How to use Dark Wax: There’s a trick

Using a dark wax to antique: After wet distressing and adding a coat of Wise Owl’s Clear wax (so I could manipulate the darker wax without it just soaking into the unsealed mineral paint), it was time to antique this table using Wise Owl’s smooth Black Walnut wax. I brushed it on (I know it looks like I ruined it!!) and then wiped off most of it. It tints the previous paint, but often more than I want. So the best thing to do is use a little more CLEAR wax to erase most of the darker wax from the surface but leaving it in all the nooks and crannies to create that antique effect. And that’s it! I sell @wiseowlpaint in my booth at Flock of Five in Sulphur, LA, but you can find a retailer near you by visiting their website! Shop local when possible to support a small business. #wiseo
