Do I stain with clear wax first, then half clear half dark wax mixture? I read that this is a method that will need to be redone yearly? I want this project to be sealed properly so I don’t need to revisit each year....what should I do? I already used a clear coat of clear wax, should I stop and wipe off or continue as directed?First timer using chalk paint on cupboards.....
