Water has a high heat indexâit absorbs a lot of heat before it begins to get hot. This is why water is valuable to industries and in your car's radiator as a coolant. The high specific heat index of water also helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual rather than sudden, especially near the oceans.
Anyway, I finally bought the chalk paint and clear wax and got started. I did three coats of paint (with at least 24 hours of drying time in between) and yesterday I put on a coat of clear wax (with the uber-expensive wax brush). First of all you donât have to wait that long between coats of paint. Depending on humidity, an hour or two should be enough.
Always make sure there is a layer of clear wax first before applying the dark wax, and you want that layer of clear wax to still be fresh or wet so that the dark wax is workable. Work in small sections at a time. If you do not apply the clear wax first, the dark wax with actually stain your paint. Leave as a soft matte finish, or buff to sheen, if desired. For a higher sheen level, wait 24 hours to buff with a soft cloth.
