Odie’s Wax is a traditional hard wax and is usually used as a final layer to provide added protection and added extra sheen and is also water repellent. It is also a stand-alone finish, but we recommend using it as a final layer because the protection effect will elongate with the wax, for example for kitchens and bathrooms.  Odie’s Butter is a hybrid between the oil and the wax and is a softer consistency, which helps a lot. It is used as a building layer, provides additional protection and extra sheen, and is also perfect for fine woodwork, jewelry, etc. It can also be used alone. Please wait one day in between coats.
