The antique copper gilding wax can be used to transform painted surfaces, metal, wood, laminate and plastic. We recommend using our perfectly sized stencil brush for application.
Features:
- Cool Copper Frensheen
- Browning Wax
- Stencil Brush
How to use it
Simply mix your Cool Copper Frensheen and Browning Wax in a 50/50 ratio and dab the mix into raised details with the stencil brush or simply use your thumb to highlight areas. For example, a small project like a picture frame would require roughly one teaspoon of Cool Copper Frensheen mixed with one teaspoon of Browning Wax.
Quick tip: Don’t mix it until it’s completely uniform, as leaving subtle variations will add depth and dimension to the copper finish, giving it a more original and less flat appearance.
For shiny surfaces make sure you scuff-sand before applying your gilding wax.
