Our wax is the consistency of soft butter so it is easy to apply. It is completely colorless and has very little odor. Wipe clean regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend applying the paint, waxing it and then sanding it for the best results. You can color the wax with a little of our paint or mix with odorless mineral spirits for a luxurious glaze. The durability when combined with the paint is perfect for kitchen cabinets and dining tables. And if it’s durable enough for kitchens, just imagine how long that beautiful finish will last on bedroom, living room, and office furniture!



To age and give texture to your paintwork apply the clear wax first then apply the dark wax. Wipe off the excess then use the clear wax to take more off if you need. Leave the dark wax in the recesses to further age the finish.

You can color the dark wax to make it less brown by using a little of our paint in the wax. Use Old White to make white wax or a bit of Aubusson to make the wax almost black.
