Staining with Whittle Waxes colour Tones

The natural pigments, in which most are made of coloured clays, are reduced into a powder form and mixed with an oil base for easy application. When applied using the following application techniques, there should be no overlapping or applicator marks. Using natural pigments, which are colour fast, will enhance the grain of the wood and strengthen the colours. They can also be used to mask or accentuate the characteristics of the timber.

We propose a game of eight base colours which are all intermixable. The colours listed here above are the most currently used in stained wood surfaces, but you are not limited to theses colours alone. Here at Whittle Waxes in Ringwood, Victoria we are able to match and create colours unique to the individual client's needs.

All colours intermixable, we can create an infinite range of colours.

The drying time after the initial application will take between 12 to 24 hours depending on atmospheric conditions. During which time do not walk on the surface.

The floor should be tinted first with the pigment stain before applying the finishing coats of hardwax oil, to avoid wear over time of the colour.

If for some surfaces you do decide to tint the first coat of hardwax oil with our pigment stains, do not exceed 5% of pigment stain in the first coat. Do not tint the second coat to avoid wear of the colour.

We recommend that you use after the pigment stains your choice of the following products:

  • Treatex Traditional hardwax oil,which exsist in four sheen levels :Matt, Lustre, Satin, Gloss
  • Whittle Waxes Hardwax oil, Matt or Classic sheen
  • Whittle Waxes Object oil
  • Treatex Eco
  • Whittle Waxes One coat
