Liming js a useful finish especially for oak and other woods with a distinctive grain pattern as this milky finish lightens and adds interest to natural wood.
Liming wax and liming kits are usually available from specialist paint and wood product suppliers. Although they come with good instruction, the process can involves the opening of the wood grain by scrubbing it with a wire brush. The wood has to be clean and completely free of other finishes before application. staining the wood between cleaning and liming will make the liming more noticeable.
You can also achieve a similar effect to liming by repeatedly painting bare wood with coats of watered down white or lghtly coloured emulsion then wiping it off. The finish can then be completed with varnish.
