china bristle
brush or a lamb’s

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

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

9. Step 5
In using liquid
wax, pour it out
and use a rag
that can hold a
lot of wax.

10. Step 6
