Coloured wax for new wood doors

mshelsbels

I'm just about to move, and our new house has had some of their 250 year old doors dipped and stripped down, but there are also new doors too. Wondered if anyone could recommend some coloured wax or varnish to tone down the new pine looking doors, to make them look like the older newly dipped doors?

Many thanks,
Hels

Try somewhere that strip doors, we had to do something similar and they sold the wax to us, I just had to take a clean margarine tub to fill up.

Ronseal brushing wax works really well, Ours are new Oak doors though.
1 tub does about 2 doors (both sides).
Put the first coat on then buff of before it dries to much or dark streaks my show up. The second coat can be left for longer and gives a deeper shine when buffed off.
