How to get perfect stencil lines using gilding wax

**Please note, I no longer use and cannot recommend Dixie Belle Paint products due to highly questionable business practices, contract violations, and unethical treatment of artists and retailers that led to mine and numerous others resignations in late 2021. Please see the links below for more information. I have chosen to leave this video content up for learning purposes only, but highly recommend considering other products when trying to achieve these same techniques. There are too many good product brands on the market to support a brand with these practices. I've included links to my most used options below

Thanks for your knowlege, very torn over using the gilding wax or new dixie bell mouse. You make both techniques look easy, merry xmas to all of you.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

I'd say I use gilding wax more frequently than mousse

[@MrStan545]

When using the DB gilding wax, seal the surface first and then add the gilding wax? Or do you seal after?
Also, do you need to seal after applying to hardware?

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

You could apply either before of after clear on the body. Sealing on hardware is optional as well

[@thelamberts4067]

How do you clean the stencil after using gilding wax?

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Can use dawn dish soap, mineral spirits, or even big mommas butta to wipe the wax away

[@brendafoster9504]

but how do u get that sticky off the back of the stencil? neither dawn nor 409 took that off very good....

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Mineral spirits works great

[@brendafoster9504]

@@BrushedbyBrandy thanks so much. that worked great

[@kay_ana]

When using gilding wax on very precise edges, do you still find the stencil brush the best option? I have been working on smaller table top pieces and using my finger I get smudges where I did not want wax and the wax has been gunking up my regular detail brushes quite terribly. I love the effect, but the application has been troubling thus far. You just make it look so easy, I must be doing something wrong.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Fingers and get messy. I buy cheap artists brushes that I don't worry about gunking up as well

[@jenellanshus8616]

Does the 77 3M spray adhesive wash off your stencil?

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

I clean them periodically using citri strip and it wipes off

[@hilaryreynolds7479]

Which spray adhesive do you use ?

[@aspenriverrun]

@1:00 mark (Super 77 by 3M spray adhesive)

[@teresawest8890]

Do you seal after? If so what do you use?

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

This was sprayed in gator hide

[@kay_ana]

@@BrushedbyBrandy Wait, you can spray Gator Hide? Have you shown this in a video I missed? I would love to see this in action.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

@@kay_ana i spray gator hide regularly, have a few videos and my one coming this Friday that show it
