I'm not happy with coverage of the antiquing wax I put on a project this morning. Is there something I can use to remove some of it? Thanks.
Go to the Dollar Tree and get some LA Awesome and a green scrubby (the square piece), spray your project and rub it off, rinse the scrubby as needed. Then refinish.

I am not sure if this is on wood furniture, fabric or what. Here are some ideas

Hi Lynn, if it is the chalk wax I am hoping this helps you out,

Dampen a rag with mineral spirits. That will remove the wax. That is an outside project because of the odor!
Hi Lynn, I'm assuming this is on wood or a piece of furniture. You could just start sanding and that would remove it. Start with 180 and work your way up to 220.
I would probably go with mineral spirts first! Sanding it can lead to your sand paper getting a gummy build up.
