hey there, it's rosanne here from country chic paint in this video i'm going to show you how touse dark wax to antique your furniture, so stay tuned. in this video we're going to be usingthe following supplies: we're using country chic paint's antiquing waxas well as a large wax brush and a lint free cloth. we've been working onthis little chair in some other videos so if you want to learnabout the entire process make sure to check out our youtube channelfor our other videos with our antiquing wax it isnot necessary

to apply natural wax first. you can if you want to but for this project i'm just going to apply it straight on the chair. i like using thecountry chic paint wax brushes to apply to wax because it'seasier to get the paint in all the nooks and crannies of your piece, but you could also use a lint free rag if youprefer so you'll simply swirl it into your jar and then you'll just brush it onto your piece i find it easiest to apply circular motions

to spread out the wax our wax doesn't contain solvents so it'svery environmentally friendly it does mean that the consistency isa bit harder than you might be used to so you'll need to keep in mind that thewax can take up to three to four weeks to fully cure since the wax is all natural and doesn't contain chemical dryers it will stayworkable for a long time so you can also wait with buffing if youneed to run out halfway through for example

to store your wax brushes i recommendputting them in a ziploc bag or you can also use our brush soap to clean them after use after applying the wax you can buff it right away with a lint free cloth. sonormally i would not use antiquing wax on a seating surface of a chair because even though after it cures it feels dry, it can still give up

some of the pigment and the last thing you want is to stain your clothingwith wax there's another little tip i want toshow you and that is how you can use our naturalwax to manipulate your antiquing wax you just simply put some on a cloth andyou can use it as an eraser so you're going to remove the antiquing wax with the natural wax so if you've applied too much then you canalways take some away besides antiquing wax andnatural wax

we also carry white wax, pearl wax, and gold wax if you want to learn more aboutcountry chic paint, you can visit our website countrychicpaint.com or simply click on thelink below if you like this video then leave us a like or a comment and we'll be sure to get back to your questions thank you so much for watching and happypainting!
