MilkWax™ - Clear Wax Information

Clear wax is made from beeswax with a little carnauba wax. It’s ideal for use on wood, marble, or as a finish over Milk Paint. It is easy to apply, provides a durable finish with a beautiful luster, and has almost no odor.

  • Raw Wood - No prep is required.

    Milk Painted Surface - We recommend a light sand, for a smooth finish.

    • Use a clean cotton cloth or wax brush to apply wax in a thin layer, working into recesses of carved details or surface imperfections. Wipe away excess.

    • Allow it to dry for 3-5 minutes. Buff to a shine with a clean lint-free cotton cloth. This product may be applied directly over dry milk paint, directly on raw wood, or over any of our other wax finishes.

    • Additional coats will increase durability and sheen.
