Just thought I ...Cherry, thanks for the great post. Just thought I would tell you that there are several Stockists in your area. I am in Hilton Head located at Wexford Village. I sell all of the Annie products. If you ever are in my area stop by. I have several pieces on the floor. I would be happy to help you with any questions you might have. I know that the paint may be less expensive on line than it is in most stores. I do have a on line store. www.southernvintageredefined.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310874332287565711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597923384752980090.post-23243778878740581492011-08-01T10:48:14.997-04:002011-08-01T10:48:14.997-04:00Sunshine ~ The wax will be a little sticky till it...Sunshine ~ The wax will be a little sticky till it dries. Wait till it is completely dry before deciding if you need to wipe it back. I would try to buff it out first once it has completely dry which has taken up to 24 hours on some of my pieces in our humidity. <br><br>I did put a little on a cloth and wipe back the heavy places and yes it did wipe off some of the paint but that was OK because that was sort of what I was going for on that piece. I reapplied a light layer of wax once I was sure all the mineral spirits was dry.<br>Sure hope I helped and I would love to see your piece when you get it done.<br>hugs & have fun, Cherrycherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08675584278974972011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597923384752980090.post-55682593058496249122011-08-01T10:23:31.652-04:002011-08-01T10:23:31.652-04:00Cherry, Just a quick question-when you say you had...Cherry, Just a quick question-when you say you had to wipe it back with mineral spirits (it's my first attempt and it my wax is slightly sticky too!) did you just put a little on a cloth and drag across the piece? did you have to repaint? Thanks so much-love your blog!

Some pieces I have applied a couple of coats but make sure you allow it to dry and buff before you decide to apply the second coat. If applied to thick the wax will become sticky which I did have happen in the begining and had to wipe my piece back with a little mineral spirits. Hope that helps.. hugs, Cherrycherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08675584278974972011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597923384752980090.post-60599026016214949932011-07-28T12:00:37.107-04:002011-07-28T12:00:37.107-04:00I am working on a bench right now.

Does that make since..lol. Without the wax it drys down flat which is the look I want for some picture frames, adding the wax helps protect the piece and gives it a little shine. I have been playing/abusing the desk that I'm going to repaint just to see how tough the paint is and it's pretty tough. Hope that helps..please holler if you have any other questions I will be happy to help if I can.. The best part about this paint is it that you can paint over and over till you get the look you are looking for with very little effort.<br><br>Good morning Debbie My new Statesboro blogger friend..lol<br>hugs ya'llcherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08675584278974972011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597923384752980090.post-44726309583769989292011-04-19T20:02:53.235-04:002011-04-19T20:02:53.235-04:00Hey!
