ReplyDeleteI just did a tea cart and need some tips on how to keep the dark wax from blobbing. I did 'off-load' the wax but there are still some dark places.
If you would take a look, I would appreciate it,

I looked at your cabinet and it seems that you may need to shake up your paint to better coverage on the piece. With the waxing, you want to use the Light Wax all over and come back after about 30 minutes of it drying, to add the Dark Wax. You must use the Dark wax very sparingly with offloading on a palette before you put it on with a China Bristle brush. After you apply the Dark Wax, take an old tshirt rag to buff the finish to a sheen. If you have any issues, please email alex@amyhowardhome.com.
