    I’ve seen painters over the years splatter on and rub on then rub it off a black glaze on cabinets and doors. Is this what I need to do a door? Will it work for a front door on the exterior side over oil base paint?

    Hi 562Nelson, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Decorative Chalk Wax is designed for interior projects. We recommend using an exterior finish for your project, especially as doors tend to take on a lot of weathering. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can look into an alternative finish. We hope to hear from you soon! -Lina

                  Cannot polish or buff clear
                  I used Behr chalk paint. It turned out great! Based on video advice, I bought the Behr wax to go over it. The instructions say to apply it, then allow it to dry before buffing. I did so, and realize that it is not buffing very well at all, and now my nice smooth finish looks awful! I've used a lot of elbow grease, but it isn't making any difference. I didn't expect such a solid finish. Is there anything I can do to save the project without having to sand the whole thing down?

                    Crumbly
                    I have always used Annie Sloan wax in the past for all my furniture projects but decided to try the Behr Decorative Wax because I had used the Behr Chalk paint. When I tried to take it out of the can it just crumbled. I don't even see how I can put it on my brush it is so dry and not spreadable. Terrible!!!

                    Hi GH53, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear about your poor experience with our Chalk Decorative Wax, especially compared to your previous positive experience with similar products. The wax should have a firmer consistency but will settle into the wood when buffed in. Similar to how coconut oil is firm but will smoothen out with pressure. If that is not the case, please reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist you further. We look forward to hearing from you. -Lina Behr
                      This wax was so easy to apply and to buff into a nice finish. Combined with the BEHR chalk paint, excellent!

                      Love this antique wax
                      I love this antique wax for my wooden projects. Always leaves a vintage/antique/rust look which is what I am after. Please don’t discontinue it. I noticed it was on clearance today and took the last two which were half off. I ask the associate and stated clearance items usually don’t come back. Please continue to carry this product. Thank you!!

                        This was was the perfect touch for my project - renovating an old sofa table. It went on smoothly and left a beautiful antique patina over my pale yellow chalk paint when removed. Note that it’s VERY dark, so load only a little onto your brush at a time and use light strokes to apply. Work in small sections, and remove it within a few minutes. If it’s too dry when you to to remove it, spray a little water to loosen it up.

                        My favorite chalk paint, better than Dixie Belle, Annie Sloan. The best part is that you can get any color mixed for you that Behr offers.

                        This chalk paint covered beautifully, and even tho I used a cheap brush it self leveled and was smooth as silk , I will buy again . There was nothing bad or inferior, so yep ! Good stuff!

                        Buyer Beward
                        I've used chalk paint on numerous pieces of furniture, but this is the first time I used this wax to finish them. After following the instructions on the jar, this wax completely ruined my furniture. It left while globs, streaks, and smears across the entire thing (keep in mind this was with the CLEAR wax). I now need to purchase more paint to start the entire project over again. Before and after image for comparison. The one that looks good is the before.

                          The store sold me wax that has been sitting on...
                          The store sold me wax that has been sitting on the shelf over two years. When I used the wax the product came out chunky and like it had separated. I applied it to my project assuming if I just bought it it should still be good. It ruined my entire project by leaving behind a white haze that I could not get off. Talked to Behr and they said the only solution is to strip everything off and start over. I have already spent weeks on this project and i am very disappointed the store is not able to keep its supply fresh. I cannot find fresh wax at any of the Home Depot locations. Do not recommend trying to use these products since you cant know if the product has gone bad. Be careful buying and check the dates on the label to ensure you don’t end up in my position.
