Natural vs. Premium Finishing Wax? Wax On, Wax Off: BB Frösch’s Ultimate Wax Showdown

Natural vs. Premium Finishing Wax? Wax On, Wax Off: BB Frösch’s Ultimate Wax Showdown

Jul 25, 2025

Just painted? You’ll need to seal it. Working with bare wood? It needs protection, too. No matter your surface, the right wax finishes your project strong.

At BB Frösch, we keep it simple with two powerhouse finishing waxes:

Both are fabulous. Both are fierce. But which one is right for your project? Let’s break it down.

Natural Finishing Wax

🥊 Natural vs. Premium: Which Wax Wins for You?

🧽 How to Apply (Wax Like a Pro)

Whether you’re using Natural or Premium Wax, the method is the same:

  1. Butter the end of your wax brush with a thin layer of wax (don’t overload it).

  2. Apply to your surface—go with the grain for raw wood or use a circular motion for embellished areas.

  3. Once applied, buff away any excess wax using a clean, lint-free cloth.

  4. You’ll know you’ve removed enough when:

    • The cloth glides easily

    • The surface isn’t tacky

    • It begins to shine

🧸 Safety First

Natural Wax is safe for children’s furniture and toys

Do not use Premium Finishing Wax on food-prep surfaces (cutting boards, etc.) but you can use Natural Finishing Wax on wood cutting boards for a smooth hydrated finish.

So when would you choose a polycrylic vs. a wax?

🛡️ When to Use Wax vs. Polycrylic

Choose Wax When:

  • You want a breathable, touchable, vintage-style finish

  • You're sealing furniture, decor, or children's items

  • You want a natural or fast-curing alternative to traditional sealers

Choose Polycrylic When:

  • You're sealing high-use surfaces (like tabletops or bathroom vanities)

  • You need strong water resistance

  • You’re sealing slick surfaces like laminate or glass

💡 Pro Hack: You can apply BB Frösch wax over poly for added depth—but not the other way around.

🎬 Finish Like a DIY Sensei

Whether you’re sealing a revived dining table or a flea-market find, BB Frösch waxes are here to help you finish strong.
