  • Waxing your painted furniture is easy. Follow Annie Sloan's top tips for applying Chalk Paint® Wax and you'll be able to enjoy a gorgeous finish that will last and last.
    Annie Sloan developed her unique and versatile decorative paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990. She wanted to create one paint that could achieve several different techniques and finishes - from creating a textured chippy look to achieving a smooth modern finish, or even creating a wash. Annie's paint is non toxic, low VOC, and very easy to work with. There's no need to prime or sand before starting - you can just get stuck straight in to the fun bit!

    For drying the wax brush after cleaning, I made a little hanging gadget. I thought I would share. If I could figure out how to add the photo I took, I would have done that instead. I used a card board toilet paper roll, place over handle just to metal band, it fits snuggly. Then I used a hole punch and punch two holes opposite each other at top of the cardboard roll, leaving an inch space at top. Put pipe cleaner or long twisty tie through the holes and twist ends together....then hang from hook. voila' The brushes will air dry in the proper position without rusting the band. and the card board roll is reusable of disposable.

    Ok my mistake waited too long to wipe off the excessive wax , it was not readily wiping off. Try to wipe with a slightly damp cloth - but did not work well.
    What do I do. Tips are so welcome . Am a beginner with chalk paint.
    Apply another coat of wax and just quickly wipe of the excessive as soon as possible.

    • @AnnieSloanHome
      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 2 lety +1

      Hello Pearl, not to worry! Simply apply a fresh coat of wax on your piece which will reactivate that first coat and give you the ability to remove the excess. Work in small sections at a time (such as the side of a small chest of drawers) Remove the excess wax with a clean absorbent cloth, changing to a clean cloth frequently as an old one can become clogged with wax and become ineffective. It is best to move the cloth more slowly. Avoid using a more rapid back and forth motion as this can begin to buff or polish the wax before it is dry, resulting in an uneven appearance to the final finish.

    I painted a piece in old white with clear wax. I used a white lint free cloth, but there are many pieces of lint, dust (don't really know what it is!) stuck on the wax. Seeing it is white, you can see everything. What is the best way to remove them without ruining the wax or the paint underneath?

      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 4 lety

      Hi Darlene, that is such a shame once you have finished a beautiful piece like this! If you want to remove these specks you would need to, providing the wax is completely dry, sand it all back and repaint and then wax again.

    Can someone please help me? This is my first project and I'm painting a desk and going for a distressed look. I'm going to use clear wax first of course and then dark wax. This desk will be used quite a bit, so with that being said do I need to cover it with polyurethane since there will be alot of wear and tear?

    • @AnnieSloanHome
      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 6 lety

      Give your wax a good chance to cure before you use it - the longer you leave it, the harder the wax gets. You shouldn't need polyurethane as well. You can read my tips on using wax on my website (www.anniesloan.com/tips) or speak to your local Annie Sloan Stockist for help.

    I understand it is not necessary to prime a piece prior to painting, however I would like to prime the piece, before painting it. I am going from a dark color to a white color and it would make me feel better to prime the piece, prior to painting it.. Would that be O.K.?

    • @AnnieSloanHome
      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 6 lety +1

      You could try using another Chalk Paint colour like Paris Grey as a coat between the dark colour and the white colour, if you like.

      I know it's been a while since your question but I just finished a dresser that was dark wood. For my own peace of mind I lightly sanded first then used a primer and then started painting with the chalk paint. I used two coats of paint.

  • @kolcava1

    Dear Annie, thank you again for your great videos. I have a question - your chalk paint worked perfectly well on my furniture, I applied 2 coats of the same light blue as you have on this video. I let the paint dry for 24 hours before applying the clear wax. I tried everything as you show, but during my process some of the waxed parts of the furniture were "too dark" , the differences between light and dark were very visible and now it has stains. Somehow the colour does not look even at all. I am just now in the middle of the process quite desperately looking at the result :D :D Is it possible that the "orange" spots start to bleed not after applying the paint, but after the wax? I will see how it will look like tomorrow when the wax dries. Thank you, Marketa

    • @AnnieSloanHome
      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 3 lety +2

      If you have orange spots or stains, it's quite possible that you are experiencing some bleed through. Please stop waxing. You will need to apply one or two coats of clear shellac to block the staining action. However, shellac does not adhere to a wax coating. You will need to first repaint over the wax, then seal with shellac. I know this sounds like a lot of steps but they do go quickly. On the other hand, if you finish is simply looking even, most times just another coat of wax will correct that. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

      @@AnnieSloanHome Dear Annie, thank you very much. Finally, it ended up better than I thought. The work was mostly already done when I wrote to you and I waited by morning the next day. Even the dark parts lightened by then and after aplying the 2nd wax coat the colour looked much more even. The problem with waxing was, that when I touched the surface lightly with the brush or cloth, the parts which touched the wax were very dark, while the rest remained light. On your videos I did not see such prominent "trace" of the brush, so I panicked. I would love to send you a photo of my "remake" :)) It was an old socialist furniture from 1976 :)) It looks really beautiful, you are a genius and I have ordered many other cans of different colours to do more projects. Have a nice day, Marketa

    • @AnnieSloanHome
      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 6 lety +3

      Apply another coat of wax and work it well in to even out the finish. Use a clean rag to carefully wipe away the excess, but don't buff until the next day. Applying too much pressure after waxing can remove the wax in patches before it has had chance to dry.

      Use a lint free cloth; I like to use torn up pieces from a bed sheet, but you can buy cloths that do the same. Just make sure they won't shed any fibres on to the wax!

      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 4 lety

      Hi Ruthanne, I would recommend using the Clear Wax in conjunction with Dark Wax, as it makes it easier to manipulate and won't stain the paint colour underneath. See our video here for more information: czcams.com/video/BWrEfpCEVZE/video.html

      @AnnieSloanHome  Před 4 lety

      Hi Susan, I'm not sure completely what you mean but it sounds like there might have been bleed through from a previous stain or finish from the underneath wood. I would advise using a stain blocker and then paint again with Chalk Paint.

    I love Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. It is the best. I do have one complaint, though. The new paint cans with the childish drawing of Annie with colorful fingers are terrible! l use the empty ASCP cans for pen holders or for faux flowers, but not the new ones! Please bring back the original plain ones.
