Metallic Bronze Wax Bundle

Save 20% and get everything you need to create your own beautiful antique bronze gilding wax with depth of colour and multiple tones. It gives a unique metallic finish to internal wooden furniture, picture frames, candlesticks and other items to enhance decorative details and let them shine. 

The antique bronze 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:

• Beautiful Bronze Frensheen
• Browning Wax
• Stencil Brush

How to use it

Simply mix your Beautiful Bronze 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 Beautiful Bronze 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 bronze finish, giving it a more original and less flat appearance. 

For shiny surfaces make sure you scuff-sand before applying your gilding wax.

• Transfer the required amount of Browning Wax and Frensheen to a suitable airtight container for mixing and storage. The mixture will last for months.
• The more powder you add, the stronger the metallic effect. However, avoid adding so much that the texture becomes gritty or crumbly. If necessary, add more wax to achieve a butter-like consistency.
