It sounds like too much wax, yes. Putting wax over a latex acrylic paint needs to be an extra thin coat because it isn’t absorbing in. I’m not familiar with that brand. You will want to contact them directly for specific information about the nuances of their product. Many waxes would be fine to use in combination with each other but without knowing the solvents used in a particular brand, I am not comfortable saying for sure.

Wonderful! You can visit our website www.FleurishHome.com or you can text or call me at the shop at 513-295-2675 Monday-Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-4

Jolie Home is the brand name for this product. You can order directly from us at www.FleurishHome.com

It is an organic material used to create aging effects.

I'm not personal a user of that brand but you can recommend Jolie paint for metal kitchen cabinets. I've had long-term success with them holding up beautifully with Jolie.

Without knowing more about your products and process I can't give you an accurate answer. But I can tell you this: Good prep work is key to every project no matter what materials are being used. That means the surface should be clean (be sure not to use harsh chemicals or leave any cleaner behind on the surface), dry and stable (meaning no loose or chipping paint). Then using a quality product is important. Not all so called "chalk paint" is created equal. Many brands are very poor quality which is why Jolie changed their name to Jolie Matte Finish Paint. Too many brands using inferior ingredients are on the market using the term chalk paint now.

I've made some changes in my business so that I can start adding fresh content again in 2024. Thanks for your interest! I'll be back very soon!

I'm so glad to hear that!

Clean them thoroughly with a scotchbrite sponge (the green kind) so they will be cleaned and scuffed up a bit to help speed adhesion/curing. It will be fabulous! No priming needed :)

What kind of base paint is on your cabinets? If you have a type, brand and finish/sheen all of that would be helpful to answer your question.

Jolie is the brand I use.

As you saw further in the video--yes! It is easy to clean waxed cabinets and maintain them as well as easy clean up of the tools!

@@FleurishHome my dad is so old school, I need to teach him this is an awesome product.

@@frogstomp1908 totally understand! I was a doubter at first too. I have been refinishing furniture and painting professionally for over 30 years (wow does that make me feel old lol!)

Thats amazing! I have always had a nak to painting walls and wood work, my dad taught me well, and I have just recently began with the chalk paint. I appreciate your quick response! If I have any future questions, I hope I can reach out!! Thank you!!

Thank you! That color is actually on sale on our website for more than 1/2 off! Here is the link: www.fleurishhome.com/marigold-matte-finish-paint.html?id=32819142&quantity=1

It sure will! I always recommend scuffing the melamine a little bit first and allowing a little extra dry time between coats. It works great!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Old paint on concrete needs to be powerwashed to not only clean the surface but remove as much of the old latex paint as possible before repainting as latex paint will continue to chip over time even if covered over as the issue of adhesion only increases with time and weather. Good news though is if you use Jolie to paint next time it won't chip off. Over the coarse of years of sun and weather it will only fade making redoing easier next time.

Jolie Home Matte Finish Paint. It is not latex so it soaks into the concrete much like a concrete stain would so it won't chip off. You can purchase it here and use discount code SHOPBONUS! to save 15% until Dec 31, 2022: www.fleurishhome.com/shop/paint-supplies/jolie-matte-finish-paint/

If it feels sticky then there is too much wax. Since you've already tried sanding, I'd suggest taking off some of the excess wax with low odor mineral spirits and some bleached cotton towels or rags in a box. The mineral spirits will only remove the wax and not the paint. After wiping it down, let it dry and see if you need to do a bit more. If you like a bit of shine you can finish it off with buffing it out with #0000 steel wool which will help even out the wax by removing some in the heavier areas and make everything shiny. If you take off too much wax you can always apply a super thin quick coat to even it back out. Let me know how it turns out! Message back if you need any more help--always happy to assist! -Debra

I recommend just sanding if you are using Jolie.

