Soft Wax for Chalk Finish paint & Furniture- Clear

Da Vinci's beautiful  Clear Soft Wax is made from natural renewable non-toxic ingredients. It is a beeswax formula that is natural (clear)nd made from a blend of natural oils and beeswax. There are no solvents  used, no petroleum products and no chemicals added which is why it is natural and safe to use in your home.

Uses: Over chalk paint, shabby chic furniture & antique furniture and a good all round furniture wax.

Natural low odour with a touch of citrus makes using a pleasant experience. Chalk paint needs to be sealed. Buffed-up wax is a practical and aesthetically pleasing sealant. It can take a little time but the results are worth it. Wipe on, wait to dry, then buff with a clean rag. It is the same principle over chalk paint. Or you can apply dark wax (or wax tinted with chalk paint) with a brush and wipe off and buff with a rag. Or apply dark wax with a brush and then brush on clear wax to create interesting distressed protective finishes.

To use: Allow chalk paint to dry overnight, this is so paint has hard enough to rub the wax in. If distressing do this prior to waxing, Apply a light coat of Only Greens Soft Wax  (always apply in thin layers allowing the wax to dry quickly) over chalk painted area with a soft brush or a soft lint-free cloth. If on wood always apply with the grain of the wood.  As Only Greens soft wax has no solvents it may take a little longer to dry than other waxes so we suggest you let the wax completely dry overnight then buff for added shine. For a harder wax, we recommend Only Greens Eco-Wax liquid Carnauba wax or Only Greens Glaze & Medium for a clear and hard finish Helpful hints: All waxes may alter the colour of the paint in a couple of shades. Remember the more you buff the shiner the result.
