Description
White Snow waxes are mainly used as a protective layer for furniture, after Colorantic chalk-based paint has been applied.
Features
- All purpose painting and furniture projects – These waxes work smoothly on a variety of wood and furniture surfaces.
- Premium polishing wax – Our gentle Colorantic recipe is made up of the finest basic products and is so high-end. Perfectly compatible with all chalk-based paints. It's best for chalk-style paints, milk paint and latex paint, and our waxes are used for stencils, artists, craftsmen, furniture restorers, interior decorators and more.
- 5 different colours – We have 5 different wax colours: natural clear, grey, brown, black and white. All colours are miscible and can create a variety of shades.
- 100% natural – Made by chemists. Approved by painters. It's best to prepare your surface if it's shiny. Use a TSP or Colorantic cleaner and stripper. Leave for 30 minutes, then rinse with a damp cloth. You can use our small two-grit sanding blocks to remove excess old varnish. Now you're ready to apply our Colorantic paints. Apply two coats, then leave to dry for 2 to 3 hours. Then use our Colorantic waxes with one of our round wax brushes for optimum results.
- Easy to clean – We have the perfect Colorantic mango wax and brush soap. Your furniture is finished with a wax or varnish to increase its longevity. We have different wax colours available to create the perfect ombré, vintage or antique look.

It Grips Without Sanding
On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is flaking.
Two Coats in One Day
About an hour between coats at room temperature. A piece started in the morning is back together by evening.
Water-Based, from Start to Finish
Brushes, rollers and spills clean up with warm water. No solvents, and almost no odour after a few hours.

How Much Paint for Your Surface?
Coverage depends first on what you’re painting. Here’s what one litre covers in practice, depending on the surface and how it’s prepared.
Bare Wood
- Coverage
- 9 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Sand with 180 grit, dust off, prime tannin-rich woods.
Bare wood soaks up the first coat. Plan on two coats and lower coverage than on other surfaces.
Previously Painted or Varnished Wood
- Coverage
- 12 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease, scuff with an abrasive pad, wipe dry.
On a surface that’s already sealed, the paint stays on top: that’s where coverage is at its best.
Interior Walls
- Coverage
- 11 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Wash, fill, let dry completely.
A matte wall repainted in a similar tone may need only one coat.
Melamine, Laminate and Metal
- Coverage
- 10 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease with alcohol, then a bonding primer — no exceptions.
It’s the one step you can’t skip: without a bonding primer, the paint chips at the first knock.
The Questions We Get Asked
-
Do I need to sand before painting?
Rarely. On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough to open up the surface. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is blistering or flaking.
-
How many coats should I plan for?
Two, in the vast majority of cases. One is enough to refresh a similar shade; plan on three when a dark blue or red has to disappear under a white.
-
Is a primer necessary?
On wood, plaster and drywall, no. On melamine, laminate and metal, yes: a bonding primer, otherwise nothing holds for long.
-
Can a painted surface be washed?
Once protected with wax or varnish, yes: a damp cloth and mild soap. Chalk paint left bare stays porous and stains.
-
How long should I wait between coats?
About an hour at room temperature. Wait longer if the air is humid: the coat must be dry all the way through, not just to the touch.
