Thanks for this tutorial, Rachelle. Dark Wax is kind of hit or miss with my projects, but your instructions are always clear (and encouraging!).

How long do you allow the initial coat of Clear wax to set up before you hit it with the Dark?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Bonnie Tomlinson you can do it instantly or wait years. Whatever works best for you :)

[@TabithaBettencourt]

Bonnie thanks for asking this question.. it was totally what I was going to ask!!!!

[@annikastonefieldt7941]

Hello there, nice video!!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Hello there!! Thank you ❤️ You can certainly skip the clear wax step and go straight to dark wax (or any of the other colored waxes) it will alter the color to whatever wax tone you use. I have done it may a times ❤️❤️

Are you going to continue to sell Annie Sloan products? The store I have buying it at is switching it out for the Jolie paint line. And I am in search of someone I can continue to purchase this awesome product.

[@OriginallyWorn]

Hey! You bet I am! I love Annie Sloan products and the person she is! You can order directly from my website at www.originallywornonline.com or message Originally Worn on Facebook an order. I have more items then the most popular ones that are on the website, so if you are looking for something but don’t see it on there, feel free to contact me.

I didn’t know I should apply clear first, how can I add more color to my piece? Do I have to repaint and basicall6 start over?

[@OriginallyWorn]

You don’t have to apply clear wax first. It just changes the look. Before repainting you can try to take off your current layer of wax off with Mineral spirits. If that doesn’t work then unfortunately you may have to repaint

Hi Rachelle, what kind of towel are those?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Hello. I typically use blue shop towels. (Not sure exactly what ones are in this video 😬)

[@susananobio6487]

@@OriginallyWorn Where can I get them?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Most big box stores. Walmart, sams, etc. look in the automotive dept.

[@susananobio6487]

@@OriginallyWorn Thank you. I live in Holland. I’ll try an automotive dept. Thank you!!

Hey can I use this Annie solan wax over latex paint?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Hey! Technically you can, but it isn’t going to soak into it the same way it cure the same way. So you would need for the wax to fully cure on the surface. There are a few instances when this situation works but for the most part I don’t do it.

[@vartikabhartiya7660]

@@OriginallyWorn I am planning to do clear wax on whole piece, then dark in some places for antique look

[@OriginallyWorn]

@@vartikabhartiya7660 yes, technically you can. It won’t hurt the paint. But it’s not going to soak in the same.

[@vartikabhartiya7660]

Then should I seal it with something after waxing?

[@OriginallyWorn]

No. Wax is a sealant. Wax is always the last layer and nothing can go over it after it either.
