The ‘Pinkie Test’

The ‘Pinkie Test’ … or you could use the end of your brush if you want to keep your fingers clean! One question we get asked a lot is ‘How much Wax do I apply after painting?’ The answer is ‘not a lot!’
We put on a thin layer of wax, just about enough so you see a slight colour change, then rub off any excess as well.
A simple test if you’re unsure is to run your finger across the surface after waxing – if you can see ‘tide’ marks (like in the picture) then that’s too much – wipe some off.
A 500ml tin of Wax goes a long way!#morethanpaint annie sloan pinkie test#ChalkPaint™ #dovetails #anniesloan
