Honestly that's why I switched to poly on top of pieces, expecially if they'll get a lot is use and abuse. I do love the wax, but it drives me crazy when there's on small spot that doesn't look the same as the rest! I can't wait to see your new family room!

You will still see the grain but it won't be so "blotchy." I do not use any gel stain but GF...I have tried the minwax and it just does not come out as pretty! Part of the problem is the stain you used has a poly finish in it so once it is down, another coat of a regular stain is not going to penetrate....so it is impossible to make adjustments without using gel stain. Next time try using a stain WITHOUT a "sealer/finisher" and that way you can layer another stain if you don't like the color or look. Also, before you sand the wax spots you aren't happy with, try just stripping it with mineral spirits or whatever lightly strips wax. I don't wax chalk paint...I use poly. Preference.<br />Otherwise, it IS beautiful!!!

I have a similar table that has sat in my basement for longer than I care to recount (wheels included), since I haven't been able to figure out what to do with it. I love your idea - it turned out beautifully. Mine has a top that flips open, but after seeing yours torn off, it's getting my wheels turning again (no pun intended). ;-)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495632363525073088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-46180676010199528592014-07-21T14:35:00.439-04:002014-07-21T14:35:00.439-04:00It looks perfect in your room.
