Can you use this as a top coat over a wax? Annie sloan paint requires a wax first then a sealer if your doing a table.

I have never tried it myself, but I would put maybe a few coats on a small area that way if it didn't work you have less to get off. Just a suggestion.

i would recommend you too use a gel top coat for this product. that way, it wont move or mess up your design.

If you are wanting to paint and use the shellac as a seal since paint really doesnt need anything over it....that would work....I use the shellac as a covering over areas that arent going to get much "traffic" Anything with a lot of wear/tear I would use a urethane....But a good paint, I have always thought of as a sealer and a protection not needing urethane or a lacquer/shellac, If you do put a coating over the paint. dont apply it for at least 10 days to make sure your paint is dry. Depending, of course, on the type of paint. Other wise the paint could remain uncured under the coating....I found that out the hard way.

You're overestimating the lasting power of a very thin coat of wax. The Klassee sealant is the best car paint protectorant I have ever used, as with ALL waxing or sealant products it has a solvent effect to remove oxidation, old wax and other surface pollutants which are then removed when you wipe away the glaze. I do what a lot of others have done and it you have some muscle power put the sealant on wipe away the glaze then use Mothers, or any name brand Brazillian Carnuba wax on top of the sealant. This is PURE CARNUBA, not products with Carnuba in them. EXTREMELY important. With this top coat added to the Klassee you'll have the highest gloss finish you can get. You'll thank me. Oh and I don't sell anything, I'm not a shill, just a car enthusiast living in an extreme enviorment, Phoenix, AZ

Wax should make the gloss otherwise it's dull and chalky look only not really satisfied with this I did it but the look are not what I expected should have spent little more $ and buy Restauration Hardware paint look great or Benjamin Moore paint . No idea what you doing with it but regular paste wax in can for furnitures will look glossy.I use to do faux fini and trompe l'oeil murals in France because you find fantastic selection of paints color wax and more,here nothing, the price there are very high maybe will be no customers for it here. Still frustrating.

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.

I believe it does, but then I haven't used Annie Sloan's dark wax, so what do I know... I did use it as Annie has you use her dark wax, but it is a lot less expensive. With either one you'll want to use the stiff round brush that pushes the wax into tight places. You'll find it on Amazon, and it's a joy to use.

What I like to do is use a good sealant first like "Klasse", then apply a carnauba wax like P21s over it. It helps to have a good paint job to begin with of course.

This is a surface prep medium. Not to be used as a top coat. Also, this doesn't dry completely clear like you would think. I suggest a spray varnish or something like modge podge.

Absolutely! It's great quality stuff and their should be plenty enough of wax for a 20 dining tables and more! Just apply a nice layer of the wax in the table and rub it in let it sit for 20 minutes than polish it off with a clean tag than if you want apply another coat and repeat the process and it will protect the table nicely and make it more resistant to water and dirt!

Hi Eric. It just so happens I have stumbled on a nice sealer/finisher, a totally matte spray by Deco Art, Americana. It is nicely clear, doesn't seem to yellow the paint and is just the ticket for the crackle medium. I found it on Amazon, and it may be a bit pricier than something you'd find in Home Depot type box store, but it works fine. I'm doing a big wall cupboard in crackle, and I am thinking about using it on a table if it's conducive to using as a dining top finish. Good luck! Terri C.

I personally would only use it over a "real wax" but if you are diligent, you could use it by itself. I would not use it on glass (use rain-x)

Here's the deal - anything can be painted. That said, ensure you have properly prepared the surface...my suggestion would be a rough scuff with some 10 grit sand paper, a good wipe down (isopropyl alcohol...quote until rag is clean), all purpose primer, and finally, your selected topcoat. Ensure you check the manufacturer's suggest paint cure times. Another rule of thumb is to make sure you apply light coats of primer and topcoat until you have received the desired effect. Good luck!

I used this over a oil based product. The Generals Gel Stain, oil based. It worked very well on a bathroom vanity. I am referring the wood cabinetry portion, not the top counter. I use a polyacryllic top coat on some water based paints, if I am not using a wax finish. I use a lot of chalk paint to re- purpose furniture. I will be trying a new paint by Amy Howard, for that I will use her wax for my finish. Amy Howard wax dries to hard finish without a "melt factor".

It can but its not really recommended. Glossifier is supposed used with plasti dip, at least 3-4 coats, and it's not intended to be used as an alternative to clear coat if that's what you're trying to accomplish. What exactly are you trying to do?

I painted over this with Benjamin Moore enamel paint since I was refinishing a piece of furniture, but I can't see why you couldn't paint over it with acrylic paint...

I would say that you can use the top coat as polish. I don't know how well it will stick without having the color layer under it...since the colored layer isn't shiny, the clear top coat really sticks to it. I hope this helps!
