What You Need

First, mix 50 part shellac with a 50 part denatured alcohol.

Step 1

Use either a 6” china bristle brush or a lamb’s wool applicator to apply the mixture.

Step 2

After applying the first layer of the mixture, you need to buff the floor first before you apply another layer.

Step 3

In this step you will need to make the floor smooth. Use a 16”steel wool with a thick white pad for this.

Step 4

In using liquid wax, pour it out and use a rag that can hold a lot of wax.

Step 5

Apply the liquid wax parallel on plank floors and circular motion for parquet floors.

Step 6

Buff the wax and polish it with your desired sheen using a buffer.

Step 7

Now apply the second coating. After applying, buff it once again to your desired luster. Use a white flannel like rag to polish the floor further.

Step 8

If the floor is completely dry you can now move back your furniture. If it’s humid, leave the floor for at least a day before you proceed with moving your furniture back.

You can either use liquid wax or paste wax to coat

your finish floor, depending on your personal choice. Paste wax is thicker but

takes time to apply while liquid wax is thinner but smoother and easy to
