[@chezzapie]

Guilding Anonymous? Love it, I’ll add it to my list of crafting addictions! 😁 New subscriber ❤️

[@SuitePieces]

Thanks, Cheryl! ; )

[@subirmondal2820]

you are looking gorgeous and your work beautiful

[@SuitePieces]

Thank you so much 😊

[@janspenno2241]

Great video btw

[@jamiejones8508]

It’s so true what you say about gilt wax addiction - but what I’d really like to know is how do you seal it so it doesn’t rub off? It’s fine for mirrors and frames, but when I’ve used it on furniture it’s invariably come off and I can’t imagine it would be any better on metal hardware - should I varnish it? :-)

[@itsthepens]

Regarding the finish already on the mirror before you added the gilding wax, was that something like French linen chalk paint with dark wax over it? Can the gilding wax be applied to something that has already had a coat of a different wax product? Thanks so much in advance for your reply!

[@TheBismila1]

Hello, Please let me know what small brush i will need to apply only one thing line of gilding wax around the mirror or any other project

[@KirstyMeakin]

Do you need to varnish and se the wax ? Or will it just wash off?

[@SuitePieces]

Hi! You do not seal the wax, as it is a sealer! You just need to be gentle with it until it dries and cures. It will not wash off but as you clean it you may need to reapply every few years to get it bright again!

[@justforlaughs309]

INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL - If starting from a white ceramic piece, do you recommend starting with a black wash - to get the contrast and depth?

[@SuitePieces]

You can do a black wash OR paint black into the details then go over it with gilding wax

[@justforlaughs309]

How can you get the black contrast in the corners to give it more depth?

[@SuitePieces]

You can get a black contrast in the details by applying paint then gilding over it.

[@divyaburman]

can we use the wax on resin sculptures eg candleholders etc

[@bartekkucharski3880]

Hi. Is it safe to touch after a while? I have a project to do and elements will be handled all the time. Varnish maybe? Thanks

[@blkbrn1952]

Beautiful! How durable is it though?

[@SuitePieces]

Hi! Gilding wax is very durable. It may need refreshing over time if it s a piece that is handled often, but on a piece like this you will never need to touch it up!

[@silvialozanogutierrezcheli402]

Hello great video. Just a question. Can I use gliding wax on already painted wood peace of furniture? Thank you so much for your answer.

[@SuitePieces]

Yes you can! Gilding wax is actual your last step when completing your project so you can add it whenever!

[@marisamele5972]

can you use the gilding wax and then use a black rub n/ buff on top to achieve a patina look?

[@marisamele5972]

im re-doing a triple oval mirror that has already been spray painted with a brass metallic spray paint, but I wasn't pleased with the result and wanted something with more depth without having to redo everything. Would the wax go over spray paint well?

[@dishonmorris8102]

Can this be placed over a wood frame?

[@SkillZZilla8218]

I would buy, but so many quesrions went unanswered. I dint like that style of business.

[@mishl7]

Can this be used on a frame that's already painted?

[@SuitePieces]

Yup!

[@raffaellecarraspedez2014]

Does it transfer or does it set and not come off

[@peekaboo217]

do you have black wax? I want to "distress" my gold mirror..

[@SuitePieces]

Hi Tricia Brandt! Yes we do have black wax 👌🏼 here is the link to the product on our site! suitepieces.com/products/jolie-finishing-wax-black?_pos=2&_sid=4fdae0879&_ss=r

[@jooosterbroek964]

Can you use this on wood?

[@kristinajeon7867]

Where's buy it?

[@manuelarodas9331]

Wondering if it works well on metal? Thanks in advance

[@SuitePieces]

Gilding wax is GREAT on metal!

[@mjremy2605]

Video starts at 1:15. Turn off sound, speed up to 2.

[@margobrouwer8229]

Do you have to reapply after a while?

[@SuitePieces]

Only to touch up or brighten if you'd like

[@lovelyek8187]

Is there a certain kind of brush to use?

[@SuitePieces]

We prefer (on larger surfaces) a stencil brush (suitepieces.com/products/stencil-brush-set-3?_pos=1&_sid=bfe80b7b5&_ss=r). On Smaller surfaces we use our fingers!

[@tracybroughman7423]

Would this work on brass door hinges. Should it be sealed?

[@michelleblas4392]

What brand of gilding wax is that?

[@SuitePieces]

We sell the gilding wax on our website (suitepieces.com/search?type=product,article,page&q=*gilding%20wax*)

[@PureSwank]

Can you use this on wood? Like Wooden door accessories that are painted black?

[@SuitePieces]

Absolutely

[@janspenno2241]

Can I do this with Annie Sloan gilding wax?

[@SuitePieces]

Yes you can!!

[@janspenno2241]

Suite Pieces thank you! I’m going to give that a go tomorrow! 😀

[@SuitePieces]

Good luck!!

[@sophieh8468]

Suite Pieces can't wait to try this on the old family mirror 😊

[@annschoonmaker5696]

Too much gab and all over the place.
