🛠️ How to Use Antiquing Wax
Using Antiquing Wax is simple—and so satisfying. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:
-
Prep Your Surface
Ensure your furniture piece is clean and dry. If you're applying it over paint, allow the paint to cure completely before waxing. -
Apply the Wax
Use a wax brush (like our 1.5" synthetic bristle applicator) or a lint-free cloth to scoop a small amount of wax. Work it into the surface using circular or back-and-forth motions, focusing on crevices and detailed areas. -
Wipe Away Excess
After a few minutes, gently wipe off any excess wax with a clean, soft cloth. This helps achieve an even, natural-looking finish. -
Let It Cure
Allow the wax to absorb and cure. It will feel dry to the touch within a few hours, but it fully cures in about 30 days, creating a light protective seal. -
Optional: Buff for Shine
Want a little more sheen? Buff the surface lightly with a clean cloth once the wax has dried.
💡 Tip: For best results, apply in thin layers. You can always build up more depth with additional coats if needed.
