Jeanne on Jun 03, 2013If you wax over the wet wax, possibly it will help remove some of the other wax. Be sure to buff ALOT, Im talking Karate Kid over here!! Buff on, Buff off, this creates a smooth and non shiny finish! Hope this helps!!Helpful Reply

Janet metzger on Jun 03, 2013If all else fails you can also use odorless mineral spirits and clean rags to remove the wax and begin again with fresh wax. MS is a solvent for wax, but not Chalk Paint® so your paint will be fine. Good Luck!Helpful Reply

Colleen on Jun 04, 2013Thanks for the help. I applied the third coat last night and really buffed off the extra wax. Still have a lot of buffing to do today. Hopefully I get a good finish. Whew!Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Jun 04, 2013Many folks over apply wax...the amount needed is much smaller than you might think...When I wax my custom furniture I use about a table spoon to do an average sized dinning table. I use Briwax.Helpful Reply

Shabby Paints on Jun 04, 2013If you must use toxic waxes, get a very small amount out of the container like KMS said on a paper plate and use very sparingly, sometimes it grabs the paint more than other times. Are you not wanting a shiney finish or is it because it is getting streaky. The more you buff the more sheen you are going to get. Here is a great how to. How are you applying? Rag brush?You might have to lightly sand and then start over. I know you don't want to hear that but waxes are very hard to work with at first. http://shab2fab.com/how-to-wax-furniture/ Good luck :)Helpful Reply
