Hard Wax Oil - help!

3 replies

TitsMcGeeee · 16/03/2019 11:08

Hoping to use a hard wax oil (Fiddes or Osmo) on sanded pine (1930s) floorboards. I want a natural look, but not "raw". I want to avoid the pine going too orangey, but I don't mind the light golden colour that pine goes (if that makes sense). Does using a hard wax oil keep it from changing colour if I was to go with a clear/natural version of the products I've mentioned. Have also looked and tested some of the 'tinted' hard wax oils but they look a bit dark/unnatural. It's so hard to tell though.

I read somewhere recently about someone using white tinted hard wax oil on their oak worktop to stop it going orangey. Not sure how it looks - I didn’t see a photo - but they seemed happy with it
