Gilding with metal wax

Once the paint has dried completely, seal the entire surface of your piece of furniture with a coat of clear wax. This protects the paint layer and prepares it optimally for the metallic wax.

Apply a small amount of metallic wax to a paint palette or mixing mat. Then, use a stencil brush to apply the wax in thin layers onto the prepared, waxed surface. Build up the layers until you have achieved the desired sheen and coverage.

Tip: Alternatively, you can use a stencil to create precise patterns or shapes. For smaller details or very fine application, you can also carefully apply the metallic wax with your finger.

With Metallic Wax, you can specifically highlight details and give your project more depth and character in no time at all. The effect looks especially beautiful on carvings, edges, profiles, and textured surfaces, where the metallic shimmer changes continuously depending on the incidence of light.

Whether gold, silver, copper, or colorful – Metallic Wax can be applied subtly or built up more intentionally. This allows you to easily refine furniture, frames, and decorations and give them an individual look.

Tip:It is better to start with a little wax and increase the effect gradually. This way, you maintain full control over the result.
