Cambridge Traditional Products Beeswax Wood Furniture Polish and Beeswax Sticks Cambridge Traditional Product is the Natural Choice of Beeswax Polish. Suitable for natural woods and veneers, our beeswax furniture polish does not contain silicones, propellant gases or synthetic solvents. Silicones cause blooming on natural wood, whilst propellant gases and synthetic solvents are bad for the environment. This beeswax polish will help restore beauty to furniture from the past, whilst caring for, feeding, protecting and enhancing natural woods and veneers of today. We believe our ancestors knew more about caring for natural wood than modern chemists. So, they use an original, traditional 19th century Victorian recipe that was rediscovered in 1979 by Adrian Perkins, the Founder of Cambridge Traditional Products.  To this day, they faithfully follow that original recipe, using natural ingredients - mainly natural beeswax and natural turpentine. Natural beeswax and turpentine designed to feed and enhance wood Turpentine is a natural solvent, made from distilled pine sap, whilst white spirit is a man made synthetic chemical solvent and an artificial turpentine substitute. Our turpentine is tapped from organic gum trees without harming them. This natural turpentine is what feeds your wood, helping to maintain better quality results, over and above comparative white spirit based furniture polish. White spirit evaporates more quickly, drying out wood instead of feeding it. In addition this beeswax furniture polish is a cream rather than a paste. Using natural turpentine and a cream polish has the following benefits: Needs less elbow grease Does not produce unsightly build up, which gets caught in nooks and crannies, and sets like concrete A little goes a long way - this cream based beeswax polish is cheaper in the long run, when compared to pastes and aerosols This beeswax polish does not contain toxic and allergenic toluene  Uses: All natural woods such as oak, mahogany, beech and walnut Internal wood products - furniture, doors, windows and floors All wood veneers Antique furniture Furniture restoration, reviving natural wood and covering scratches Historic buildings such as pubs, churches, museums, and other heritage buildings. Colours Use the neutral beeswax furniture polish on light or dark wood. Neutral polish will not affect the colour of the wood.  The brown beeswax furniture polish is for medium to dark woods. Use it for: Even better scratch-cover properties than the neutral polish Revive distressed oak Darkening and 'ageing' pine Gradually staining light woods - the first application will darken the wood slightly, each subsequent application will darken the tone, and when the desired shade is achieved, you can maintain it with this neutral beeswax furniture polish. Sizes: 142g, 283g and 1.8kg Beeswax Sticks: Beeswax in its natural, solid form cannot readily be used for polishing furniture. But it has a whole variety of other uses, including: - In lace making  - In batik print making  - Easing the runners of stiff drawers  - In furniture restoration as a filler for cracks and holes  - In wood turning  - For waxing certain yarns in machine knitting  - Waxing thread to make it easier to thread a needle  - For easing stiff zip fasteners. Also see our Beeswax Zip Slip - Waxing woodworking saws and other tools to make them run more easily - Can be used to make Furniture Polish We often get asked about the Traditional Beeswax Polish ingredients because of the warning symbols on the jar. These warning are symbols are required by law because the product contains turpentine. The manufacturers have kindly supplied the following information about the product. About Cambridge Traditional Beeswax: Our Traditional Beeswax furniture polishes are made to an original 19th Century recipe. They are made from "natural" ingredients, although it is not possible to pin down a watertight definition of "natural" in the context of manufactured products. The principle ingredients of the furniture polishes are beeswax, turpentine and water, and these are clearly all natural: Beeswax is made by bees. What we use is exactly what the bees make. The only thing we do to it before using it to make the polish is to filter out the pollen, general dirt and the occasional dead bee. Turpentine is distilled pine sap. The sap is "tapped" from pine trees rather like latex from rubber trees. The trees are not destroyed in the process, and they are "farmed" in this way over many years. The other ingredients are soap, paraffin wax and, (in the brown version of the polish), dyes. These, perhaps, can lay less claim to being natural.  Soap used by us is entirely made from vegetable oils (no animal products are used). Paraffin wax is also in the recipe as this acts as a lubricant, and is one of the reasons why the polish is so easy to use It does not detract in any way from the full benefits of the beeswax. Paraffin wax is a petro-chemical product. However there are places in the world where it exudes naturally from the ground. On this basis one could perhaps claim it to be a natural product - but we don't! Dyes: Very small amounts of two wax-soluble dyes are added to the Cambridge Traditional Beeswax Polish - Brown to produce the colour. These dyes are not natural products. The neutral Beeswax Furniture Polish is made exactly to the original Victorian recipe. We have not attempted to change this in any way since our ancestors knew a great deal more about how to care for wood than today's industrial chemists do. However, the brown version, with the added dyes, is our own modification, produced in response to demand for a brown version. The hazard warning label on the Traditional Beeswax Polish is legally required because it contains turpentine. The wording of the label is legally required to be exactly the same as for neat turpentine. Turpentine is regarded as a hazardous substance for the following reasons: + Cambridge Traditional Beeswax Polish - Brown is flammable (although, in its diluted form in the polish, if you drop a lighted match on to the polish in the jar, all that happens is that the match goes out!) + Long-term exposure to the fumes from heated turpentine can cause lung damage. This simply does not apply in using the made up polish. + Contact with the skin can cause irritation in some people, so it ought be a sensible precaution to wear rubber gloves when applying the polish. Any residual turpentine on polished furniture completely evaporates off within 20 minutes of polishing. Many of the alternative solvents found in polishes are substantially more allergenic. + Cambridge Traditional Beeswax Polish - Brown is poisonous - so please don't eat the polish! + Cambridge Traditional Beeswax Polish - Brown is harmful to aquatic organisms - so if you should decide to empty your jar into a pond, stream or lake, you will undoubtedly kill some fish.
