Microfiber Pads to apply Briwax

09/25/2009 by J J

These microfiber pads are an excellent way to apply Briwax to any surface.

These microfiber pads apply Briwax smoothly and evenly over the surface, leaving your hands clean.

The micro-finger technology uses thousands of independent fibers to work Briwax deep into every surface pore for maximum coverage.  Our new application pads use less of the Briwax product than cotton rags, while applying a thin, even layer of Briwax over every micron of the surface.

The pads are reusable over and over again and can be cleaned with mineral spirits (paint thinner).

Briwax Brushes

Other products in the Briwax family . . . Brushes – Hand, Rotary, Dome and Drum Style

Wax Polishing Brushes . . . these natural bristle brushes are entirely hand made and are used by the trade to bring out the shine in a wax finish.  Designed specifically for buffing Briwax, these brushes reduce the labor of hand buffing by 50%. Great tool for old, reclaimed lumber that is left in the rough. Also very useful on carvings and deep recesses.  These brushes are made with tampico bristles which, over time, will discolor but will last for years.

Tampico is a natural vegetable fiber harvested from a variety of cactus plants that grow wild in Mexico.  The tampico fiber has a fine, delicate and smooth texture.  It has abrasive qualities which make it an excellent choice for polishing applications.  It is important to note that tampico fiber keeps its qualities and smoothness over time, while other fibers will become hard and their qualities deteriorate.

Read more about the four brush types below.  Note that each brush type is designed for specific uses.

Oval Brush

The Hand brush is a great tool for quickly producing a shine to a fairly large or rough piece.  This is a must tool for a quick buff out of a small but rough item.  All natural tampico bristle, lasts a lifetime.
