Best Practices

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust before application.
Use soft brushes, cloths, or sponges for even application of creams or waxes.
Test finishes on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area before full application.
Apply in thin layers, allowing adequate drying time between coats for optimal results.
