Or just use
wax as your top coat?
Since this room can get very warm being mostly windows and very cold as it isn't heated, I decided not to use Annie Sloan's clear
wax as a top coat.
I painted my workshop table here at my shop with Chalk Paint ® decorative paint by Annie Sloan and then did
the wax as a top coat.
It is also resistant to alcohol spills, which if using
wax as a top coat - is not.
Not exact matches
I finished off with two
coats of clear
wax (no buffing
as I wanted a matte, old world finish) and Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil on the stained
top.
Can you give brief instructions in chronological order such
as: painted two
coats french linen, used clear
wax and dark
wax, followed by dry brushing with french linen & old white, folowwed by protective
top coat... or did you
wax again?
I am very familiar with chalk paint and
as I've said in other comments, I no longer use
wax to seal, but instead water based
top coats, however like you I do from time to time use
wax as a last step
as a «polish» for extra an extra sheen for pieces that I want the
top to pop.
I am a firm believer in
wax, but only
as the very last step after some strong
top coat.
So, no I don't use
wax anymore, except sometimes over the
top coat as a final touch when I want a bit of sheene, just to use up what I had already, but I'm not buying any.
I have the same question
as Patty M. I have painted my hutch black (Valspar - Lowes satin finish) but don't have a
top coat on it
as it looks too shiny - So please do share once painted did you use a soft
wax (Lowes paint department had never heard of this stuff??)
I painted the
top with a grey primer I had and then used a
coat of country grey
AS and a
coat of coco
AS followed by clear
wax and a light
coat of dark.
Did you have to use anything
as a
top coat, and if so will
wax work with the valspar paint?

Just like the chalk paint, you can use
wax, hemp oil, or polycrylic
as a
top coat.
