Product Information

Full details

The Cadence Finger Wax in Antique Pink is designed for crafters and artists who want to add a professional metallic finish to projects like upcycling furniture, card making, and mixed media art. Its primary benefit is the water-based, non-toxic formula that allows for direct finger application, making it highly intuitive for detailed highlighting. A notable caveat is that while it adheres well to many surfaces, it is best suited for decorative use rather than high-traffic areas prone to heavy friction or outdoor weather.

FAQs

Can I use this on fabric?

While it can be used on fabric for decorative purposes, it is not permanent on textiles and may wash out or transfer if exposed to moisture.

Does it need a sealer?

For most home decor and papercraft projects, a sealer is not required. However, for items subject to handling, you can apply a light clear acrylic spray sealer once the wax has fully cured.

How long does it take to dry?

The wax is touch-dry within minutes, but it is recommended to let it cure for several hours to achieve maximum hardness.

Is this wax compatible with chalk paints?

Yes, it works beautifully over dried chalk paint to add metallic highlights to edges and moldings.

Can I mix this with other colors?

Yes, you can blend small amounts of different Cadence wax colors together on a palette or directly on the project to create custom shades.

What is the best way to clean my hands after use?

Since it is a water-based formula, standard hand soap and warm water are all that is required to remove residue from your skin.

Troubleshooting

Wax is streaky during application

Apply in thinner layers and use a light touch to build up the color gradually.

The wax seems to dry out inside the jar

Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly after each use and store in a cool, shaded place.

Color is not adhering to a slick surface

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to give the wax more 'tooth' to grip onto.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application is straightforward: ensure your surface is clean and free of dust or oils. Use a small amount of product on your fingertip and apply using light, circular motions. For intricate crevices where fingers cannot reach, a soft foam applicator or small sponge can be used as an alternative to your finger. The wax air-dries, so ensure the container is tightly closed after every use to prevent the formula from drying out. To clean tools or your skin, use warm water and mild soap. If applying to porous surfaces like raw wood, you may choose to prime the surface first for a more consistent finish, though this is not strictly necessary for the wax to adhere.
