    Thanks for the demonstration - it looks like an easy method to get a mission style finish. Cheers

    This is amazing, I was just over at my in-laws for Easter, and they were wondering how to fix some of their crown molding that got damaged by the steamer they were using to remove the wallpaper below. I'll be passing this along to them and letting them make a decision whether to try it or not, but this looks like a winning solution to me, thanks yet again Willie 👍

    Thank you. This is really a very helpful video. I do plan to restore some old cabinets, and this video definitely helped me narrow down my choices of color. Thank you so much for posting this.

    Great demo! Do you need to use a respirator while applying this wax? Any VOCs?

      Thanks Steve. I don't find the need, as long as I'm in a large space when applying the wax. It is toluene based, which some people are sensitive to. Kind of like Simple Green - some people don't mind it, but others can't stand it. Either way, the smell dissipates in about 48hrs. Best to you.

    Have you tired the Jacobean? I’ve just ordered it to restore a table. I think it’s a little darker than the current dark brown. Thanks for showing the effects of these, very helpful.

      No I haven't tried that color. I would only use the dark tones on a finish that's already very dark or black. I never try to make a light or mid toned piece of furniture dark with wax. Just something I've learned through past mistakes. Thanks and good luck with your project!

    You did this more like a stain. Why didn't you let them dry then buff them out as it is a wax? I'm wondering if that would change the color and results. I plan to redo a warn table top and appreciate the first part of video where you repeated went over the warn area.

      If you wait too long to remove it, it can be tough to buff off. Instead, I recommend applying and immediately removing most of the wax. Then let it dry for a few minutes and buff the haze with a clean cloth once or twice as needed.

      Worn, not 'warn'.🙂

      Can I use this product on my kitchen cabinets that have some kind of clear top coat? I like my 90’s colored brown wood cabinets but I don’t like the glossy top coat. I like that style that’s sort of…dull? Kind of like the Arts & Craft’s finish? Anyway,my question is will this cover up shiny glossiness on my cabinets?
