Dear Christina, your channel has the simplest and most professional presentation of very valuable information about the technique of staining with chalk paint and waxes !!!!. I want to admit that among the many similar videos on YouTube, your work is of the highest quality! Thank you very much for generously sharing your knowledge !!! I am happy that I found your channel !!!

[sarahbarham]

This helped me SO MUCH!!! I’ve never heard that you could use steel wool to buff wax before, and I had some dark wax on a dresser I did that I could not get off all the way. The steel wool did the trick in about two minutes! This SAVED the project and I’m so grateful!!!

I came home from work and I've been on a 3 week push of putting in a lot of hours so I'm tired and just needed some quiet time. I remembered it was Wednesday. Yay, I can watch Christina's 101 video released today. I grabbed a snack, settled in and totally enjoyed episode #13. It is apparent how much you have played and experimented. Thanks for sharing that. It also makes me smile when you "use what you have on hand"....I'm not the only one!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to Saturday's video. Take care and keep 'em coming!

[Behappy]

That’s a great tip mixing colour with wax ❤

[christinefeucht]

Thank you sooo much. You will never know how much I learned from this video. I took notes and and will refer to them for years to come.

[hazelmacgregor]

Will look for your teachings every Wednesday now...

[jackiesnewnormal]

I never knew I could add different paints to my clear wax! I knew I could add a little chalk paint but not the others. Great tip! 😊

[onelove]

I really love these 10 things you should or shouldn’t do or top ten other things... keep em’ coming! Thanks!

I wish you would do an episode on cleaning brushes, and your furniture. What products you use, and what not to use to clean your brushes, or furniture with. How you clean the wax and paint off your brushes.

[starlasuzannerutan]

So helpful! New sub now, and new thrifter. Thank you 🙏 😊

[hazelmacgregor]

Thank you, starting my first project with pine bedroom furniture.

[stevechappellie]

Omg. The best! I’ve worked with Annie S for years. These are terrific suggestions.

[hdb]

Microwaving, this is GENIUS! Why didn't I think of that?!

[tatiana]

Thank you, thank you for all the subtleties and secrets! I listened to you and remembered all my experiments with wax and this exactly coincides with what I discovered when I worked with wax !!!

[jeannettelavoie]

Love the idea of softening the wax because it will also go easy on the Bristol's we use ;) it's very annoying when you're losing bristles in your hard walks LOL

[greenfoodcrush]

Great video! I’m still a big fan of chalk paint and have been using Annie Sloan for about 15 years and your video was still super helpful! We have a small budget to paint our kitchen cabinets and decided to do them ourselves, my husband was curious about using dark wax with lacquer and our question was answered in your video. Thanks so much!

[ongayramallal]
