How to antique a table?
I painted a table with white chalk paint and some spots painted with sea spray additive.So some spots are raised and rough. I want finished it off with some type of antiquing gel or wax. I do not want it to look to orange (raw umber) or to dark.I just want it to look old and weathered. I was wondering if someone could give me some suggestions on the best Antiquing technique. Gel/WaxThank you Mary

Hi Mary. I love the Antiquing Glaze from Fusion Mineral Paint. It is subtle and has a long open time so you can easily wipe it back if you put too much on. I have used it many times and it is my go to glaze over antiquing wax. You can see it on this post here. I used it on the frame around my wall chalkboard. Hope that helps ;) http://www.recreateddesigns.com/2016/05/making-a-wall-chalkboard/
Have you thought of a glaze? It would add a pretty finish.
