Hello all, My son
told me today that i am posting everything I write in the "title"
area....hmmm, I had been wondering why
it looked the way it did! so, hope this
one is right! He just laughs at me when
i ask him technical questions. Though I
guess that one was not so technical!!!
I have been working on painting, waxing and then dark waxing
my dining room buffet. I was very
nervous to use the dark wax but i think all in all it came out well. As instructed by Nancy at Sea Rose Cottage, I applied a thin coat
of clear wax before I applied the dark wax.
I also mixed the dark wax with some mineral spirits (a 75/25 ratio I
would say) and that helped to apply the dark wax easily and smoothly.
I did find I needed to wipe the dark wax off with a soft
cloth rather quickly or it would dry on the piece too heavily.
Each piece I work on I learn something new so
even though I feel I still have a lot I could learn, I have come quite a ways
since my initial "beginners" class at Sea Rose Cottage. Thanks to Nancy and also to Danielle at
"Finding Silver Pennies"
for their helpful tips!
