DARK WAXING WITH STEEL WOOL VIDEO - AS Graphite Paint

Black paint finishes are tricky and hard to make look right, and I don't work with Annie Sloan's Graphite paint all that often but when I do I have a tried and tested method to get that great finish that I want.

  

I have finished two short videos to share with you

of me using dark wax on Annie Sloan Graphite Paint and

using fine steel wool to apply it.

HAPPY DARK WAXING!

STEEL WOOL has  been used by wood workers for decades.

FINE steel wool is used for buffing & cleaning, shellac,

 lacquer & varnishes (use with wax or oil)

UNION JACK CHAIR - painted upholstery

It has been quite awhile since I last saw my Silver Union Jack chair I created for a charity
