FAQs

How long does it take for the wax to dry?

Drying time can vary, but generally, allow at least 1-2 hours for the wax to dry completely before buffing.

Can I use Johnstone's Finishing Wax on any painted surface?

It is best used on surfaces painted with Revive Chalky Furniture Paint. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

How do I apply the wax?

Apply with a clean rag (such as an old cotton t-shirt) in thin, even coats, using a circular motion.

How often should I reapply the wax?

Reapplication frequency depends on use and wear. Reapply when the sheen diminishes or the surface appears less protected.

What should I do if the wax appears too thick?

Wipe away the excess wax with a clean rag. Ensure you're applying thin, even coats during application.

Is the wax waterproof?

The wax provides a degree of water resistance, but it's not fully waterproof. Clean spills promptly.

Troubleshooting

Wax appears streaky after application.

Apply the wax in thin, even coats, and ensure you're using a clean rag. Buff the surface thoroughly after drying.

The finish isn't as shiny as expected.

Ensure you're buffing the surface thoroughly after the wax has dried completely. Multiple buffing sessions may be required.

Wax is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any previous wax or coatings. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.
