Shabby Finishing Wax Combo for Chalk Paint

The combo includes:

• AFC Shabby Finishing Wax (clear paste, 250 g) — for sealing, polishing, and protecting chalk-painted or raw wood surfaces.

• AFC Shabby Liquid Wax (250 ml) — for ongoing maintenance and refreshing the sealed finish.

• Additional options (in broader combo versions) include Liming White Wax, Dark Brown Antiquing Wax, and Black Wax for decorative effects. furniturecareproducts.com.au

Each component plays a role: the paste wax provides a durable seal and protective layer; the liquid wax helps maintain the sheen and renew protection between heavier treatments.

Use this combo on:

• Chalk-painted furniture projects, including DIY or upcycled pieces.

• Raw, untreated wood to seal and protect.

• Decorative painted finishes where you want a breathable, low-gloss protective layer.
  It’s ideal for pieces where you want to preserve the handcrafted look without introducing harsh coatings.

Major advantages include:

• Layered protection: paste wax delivers strong sealing, liquid wax renews surface protection without stripping the paste layer.

• Maintenance ease: using the liquid wax keeps the finish smooth and nourished between paste applications.

• Decorative flexibility: the combo includes colour variants (white, dark brown, black) for aging, liming, or antiquing effects.

• Natural, safe formula: made from beeswax and natural oils, free from petro-chemicals.

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust.

• Apply a thin even coat of the paste wax using a cloth or wax brush, working the wax into the grain or painted surface.

• Wait ~10 minutes (or as directed) for the wax to set.

• Buff off with a clean, lint-free cloth until smooth and unified.

• For added effect, especially for liming or antiquing, use the coloured wax variants included in your combo. furniturecareproducts.com.au

Use the liquid wax regularly between paste wax applications:

• Apply a small amount to the surface with a soft cloth.

• Buff it lightly to renew the protective layer.

• This helps maintain the finish and extends the paste layer’s life.
  It’s especially useful on high-touch furniture that experiences frequent use.

Yes, depending on which wax variant you use:

• The clear (shabby) wax will preserve the existing colour and add depth.

• Liming / white wax gives a gentle white-washed or aged appearance.

• Dark brown / black waxes provide antiquing or aged coloration to your piece.

With normal use, the paste wax layer typically lasts 6 to 12 months. Use the liquid wax more frequently (every few weeks to months) to refresh the surface. Reapply paste wax when the finish appears dull or lacks protection.

Yes — the formulas are designed to be safe for painted surfaces, non-stripping, and free from harmful petrochemicals. They’re well-suited for interior and decorative furniture applications.

Be careful with areas exposed to frequent moisture or heavy wear — wax is not as durable as hard seal coatings (e.g. polyurethane).
Also, applying too thick a layer or failing to buff well may lead to uneven curing or tackiness.
Many guides recommend very thin coats and proper buffing to avoid these problems.

• Apply clear base wax first, then a thin coat of dark or liming wax to impart shading or age effect.

• Use a blending cloth or brush in corners, cracks, or crevices to accentuate depth.

• This layering technique is commonly used by restorers and DIY furniture painters to create patina or aged looks.
