Common Questions About Evolution Hardwax Oil

Is Evolution Hardwax Oil food safe?

Yes. Evolution Hardwax Oil is certified food safe once fully cured. That makes it an excellent choice for kitchen benchtops, dining tables, chopping boards, serving platters and other timber surfaces that come into contact with food.

Is it suitable for kitchen benchtops and
dining tables?

Yes. It's one of the best applications for Evolution Hardwax Oil. It provides a durable, water-resistant finish while remaining food safe and bringing out the natural beauty of the timber.

Can I use Evolution Hardwax Oil on timber floors?

Absolutely. It's one of our most popular uses for the product. It creates a durable, water-resistant finish that is easy to maintain and, unlike many traditional coatings, can usually be refreshed without sanding the entire floor.

Can I use it on furniture and cabinetry?

Yes. It's perfect for cabinets, shelving, furniture, doors, staircases and other interior timber where you want a durable natural finish.

Can I use Evolution Hardwax Oil outdoors?

No. Evolution Hardwax Oil is designed for interior timber. For exterior decks, cladding, outdoor furniture and exposed timber we recommend our Evolution Exterior Oil range or one of our dedicated exterior oils.

What sheen should I choose?

Evolution Hardwax Oil is available in Matte, Classic, Satin and Gloss. Each provides the same protection—the choice simply depends on the look you want, from a natural low-sheen finish through to a richer gloss appearance.

How many coats should I apply?

Two thin coats are recommended for most projects. Apply evenly with a quality microfibre roller or suitable applicator, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second.

How much will I need?

Coverage depends on the timber and its absorbency, but one litre typically covers around 30m² per coat. Our coverage guide on this page can help you calculate exactly how much you'll need.

Can I apply it over an existing oil finish?

Usually yes, but we recommend testing first. Because it's often difficult to identify what finish is already on the timber, a light sand followed by a small test area will give the best results.

Can scratches be repaired without sanding the whole surface?

Usually yes. One of the biggest advantages of hardwax oil is that small worn areas or scratches can often be repaired locally without having to sand and refinish the entire piece.

Can I tint the finish?

Yes. We offer a range of colours and stains that can be used to tint the timber before applying Evolution Hardwax Oil as the protective topcoat. We recommend testing colours first using our 125ml sample tins.

Is Evolution Hardwax Oil waterproof?

It is highly water resistant but not completely waterproof. Spills should still be wiped up promptly, but the finish offers excellent protection against everyday moisture.

Does Evolution Hardwax Oil change the colour of timber?

It enhances the natural grain and richness of the timber, giving it a warm, natural appearance. Different timber species will produce different results, so we always recommend testing on an offcut first.

Is it safe to use around children and pets?

Yes. Once fully cured, Evolution Hardwax Oil is certified food safe and toy safe, making it ideal for family homes.

Evolution 2K Booster

Our Evolution Hardwax Oils can be applied with or without the special 2K Booster. For smaller surfaces such as furniture, the Booster isn’t necessary. We only really recommend using the Booster for commercial use, i.e., in very high-traffic areas because it does increase hardness and durability. However, in most cases the Booster is not necessary because even without it, Evolution Hardwax Oils are extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting.

Anti-Slip

Whittle Waxes’ Anti-Slip is ready to use and is designed to be applied with Evolution Hardwax Oil (Matte, Classic, Satin and Gloss) to increase the anti-slip level from R10 to R12. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) states that treads must have a slip-resistant finish. Our Anti-Slip is suitable for all wooden and cork flooring surfaces and is ideal for stairs, wet areas, ramps and doorways.
Simply use the Anti-Slip in place of the first coat of Hardwax Oil. Allow to dry overnight and then apply a single coat of Hardwax Oil (same sheen level as rest of your floor). 

Anti-Slip Kit

Each Anti-Slip Kit contains:
• 1 x 1L Anti-Slip
• 1 x Roller kit
• Masking Tape
• Certificate

Why are Evolution Hardwax Oils so popular?

The reason for Evolution Hardwax Oil’s amazing versatility is because it ticks all these boxes:

  • Non-toxic – food-safe and toy-safe – completely safe for humans, animals and plants.
  • Water resistant – ideal for all wet areas (kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, etc.).
  • Hard-wearing – ideal for furniture and floors (even high traffic areas) – can last for 5-7 years.
  • High coverage rates (20-30m2 per litre!) – so very economical for use on floors.
  • Micro-porous – which allows the timber to breathe. It integrates with the timber rather than forming a skin and this prevents cracking.
  • An attractive natural look and feel – it enhances the grain, bringing out the timber’s natural beauty.
  • Easy to maintain – simply clean with Whittle Wax’s Floor Care (which has replenishment properties) to prevent the surfaces from becoming dull.
  • Kind to the environment – made from natural, sustainable raw materials (such as beeswax, carnauba wax and jojoba oil) – it has no negative effects on our planet.
