes with natural grease and oxidation that forms the surface patination that is so desirable. Over the generations, various types of wax have been used, with workshops producing their own secret recipes.
One of the most common misconceptions is that the more frequendy a piece is waxed, the fuller the finish will be. Over-waxing will result in smeary surfaces, since wax softens wax.

If a Floor waxing protective shows Signs of dampness, it is important to deal with it. A minor case of rising damp might be cured by coating the Floor waxing protective with a special latex waterproofing compound, but a Floor waxing protective that is really damp will have to be dug up and replaced with a new concrete base, damp-proof membrane, and screed. If the damp is simply the result of moisture condensing on a cold surface, this usually clears up when the Floor waxing protective covering is laid.
