WHITE WAXING NEW TIP blue nightstands

 

Somewhere along this journey of mine I learned about coloring your wax with ASCP. 

 I have played with it on a few projects in the past but not to great extent.

 

 

Before stepping out to try this technique I do suggest it is best to get a good handle on regular waxing first.

 

 

Quite simply you added a small amount of paint color to a small amount of wax and mix it together.

It can add so much depth and style to any project.

 

 

These elaborate little beauties got a serious make over with a final coat of whitened wax.

 

 

 

Next time I will show you the details that went into building what I have nicknamed

*The Blue Paris Beauties*

CHEATING WITH CHAIR UPHOLSTERY tip

 

 

 

This is a mini tip to help your fingers and blood pressure get all the way through

removing old fabric from the wood base of your dining chairs.

 

 

Using something to pry the staples with like a flat screw driver

the wood anyway you see fit. A bonfire is not an option for the upcoming tip to be effective!

 

 

You have now pulled 7 hundred and fifty six staple and along the way you have avoided

the tricky stuff like these clumps from a happy staple user of the past.

Sometimes patience isnt enough to deal with every last staple and messy crap so ... 

 

Pull all the easy ones, anything sticking up but leave the rest ...

then flip your board over and use the clean side.

 

 

This side of the wood has not seen the light of day in countless years and is brand new.

Unless you are the princess and the pea no one will feel or see a few staples left behind hiding

under new foam.