Great questions! You should remove all the thermafoil which can be done with a heat gun on low to warm it and it will peel off. The wooden surface that remains is MDF which paints beautifully! Use the Jolie Matte Finish Paint directly on the MDF and seal the paint with wax as shown in the video. They will be beautiful!

Thanks so much :) You are absolutely a gem :)

@@saundier6362 you’re so welcome! Happy to help anytime!

On kitchen cabinets typically every 2-3 years. If you are more aggressive at washing them down regular once a year tops! If you are the barely cook in my kitchen camp probably never needed!

Thank you! I used the brown in this video but both look really pretty over the grey. I opted to warm it slightly with the brown.

Thanks for the reply! So i did this and I'm not into the dark wax, can i just paint right over it and then wax again it will the wax under the chalk paint not work? I'm assuming from what I've heard on this video that i can do that but just making sure there aren't any extra steps i should take

What kind of wood is it and what color are you using?

@@FleurishHome They are oak, and I wanted to paint them Annie Sloan Chateau Gray (which is more of a green-gray)

Ok so the oak is probably giving you some tannin bleed through. Priming does not stop that. The only thing that stops it is shellac. I would recommend clear since you are using a mid-tone color. Also when Annie Sloan changed her formula and manufacture we were not happy with her new product so we stayed with the US manufacture that had been paying her a license fee to use her name on their product. That product is now labeled as Jolie Home and is my recommended product. Most of the videos showing AS are using that US formula so if it’s still giving you some troubles after using the shellac I’d recommend trying the Jolie brand instead.

Used Trewax clear paste wax

No worries! This is fixable! I’m not familiar with that brand but the solution is the same regardless of brand. It sounds like you didn’t remove the excess wax as you were going and have too much wax for sure. Gently wipe off the excess wax using several dye free cotton cloths and mineral spirits. Mineral spirits will not remove the paint. The paint is water based so mineral spirits does not affect it. After a few swipes to remove the wax let it rest for 15-20 minutes and check to see how it feels. If barely sticky then buffing it should do the trick to help it cure. If it’s still too sticky then remove some more with the towels and mineral spirits. If you removed too much a quick coat removing the excess immediately with solve that. Some waxes are definitely more compatible than others and easier to work with. I’d recommend trying Jolie next time as I’ve found it to be the most forgiving. Good luck-you’ve got this!

You will not need to start over! I’d be happy to help guide you to the best solution to get them to where you love them. Can you send me some photos so i can see what you aren’t likening so i can best advise? My email is debra@fleurishhome.com

Prep work is key. Making sure they are super clean and dry is truly all that is needed of you use Jolie. Keep in mind not all “chalk paint” is created equal. The big box store brands are very poor quality and will not hold up over time. I have cabinets that i painted 10 years ago that are still holding up beautifully.

Great questions. Keep in mind not all “chalk paint” is the same. Many so called chalk paints are just poor quality latex paint with lots of chalk in them to make them matte and to get more yield from the product but they will not last. I recommend Jolie as that is what I’ve found to have the best longest lasting results. For kitchen cabinets if you want a glazed finish i personally recommend using a paint wash instead of a glaze because it is easier to do and more forgiving (i have another video on that specifically if you’re interested here on our TH-cam channel) and then sealing with clear wax. That will hold up the best long term with very little to no maintenance and be easy to repair should any mishaps happen to them. You certainly can use a glaze but will then need to use a clear coat varnish over the glaze. I never recommend a poly which is not compatible with matte finish paints and can also yellow over time. Varnish is similar but different and a much better choice. You will still need to watch for drips and runs and should sand in between coats for the smoothest finish. I personally love the look and feel of wax and the ease and speed at which you can apply the wax. It is sooo much faster and easier but it really is a personal choice.

