Many of you have sent us questions regarding the choice of finish. Here is a short guide that will help you choose the right product to use for your project.<\/span><\/p>\n We have three finishing products:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1000×1000-6.jpg” alt=”finishing” title_text=”1000×1000 (6)” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Glacis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our waxes are offered in six shades:<\/span><\/p>\n They are available in various sizes: 2, 4 and 8 oz. They are made with beeswax and natural oil. The beeswax is passed through a sieve to make it clear, so it does not cause pale-colored furniture and accessories to yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n Our wax, Natural Bee, is 100% natural, you can use it without fear for all objects that will come into contact with food since it is approved FOOD grade by Health Canada. So it is safe to use on butcher blocks, cutting boards, wooden fruit bowls etc.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/3-2.jpg” alt=”finishing” title_text=”3″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Glacis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our waxes have been designed to protect paintwork.<\/span><\/p>\n The clear wax, Natural beeswax gives a slightly satin effect. It is very important that wax is the last product to be applied to your project because if you apply paint, varnish or glaze over the wax it will prevent good adhesion.<\/span><\/p>\n Waxes containing pigments allow you to give your furniture a boost by making it unique! You can achieve a cloud effect, Whitewashed and a Shabby-Chic style with our wax, Snow White. You want a style that wears over time, you must use the waxes, Antique Brown and\/or Charcoal Black and for a faded barn wood style effect, it is with the wax, Gray Storm, that you will obtain the expected result.<\/span><\/p>\n To find out more about the false finishes possible with our waxes, read our articles dedicated to waxes:<\/span><\/p>\n Canadian Colorantic\u2122 Waxes<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/en\/our-products\/” button_text=”Colorantic’s products” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#ef6079″ button_border_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Development” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Glacis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Colorantic offers you four choices of glazes:<\/span><\/p>\n They are available in sizes: 4, 8, 16, 32, 58 and 128 oz (gallon).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-2.jpg” alt=”glaze” title_text=”2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Glacis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Ancestor of varnish, glaze was for a very long time the finishing product of painters and cabinetmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n It takes longer to dry than water-based varnish.
