First of all, Canadian Colorantic™ waxes are made in 5 colors (Natural Bee, Gray Storm, White Snow, Black Charcoal and Antique Brown). They are also available in 2oz, 4oz and 8oz formats. What’s more, they’re made from high-quality natural products such as beeswax and natural oils. For each color, we add pigments.
Firstly, the waxes are designed to protect your furniture following the application of Colorantic™ chalk paint. Colorantic’s pigment-containing waxes will give your furniture that special shine!
The 5 available colors
Possible finishes with Colorantic™ waxes
Natural beeswax on acai berry
Finished with natural beeswax
In short, in addition to protecting the paint, Natural Beeswax leaves a satin finish on the color.
However, it is not recommended for table tops, kitchen cabinets or bathroom furniture.
By the way, wax can take from 7 days to a month to dry properly, although this depends on how much you’ve applied.
And waxed furniture should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Finished with Neige blanche wax
Then, for a faded effect, or a seaside look, white snow wax is an excellent choice! Because it can be used on light colors (not including whites) and darker colors.
To ensure that everything goes according to plan, we suggest that you apply the natural beeswax first, to facilitate the application of our colored waxes.
Once again, here is an effect of white snow wax on acai berry.
To achieve an antique effect, use Antique Brown wax on a cotton ball.
Finished with antique brown wax
And if you want an antique effect for your project? Then use our Antique Brown wax in corners and cavities, and you’re done!
For best results, we suggest you apply the natural beeswax first to facilitate the application of our colored waxes.
Finished with Tempête grise wax
But then again, is a barnwood style the look you want for your furniture? Because you can do it with gray storm wax.
Even so, we suggest you apply the natural beeswax first to facilitate the application of our colored waxes.
Tempête grise wax on cotton ball
Illustrates well the effect of Charbon noir wax on our Cotton ball color
Finished with Charbon noir wax
So not only is our Charcoal Black wax ideal for getting a worn finish. Apply to corners of furniture and doors, and in cavities.
That’s why we suggest you apply the natural beeswax first, to facilitate the application of our colored waxes. Because otherwise the results won’t be as seen here. This way, the color will glide on better and be more uniform!
Barn wood” finish
More than one wax color can be superimposed on a surface. If you’re leaving your project on natural wood, but would like to highlight it, layer the following colors: Antique Brown, Grey Storm and White Snow!
And voila, you have a “barn wood” finish.
Here, grey storm wax, antique brown and white snow on natural wood.
Finally, you are now in a position to make an informed choice regarding wax. Moreover, our waxes are available in both individual and set formats.

Quick Question how long should it take for a wax coat to dry?
Colorantic
Waxes takes between 1 to 7 days to cure. Use a cloth to press the wax in order to have it dry faster.
Veronique
Can I put the wax (antic brown) straight on bear wood (pine)?
Colorantic
It’s best if you add the natural beeswax first, then the dark wax. C’est mieux si vous appliquez la cire naturelle d’abeille avant puis la cire foncée après.
Tara
Is it better to apply with the wax brush or a cloth?
Sarina Bernard
It’s better to use the wax brush. The cloth will absorb the wax. There is less loss with à brush. The other advantage with the brush is that it’s easier to create an antique look when you use a coloured wax. We recommend a different brush for each wax colour.
Veronique
Does the wax act as a “sealer” after you’ve applied chalk paint? Or should we use top coat?
Colorantic
Both are sealers, wax and top coat. Don’t add wax underneath varnish. But the opposite is possible.
Blair
I’m working on the frame of a mirror and have one coat each of clear and dark brown creme wax. I want to add black for more depth. Can I use your black wax for this? Should I put a coat of clear on first?
Sarina Bernard
You can add the black wax directly on the mirror. You don’t need to put another coat of clear.
