Something Painted™ Finishing Polish is not required but does add protection and durability and gives the surface a high-sheen. It’s easy to get sensational results. Using a cloth or brush apply the polish sparingly. Remove excess polish. Less is more, so there’s no need to apply the polish too thickly. The polish will dry immediately after you’ve applied it. Work small areas at a time so the polish doesn’t dry before you get to work it in. To finish, buff the surface with a dry cloth. Repeat buffing after 24 hours for a shiny look. Made with beeswax and a high proportion of carnauba wax, it is excellent for decoupage and chalk paint finishes.
