Want to know how to use gilding wax? Annie Sloan Gilding Wax can be applied with a lint-free cloth or a brush. It is a finishing product, so should be applied after Clear Chalk Paint™ Wax. See how Annie does it by watching this handy tutorial. You can also read our Gilding Wax Fact Sheet.

Protective waxing or a sealer coat of polyurethane can extend the life of chalk paint. Experts recommend sealing chalk paint finishes with a protective wax to prevent wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas or high-touch surfaces. For peace of mind, brands like Rust-Oleum and others provide their own protective top coats designed for use with their chalk paint. A chalk paint's coverage claims should be taken with a grain of salt because of how widely varying each project is. Darker woods, for example, will require more product or coats to cover, especially if you’re using a lighter paint color. If you're going for a weathered look, full coverage might not be that important. You might even like the way the wood looks when it shows through. All things considered, 1 ounce of chalk paint will typically cover 1 to 3 square feet. To create an antique gold finish with Rub n’ Buff, first, clean the surface you want to apply it to, and make sure it’s dry. Then, apply a small amount of Rub n’ Buff onto a soft cloth or brush. Rub the cloth or brush onto the surface in a circular motion until the desired effect is achieved. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes, and then buff it with a clean cloth to bring out the shine. What’s the Difference Between Rub n’ Buff’s European Gold and Antique Gold? Gilding Wax is particularly good for bringing out ornate carvings and mouldings, enhancing texture and detailing.
