Im so glad you made this video! Ive been wanting to modernize an old buffet and like many other first time projects, I tend to "fly by the seat of my pants".. I was hoping to accomplish the white wash effect without actually white washing 😇.. I blindly purchased an antique grey chalk paint and white wax with nothing more than a hope, that it would work.. You've confirmed it! 🤩 Thanks bunches!!
Ozzie, I usually use Dark wax on my chalk paint projects because I LOVE THE LOOK, but I'm doing a frame tonight and using white wax for the first time. I noticed you didn't apply any clear wax. Should I apply clear wax when using white wax like I would do for the dark wax or is it not necessary? Thanks sweetie. Great video.
Hi Kathie! It's up to you. I find the White Wax to be less effective with Clear Wax underneath so I prefer going straight to White. It does "cloud" the color a bit, though, so it would depend on what you are aiming for. Maybe try both in an inconspicuous area to see which you like. Hope that was helpful! Thanks! :)
What does the surface feel like? Is it porous or dry enough to accept wax absorption? If so, you may be able to use the White wax on it. It's a subtle lightener, though.
it's a really beautiful finish - i don't have a video of it yet and have only used them together a handful of times. i would see if your local stockist has an example in their shop! :)

Is there a picture of the black wax after using the white wax ?
Can you reuse the rag you used to whip off the wax?

I am so happy to hear it!
Thank you for this video...can I use white wax over white chalk paint?
You can! It won't show as much but it's doable. :)
well done tutorial
I've just bought a waxed oak fireplace. Any way to lighten it without having to strip or paint it?

What kind of look does the black wax look over the white wax
