Howard Chalk-Tique Dark Paste Wax a Blend of Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Orange Oil with a UV Inhibitor Perfect for Your Shabby Chic Wax Finish (Dark)

I ordered this to wax a baby changing table I had done a repurpose on for our nursery in green chalk paint. I love how deep and rich the color is. It is extremely soft and dries pretty quickly, so be mindful of that. I’ve worked with other waxes over chalk paint before and this dries and cures MUCH faster than anything else I’ve worked with.I applied it for this project using a chalk paint/wax round brush and we waited a bit for it to debut before adding more and removing in a circular motion. If you mess up and need to remove, adding more will soften the existing wax enough to get any excess off the project. It is not incredibly dark like some waxes and it’s pretty forgiving. I do like that the quick dry time equals a relatively quick cure time as well! Pictures included for reference.

Genius product! Exactly what I was looking for.

The only reason I bought this paste wax is because it is described on Amazon as 'non toxic'. It contains petroleum distillates and 'ate through' three latex gloves. The smell is absolutely disgusting and caused headaches and nausea. The inside of my nose has been bleeding since using this product. I feel I have brought something really toxic into my home and this has caused me anxiety. I do not know how long it will take for the smell to go off from the bookcase I have waxed. I am left with a huge tub of a product I never want to use again, and which is difficult to dispose of. The listing for this product should be updated by Amazon to disclose all ingredients and to include the health and safety information.

As others have mentioned, this is very much like shoe polish, although the smell isn't quite as harsh.Despite only applying a little and a lot of polishing, it simply smeared the surface of my unit.In the end, decided to paint over it.

I've been a fan of Howard products for many years, but just recently tried this dark wax to finish my milk paint projects. It is AWESOME!!!!!! So versatile and easy to use. I will purchase again and again!

Doesn’t keep things water proof but it does give it a nice matte color. A little goes a long way and I love the smell.

I restored some chairs to my dinette set with chalk paint. This wax was easy to apply and didn’t change the color which was vanilla cream. Makes the material really soft.

No me encantó, creo que el color crema sobre el que lo quise usar es muy claro.

Brillo mate, se aplica muy fácil
