Ingredients / Materials

Pure beeswax, talc for hardening.

Care & Use

Surface Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Beeswax
Filler Sticks should be used before any application of oil, wax or
lacquer finish.

How to apply:
The sticks can be melted a number of ways depending on the
application. Generally speaking, they can be easily melted with a
candle/lighter and dripped into the gap needing filling.
Alternatively, you can soften one in a microwave (test in
increments of a few seconds - it just needs to be malleable), then
the softened stick can be pushed into the gap. Another method
is to chip off the quantity required and melt it into the gap using
a heat gun or hair dryer. This needs to be done carefully as the
additional heat may affect the surrounding finish. Exercise
caution when melting as the wax is moderately flammable in
this state. In all cases scrape back any excess immediately using a
plastic spatula or credit card once before the wax hardens.

Dry Time:
10 - 30 minutes depending on ambient temperature.

Brand story

All Gilly's products stocked at Biome contain no petrochemicals.  They are made from plant oils, a natural solvent made from crushed orange peels, and some have beeswax.

Do I need an oil or a wax?

Oiling is the easy go-to, particularly if you don't require any sort of sheen or mechanical protection. Oiling moisturises the timber to stop cracking and warping. It is brilliant for wooden and bamboo chopping boards and grazing platters, or rougher timber as waxes tend to get caught in rogue fibres.   

Use Liquid Beeswax (a rich blend of plant based oils, citrus solvent and beeswax with a subtle citrus aroma), or the vegan Chopping board oil

Waxing is a more involved process, that gives an extra layer of protection to seal in the nourishing oils. First you oil to hydrate, allowing the wood to dry thoroughly, and then apply fine layers of the Food Safe Wax buffing and drying in between.

Use the two step process of oiling then waxing, to nourish and protect wooden and bamboo cleaning brushes and children's toys.
