Waxing furniture.

mum2be · 2014-07-03 19:38:30

Hi. I'm attempting to chalk paint some second-hand furniture that I just bought. I've a recipe for the paint but I don't know anything about the wax that I need to finish the job. Can anyone recommend a brand and where could I get it? Thanks in advance.

I stock a range of wax you could use on that by Annie Sloan that should work fine there are a good few stockists around the country that you could get it from you could also use beeswax which you might get in a hardware shop or from a furniture restoration place. You could also use a water based varnish that would give a more durable finish and you can get it in a matt finish so its in keeping with the paint.
