I saw that denibbing is recommended with fiddes hardwax oil, how do you do this for a large area such as a floor? Our premium cleaning and restoration products meet the highest professional demands yet are packaged and designed to remain easy-to-use for everyone. If you’ve chosen to use steel wool though, then you’ll want to use that dry, otherwise your steel wool will turn rusty! You don't need to apply much pressure at all while you're sanding - just go over it very gently, and do it in the direction of the wood grain, unless it's MDF or something that doesn't have a wood grain ofcourse.

Lots of professional finishers de-nib with just a coarse rag like Hessian, or use a bit of scrunched up brown paper. As I haven't done this before I presume that you just run a cloth or pad of sorts over the finish gently to give the silky smooth finish?

If it doesn’t that means that more denibbing is required, and after that if it still isnt smooth then it probably hasn’t been as sanded as well as it should of. I've done very little oil finishing, but with paint and varnish of any sort, on wood or metal, I find 600 grit wet n dry (maybe used wet, maybe dry, depends on the parent material) by hand wrapped around a cork block the way to go. It really depends of what type of de-nibbing you're doing, if it's specks of dust trapped in Osmo or Danish Oil or a wiping varnish then that's all you need.

Just work across your project working with the grain, applying just enough pressure to smooth it out the finish. Aluminium Oxide abrasive ('Green' general purpose and 'Red' very fine pads), Silicon Carbide abrasive ('Grey' ultra fine pads), Phenolic resin bonded to nylon fibre pad. The Farécla Denibbing block has a removable 35mm interface pad allowing firm pressure to be applied if necessary.Thank you so does that mean with the product I am looking at using I would need to use a fine grade wool? And not sure about oil, but for paint and varnish, use a tack cloth before every coat/after denibbing (though I have heard that they can leave a residue that affects some finishes, though personally I've never noticed that). Our Finishing Pads (De-nibbing Pads) are used to give wooden finishes a perfectly smooth feel after the application of an oil or varnish. Wood is a naturally porous material, and when you put oils on wood, they soak in, giving excellent liquid repellency and protection while still maintaining a natural look and feel.

The purpose of doing this between coats is to smooth down any raised grain or imperfections that have occurred from the first application. Apply the first coat of finish, and wait for it to fully dry based on the manufacturers instructions. But if it's removing raised wood fibres from a water based finish or stain then a tiny bit more abrasion is helpful.

I have since read the instruction for the wood wax I will be using which says to have sanded the bare wood to 120 grit for maximum absorption into the wood. There is a chance that it will help but its difficult to say for sure with out seeing the doors and the variance that you have experienced. I have heard that denibbing is a good thing to do after each coat of finish so I wanted to get some advice on where to get the pads from and what sort of grits? The Finishing Pad should also be used when you have applied your last coat of finish to finish the job off feeling extra smooth.

You might notice at this point that the finish looks really bad, I might look dull, dusty or kind of murky, but don’t worry about that, because the next coat of finish is going to make it look beautiful again!Starting with the obvious reason and that is to get your finish as smooth and professional looking and feeling as possible.

These Flexi De Nib Pads wet and dry finished foam cleaners take all the nibs off prior to the finish coat. Basic purpose is to remove/flatten any minute specs of dust, etc, that were airborne and have settled while the finish was drying, and/or any specs of rubbish that were in the liquid finish as you applied it (though you do strain your material through a coffee filter and old pair of ladies tights before EVERY use, don't you? The three dimensional structure of the pads is easy to use on contoured surfaces and profiles, as well as areas which are difficult to reach.
