Being Since I intended to install new handles, I plugged the holes so that I could use handles of a different size than the original handles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I took care to clean the furniture thoroughly using Colorantic Varnish Cleaner and Remover<\/a>. I sprayed all the surfaces and let the cleaner sit for 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Using a cloth with hot water, I rinsed several times to remove all residue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once the cleaning was complete, I used the sanding block to scratch all the surfaces to allow for better paint adhesion.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Initially, the furniture was painted gray, and it is with the Kiwi<\/a> color of Colorantic that I started my work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I applied the Kiwi color horizontally so as to reveal the initial shade. This could work just as well with furniture painted a different color or made from natural wood.<\/span><\/p>\n Since Colorantic chalk paint<\/a> dries quickly, after 30 minutes I was able to apply the second color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the second color, I chose Sunflower<\/a>. I used the same technique as the first layer, so, paint a thin layer horizontally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Afterwards, I sprayed water here and there and using the brush I randomly mixed the Kiwi and Sunflower shades.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the paint was dry, I redid the same steps with the same shades as mentioned above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Transform-a-Piece-of-Furniture-into-a-Masterpiece.jpg” alt=”Transform a Piece of Furniture into a Masterpiece” title_text=”Transform a Piece of Furniture into a Masterpiece” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Project Done” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”925px” custom_margin=”-62px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”7px||20px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The finishing stage is very important, especially when we use Colorantic wax<\/a>, because it allows us to create incredible effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Using the 16mm wax brush, I applied the Natural wax bees<\/a> on all surfaces. When applying wax, it is important to work one section at a time. So I applied the wax and using a blue paper towel I rubbed very well to remove the excess. I changed paper towels at each section, because this one was engorged of wax and no longer allowed polishing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once the Natural wax bee applied to all surfaces, I applied the Antique Brown wax<\/a> to the edges using another 16mm brush<\/a>. There Natural wax bee gave me allowed me to easily apply the dark wax and also allowed me to make the necessary corrections until the desired result was obtained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ***I suggest you use a clean wax brush and make circles to better blend the gradient between the Antique Brown and Natural Bee waxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Let the wax dry well before cleaning the furniture, this can take up to a week or even more depending on the humidity level in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”67492,67494,67496,67498″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” min_height=”157px” custom_margin=”||1px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n So !