Keep in mind not all “chalk paint” is the same. Stay away from the brands at the big box stores-they are not good quality paints. I’ve had amazing long term success using Jolie on metal. For best results give yourself a little extra time to complete the project. Keep your paint nice and thin and let each coat dry fully overnight before applying the next. You will need 2-3 THIN coats over the metal. Let the final coat dry overnight before waxing. Do 2-3 thin coats of wax to ensure even coverage keeping in mind you don’t want to leave a waxy build up just good even coverage soaked into the paint. Be gentle with them for the first couple of weeks while they finish curing.

Keep in mind that not all chalk paint is created the same. Many of the brands use a lot of chalk in their paint to make it go further and give it a matte finish but that also leads to poor bonding qualities meaning it either won’t stick to the laminate or won’t last. The Jolie brand we use will adhere and create a strong long lasting bond. Here are my pro tips for painting laminate: Keep your paint nice and thin-your first coat will barely cover and will be uneven and that’s ok. If the paint wants to separate (like a lacey oil in water look reach back out and I’ll give you some additional tips. This is rare but can happen with some surfaces) Let your first coat dry overnight to give it cure time to bond properly to the surface. Paint your second coat and let it dry a minimum of 4 hours if you need a third coat of paint and overnight before you wax it.

Kitchen cabinets are a big project however using Jolie paint and wax compared to any other refinishing method will cut your time in half at minimum! And it is also much much easier and more forgiving than any other products on the market.

Yes it does sound like a little over waxing if lint is in your wax. This is very fixable though so no worries! Using a lint free cotton towel or a rag-in-box (not a paper towel) you can do one of two things: 1. If the wax is only a little heavy you can put a little fresh wax on the towel and rub in the surface to “wake up” the dried wax. Fresh wax will soften and remove some of the dried wax and your wiping motion will be able to remove the lint. Immediately use a fresh dry cloth to wipe off the excess wax leaving your surface dry right away. Remember to work in small areas to avoid over waxing. 2. If you can scratch the wax with your finger nail and pull any wax off you’ll want to use some rags in a box (again not paper towels) with some low odor mineral spirits. The mineral spirits will remove the wax but will not harm the paint at all. This can take a couple or several towels to do depending on how heavy the wax or big the area. That will quickly remove anything trapped. Dark colors show every little imperfection. It’s just the opposite for furniture than our clothing. Lol. You’ve got this! If you need more help please don’t hesitate to call the shop.

This paint is very different than latex though so that’s not surprising. It was a game changer for me when i had my professional refinishing business-faster and easier application, easier to repair any damage/wear down the road, just as durable as factory finish, higher end look and feel than latex but more durable-just a few reasons why i sold my top of the line sprayer and went back to hand painting when i started using Jolie.

Just warm soapy water cleans most everything. They really do hold up as well as a varnish. The difference is once varnish starts to wear down you have to strip the finish and completely redo. With wax you can just touch up the wax and you are good as new with a fraction of the time and effort.

Aww thank you 🥰

It depends on the brand. If you are using Jolie no primer is needed. Jolie bonds to wax and there are no primers on the market anywhere that bond to wax!

Hi Linda! Yes this will absolutely adhere perfectly to your current substrate. You will need to clean them very thoroughly using the method in the video. We can do custom gallons in any color you’d like! We can color match to any other paint company or match a fabric swatch-whatever you’d like.

¡Sí tu puedes! Pinta 2-3 capas manteniéndolas muy delgadas y deja secar cada capa 6-8 horas antes de aplicar la siguiente.

Jolie Linen

@@FleurishHome Thanks:)

For a light greyish blue that would be French Blue. Super pretty! If you want more of a grey with a blue undertone then French Grey would be your color.

Totally fine! The Jolie brand will adhere better than primer and it truly holds up using just the clear wax to seal it.

Great question! Just warm soapy water does a great job.

@@FleurishHome thank u my dear thank u appreciate ❤️🌺💖💞💝🌿💗🌻💙💓🌼🌹💐💖💕

We can ship it to you if there isn’t a Jolie retailer near you. Do not buy the “chalk paint” at the box stores because it is not at all the same kind or quality.
