Hello from sunny NZ.
We have just laid Spanish handmade wood fired terracotta.
We want to achieve a traditional high sheen antique effect.
Must we use the labour intensive linseed/beeswax system or can we utilize the alternative products that are marketed?
Can we use linseed and finish with one of the easy care products? ( and vice versa)?
what do you recommend?

Thanxs

Lithofin will say that you cannot mix linseed with their finish top product, but I think you can at your own risk.
they do a terracotta impregnator which has some oil in it and then classic wax on top.email casdron enterprises in uk and they will give youmthenlow down or call bob who is an expert in the office on 00441962732126
