Good Morning Talkers, I'm stuck at home today without a car. I want to add a glaze to an old cedar chest I've painted.

Janet metzger on Mar 09, 2012I think I read in one of Annie Sloan's older books that she added mineral spirits to her dark wax to create a glaze..what do you think?Helpful Reply

Donna McCrummen on Mar 09, 2012I will try it today HandyANDY - I also want to remove wax - only the wax not the stain - from a table top so I can seal it with Varathane. I'm going to try wiping it down with mineral spirits.Helpful Reply

Donna McCrummen on Mar 10, 2012I've considered going to the workshop in Leesburg but am not sure what I would get out of it. I've already taken Patty's workshop and have been practicing the different techniques. Bragging rights may be worth the trip "Trained by Annie Sloan" -- sorry can't call her the Queen as I'm the only Queen in my book. LOL Have a great time and a safe trip.Helpful Reply

Terri J on Mar 10, 2012If we don't call our ownselves Queen, then who else will? (lol). Sorry you are stuck at home without a car today, but at least you have a project to work on... I would rahter do that then the laundry, etc that I put off until today.Helpful Reply
