Review on FolkArt Home Decor Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint – Assorted Colors 16oz, Clear Wax by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Strange color consistency

I'm no expert on sealing wax paint, but I was able to completely ruin a freshly chalked table with this product. Obviously I used too much but it was hard for me to tell. It seemed too thick to use with a brush but thin to rub off. I ended up leaving too much wax in the crevices and as the wax dried it left an ugly yellow residue where there was excess. I was so frustrated that I didn't try white spirit right away (I've read it can help solve problems), so maybe if I'd been faster it would have worked. In any case, all I have to do is wait for the wax to set and then start with a fresh coat of chalk paint. I've tried sanding down the sticky areas, but I've read that you shouldn't smear the paint or it will leave noticeable areas after it's done. I could be that too, but I'd prefer it to be more watery, in which case I'd apply it very thinly with a brush or thickly like wax so you can see or feel what's left on the surface. This wax is inexpensive, but I'm willing to pay more for something more comfortable.

Pros
  • This pack contains one 16 ounce can of residential wax
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required
