NOTE: Ordering multiple items decreases your overall cost. For each additional item, it is $1 in shipping. This is the perfect wax for giving your paint a protective finish. It gives a buttery-soft sheen, but as it cures, it develops a hard finish. This also is what deepens, enriches, and brings to life DIY Clay paint. For newbies, there is a wax freak-out when they use it for the first time. It may look blotchy when you apply it. Do not panic! The paint is absorbing the wax. Let it dry for 24 hours, come back, and buff to give the piece a soft sheen. Then just dust with a feather duster or a Swiffer. I have pieces I did 6 years ago and finished with wax. They are heavily used and they still look great! TIP: Before using any colored wax, apply a coat of clear wax first. It makes the colored waxes much more manageable. If you don't, the paint will suck up the colored wax and you will not be able to move it easily. TIP: Clear wax acts as an eraser if you put too much colored wax on. While the colored wax is wet, use your brush with clear wax to remove the excess. A rag helps, too. TIP: One 13.5 oz container will do a number pieces of furniture. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Allow DIY Paint to dry completely before applying wax. (15 minutes to a few hours.) 2. Use wax brush or lint free cloth to evenly apply a thin layer of wax. (Surface may appear uneven or translucent) 3. Allow to dry overnight. (Surface will even out) 4. After wax has dried, buff to a beautiful hard sheen with a soft cloth. 5. Finished surfaces should be kept free of moisture and extreme use for a week or more, to fully cure or harden.
