Description
The Precision of Detail for Your Wax Finishing Work
Controlled Application in the Finest Details
The Colorantic 16 mm round brush with beige silk bristles is the ultimate tool for completing your furniture makeover projects with care and precision. Its compact 16 mm round head offers exceptional manoeuvrability, making it ideal for applying wax with exceptional precision and control. Unlike larger brushes, this size is perfect for reaching deep mouldings, drawer corners, and intricate carved patterns, ensuring every part of your piece receives proper protection and attention.
The natural beige silk bristles provide a soft yet responsive structure that helps wax penetrate into the pores of painted or raw wood. This is essential for achieving a durable finish and a rich, authentic patina effect.
Artisan Quality for Gentle, Controlled Work
At Colorantic, we select materials that respect the integrity of your creations. The natural silk bristles are designed to hold wax efficiently without creating excess buildup. The ergonomic wooden handle ensures a stable grip, allowing you to apply consistent pressure for smooth and controlled finishing.
Size
- Precision Format: 16 mm diameter ideal for detailed work and small decorative projects
- Natural Fibres: Beige silk bristles traditionally used for waxes and oil-based mediums
- Professional Finish: Helps achieve even sheen while preventing product accumulation in detailed areas
Tips for a Perfect Patina Finish
For best results, load a small amount of wax onto the brush tip and apply in gentle circular motions within detailed areas. After application, wipe off any excess with a soft cloth to reveal depth and character. To maintain the softness and performance of your tool, clean it after use with a wax-safe cleaner or natural brush soap. For step-by-step techniques and inspiration, don’t forget to explore our YouTube channel and tutorials to refine your skills.
This 16 mm round brush is also perfect for building subtle layers of wax to create depth, contrast, and a naturally aged look. Its controlled application allows you to gradually enhance texture without overpowering the surface, making it an excellent tool for achieving soft, elegant decorative finishes on both painted and raw wood pieces.

Sustainable Packaging and Practices
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.
