However, I consider it such a blessing that I don't have to strip and sand that I hug my wax pots.<br />My lovely, lovely wax pots...I like the CCC wax, too- but I don't think it holds up as well as AS. The smell of AS wax bothers me so I have to use it outside, meaning I can't use it in the summer. I recently got MMS wax for indoor use- no smell and easy application. I can't say how it will hold up yet, but fingers crossed.<br />Yes, tell Annie your troubles.

I have used CeCe Caldwell wax, and it is very soft and goes on very quickly. Can you get it in Canada? I used a product on my tabletops called AFM Safecoat Polyureseal. It brushed on (with no smell), and I use it on anything where it needs to be waterproof or hard-wearing. Comes in Satin Finish (and gloss too, I think).

And don't get me started on dark wax. That's another letter to Annie for sure. Right now I have a beautiful dresser finished in Graphite with a red undercoat but I can't get the wax right - too dark, streaky, horrid. It's still sticky because I put so much on. And the thought of taking some mineral spirits to it and re-waxing almost makes me cry.<br /><br />Plus it's horrid for the carpal tunnel!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-31849558691590704712013-07-24T11:37:04.157-07:002013-07-24T11:37:04.157-07:00Suzan, as long as you're requesting - make sur...Suzan, as long as you're requesting - make sure it doesn't get little bubbles in it, OK? lol hate those tiny bubbles in top coats.CamilleWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668079526877014836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-42892229590976854012013-07-24T11:35:14.839-07:002013-07-24T11:35:14.839-07:00Is it bubble free, Debra?

I so wanted to try the paint, and I asked her where to find it. Only a couple of days, I got a mail from her. She is a fantastic lady and wanted to help me. She sent a mail to a shop in Sweden and they contacted me. I could have it sent from there, but it`s very expensive to ship, so I haven`t done it yet.<br /><br />Have a great day<br /><br />Hugs from hereBentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03262149220803929475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-5059731766401787202013-07-24T09:35:15.271-07:002013-07-24T09:35:15.271-07:00Yes waxing is a challenge for me too.But I hear he...Yes waxing is a challenge for me too.But I hear her lacquer is awesome to use.Better and easier than wax.Going to try it soon myself!<br />xx<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188350801843939928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-84056931390393374632013-07-24T09:00:50.306-07:002013-07-24T09:00:50.306-07:00It'll be interesting to see if you get a reply...It'll be interesting to see if you get a reply :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-70061879268388859672013-07-24T08:58:47.086-07:002013-07-24T08:58:47.086-07:00Hi Suzan,
