The Perfect Companion for Your Creative Finishing Touches

Versatility at Your Fingertips

The Stencil And Wax Brush is a must-have tool for furniture restoration enthusiasts and DIY creators. Its sturdy design, featuring an ergonomic wooden handle and high-quality white synthetic filaments, ensures precise and controlled application. This brush is specifically designed for stencil techniques, where tapping is essential to prevent paint bleed and achieve sharp, clean patterns.

Beyond stencilling, this brush also excels in applying decorative waxes. Its dense bristles help work the product deep into wood surfaces or over chalk paint, enhancing durability while adding rich depth and character to your finish.

A Natural Design for Comfortable Handling

At Colorantic, we design tools that make creativity enjoyable and effortless. The natural wooden handle provides a comfortable, secure grip, allowing you to work on detailed areas for extended periods without fatigue. The white filaments are carefully selected for their softness, ensuring delicate surfaces remain scratch-free during finishing work.

  • Dual Purpose Use: Ideal for both stencilling and wax application
  • Enhanced Precision: Compact round shape reaches tight corners and intricate mouldings
  • Easy Maintenance: Synthetic fibres clean easily with soap and water, maintaining their shape project after project

Tips for a Professional Result

For stencil work, use a minimal amount of paint and apply with light vertical tapping motions to avoid bleeding under the edges. For wax application, work in small sections to ensure even absorption before buffing with a soft cloth. For step-by-step guidance and expert techniques, don’t forget to explore our YouTube channel and tutorials to refine your skills.

This brush is the perfect addition to your toolkit. It pairs seamlessly with oval brushes by handling the final finishing stages that bring character and depth to your furniture. Transform everyday objects into unique pieces with the precision and quality your projects deserve.

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.

An estimate. Porous, textured or strongly contrasting surfaces absorb more — buy a little over rather than risk a second batch in a different tint lot.

Before you start

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.
