I have painted a cedar chest with chalk paint and have waxed it. Can I now apply a stenciled decoration?

As long as the wax is completely dry Yes. It is advisable however to re-pply the wax on the stencil.

As long as the wax has cured and is no longer "tacky" you can paint right over it. If you are worried about the thickness of the wax affecting the stencil, wipe Mineral Spirits over the top of the waxed piece, and after it has evaporated (doesnt take long) you can stencil. Hope that helps!

If it is super shiny, then I would take some steel wool and rough it up a bit. Then apply the stencil, then re-wax once it is fully dried.

Yep. Just make sure it's cured and your using chalk paint, then just rewax 😀
