Hard wax seal experiences - What to pay attention to?

......but you have to regularly re-lubricate?

well.....if necessary, smearing a little on a small wooden board with a rag wouldn't be much effort, especially if you could get a nice piece of craftsmanship out of it.

Oiling and varnishing in one.

For me, that would be more of an either-or decision.

So it will come down to ordering.. I'll ask the carpenter what product they use.

In the end, you can use anything, but here we’re talking about making something especially beautiful and preserving it, so I would put in that little bit of effort. It also depends on what result you want to achieve.
As writes, hardwax oil requires no follow-up treatment, I can confirm that. In my former house, I had Osmo decorative wax on the wooden floor for years completely without re-treatment and problems.

Remmers is basically only available in "colorless," while OSMO offers several "colors." Remmers HWS also states that it is chemical-resistant. OSMO is "only" resistant to various beverages (beer, cola, etc.). Rustin Danish Oil would be the cheapest, but it says that it should be applied regularly. Currently, I tend to go with the Remmers stuff.

Well, you can probably spread that stuff on well too....

Remmers says something like: oiling and varnishing in one. Probably just marketing, right?

So it worked? As I said, if you don't have high demands, you can use any wood treatment.

Firstly, Remmers is not just anyone, but at least as good as Osmo; secondly, a varnish oil is a fine option for this purpose when the result should not be high gloss but satin matt. I myself like to do wood coatings with Woodskin from International, also a varnish oil based on turpentine. Application is, first coat with one third turpentine to two thirds varnish oil, brush that on. It will almost completely absorb. Good, then two coats undiluted, then if necessary maybe the last coat as final treatment. No intermediate sanding needed. Whether the last coat is necessary can be seen, it should no longer absorb, but dry on top like a varnish. Varnish oil has been used in boat building for a very long time; it makes wood seawater-resistant and UV-resistant.

Sure, there are many other manufacturers like Zweihorn and many more. Our carpenter likes to work with Remmers, he says. But I had read something here about "smearing on" or "re-smearing," meaning the least possible effort. I hadn’t expected high stress in the bathroom :cool:, which then read differently.

There are also some sealants from the hardware store. Can you use those without any problems or better not?

You can also........
No one here has doubted the quality of Remmers...... do you have options or stocks of it? :D

No, but I find [Bad Lacköl] better than wax for the application area. Even so-called DIY store sealants don't have to be bad, but then he must please define what he wants to buy there. [Clou Holzsiegel] also works, but is more difficult to apply. [Clou] is available, for example, at [Hage Baumarkt].
