There is usually no problem with waxing the surface.Moreover, it is easy and pleasant to work with him. There are two methods of application, and one and the other are not difficult. The first option is suitable for those who have enough time and there is no rush. The second will be optimal for those who need to finish work very quickly.

After that, you need to wait a day, and if there is time, then two. The final step will be rubbing the surface with felt, which will give it an extra shine.
• In the second case, the surface is also prepared by cleaning and drying it. Apply a layer of wax with a brush, it should be thin. Then they are heated with an industrial hair dryer until completely dry. Only then is it rubbed to a shine with a clean, soft piece of felt.

If one layer is not enough, then first you need to let the first layer dry, then apply the second and, if necessary, the third. Between each layer, you need to take a break to dry, or use a hair dryer to fix the result. Of course, you need to follow basic safety rules:

• work in gloves and a protective mask;
• the room should be ventilated during work, but it is better to keep the windows constantly open;
• there should be no open flames nearby.

After that, the composition should be thoroughly mixed, and you can start working.
