  • Is MilkWax™ a durable finish?

    YES, it is durable. If it’s marred, just lightly sand and add another coat of wax. Refinishing the entire piece is not required.

    Can I use MMS MilkWax™ over other paints?

    Yes, you can use MMS Waxes on acrylic, chalk/clay paints, flat latex, stained wood, etc.

    What’s the difference between MMS MilkWax™ Antiquing and other tinted waxes on the market?

    Our antiquing wax was developed specifically for painted finishes. Some tinted waxes are meant to be used as a wood stain/wax in one. Those waxes are saturated with pigments and can look heavy or streaky if not mixed with clear wax or mineral spirits. Antiquing wax has a small amount of pigment, and works similar to a glaze. It is also low odor and is applied the same as furniture and white wax.

    Is MilkWax™ Antiquing food-contact safe?

    No, it should not be used on surfaces that come into contact with food or a child’s mouth. Instead, use MilkWax-ECO™
