So do you paint the edges of your cradled panel and then tape it before you do your painting? I heard you say now I’m ready to wax it. So you do put another layer of wax on it, then let that dry before buffing? Correct? Greetings from Australia.
Hi! Yes, I sand and the put 3 coats of white acrylic gesso on my cradled wood panel, when dry, I paint the edges of the panel with black acrylic gesso. I make sure this is very dry, a few days, before putting the masking tape on the edges before painting the painting with oils and cold wax medium. After the tape is removed and the painting is touch dry, a week or two, I apply a thin final layer of cold wax medium on the painting and the edges. When touch dry I buff with a soft cloth. I have an online course on my website if you are interested that shows how I do this.
