$19.95Oxalic Acid is a bleaching solution for the purpose of removing stains from wood to be finished or refinished. It is also excellent for lightening timber that is to be finished to the lightest color possible.
Dissolve 8 oz. of Oxalic Acid in a half gallon of hot water. It is most effective when used hot. If the first application of the bleach does not remove the discolorations or make the surface as light as you would like , apply the same solution hot a second time and repeat as needed.
Once satisfied with the color allow to dry and be sure to neutralize with white vinigar. Saturate the bleached area and let dry.

$249.95Rosini's American Custom Liming Wax is the best White Wax for achieving a Limed, Cerused or Whitewashed finish. It works best on woods that have deep open pores like oak. However with a bit of skill you can get great effects on tight grained woods like pine, maple, birch.....
Purpose: To add a white color to the grain of the wood.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry.If working with raw hardwood, use a brass or bronze brush in a sweeping motion to remove the soft wood around the pores and to score and open the pores of soft woods. You can also use a wire brus or coarse sandpaper.
Application: Work the Liming Wax into the grain of the wood using #0000 Steel Wool or a lint-free Cheesecloth Wipe. Spread the wax out following the grain of the wood wherever possible. Let dry about 3 minutes and wipe off excess with a clean Cheesecloth Wipe. Once set up, to remove white haze, (if you don't like it), use the American Custom Paste in Neutral and wipe it through the work until you're satisfied with the result. The beauty of the technique is that if you don't like the way it looks, you can wipe out the Liming Wax with Mineral Spirits and start over.
Should you want a more durable finish you can apply my U-30 Finishing Oil over the Liming Wax. The more coats the more protection and the higher the shine. 2-3 coats is recommended. Then apply the American Custom Paste Wax in Neutral or another tint if you like, using #0000 Steel Wool over the U-30, allow to dry overnight and buff with a Cheesecloth Wipe. For a softer sheen use #0000 Steel Wool.

$39.95After several people asked about Chalk Paint Wax I decided to go ahead and develope a formula for the best Chalk Paint Wax on the market. I tested a variety of the most famous Chalk Paint Waxes and compared them to my newest formula with surprising results. The American Custom Chalk Paint Wax outperformed the others in ease of application, distinction of color, ease of buff and a way better luster. Once you try it you won't be disappointed.
If you need a custom color feel free to call me, there's no extra charge.
Perfect for all kinds of antiquing, tinting, ageing and color shifting. Protects and enhances all types of finishes and painted surfaces.
DIRECTIONS:
Apply the wax with a soft cloth, brush, or fine steel wool to one section at a time. Make sure you cover the entire surface with the wax. Once covered begin to distribute the wax so that it appears dark inside cracks, crevasses, moldings and areas where there is a construction detail. On flat surfaces such as tops and sides distribute the wax evenly but at the same time leaving highlights of the tint as you stretch the wax out. Manipulate the wax so that the end result is pleasant to you. You can use the brush to daub on the wax and the steel wool to remove excess. Be creative using the tools you have. Remember if you don't like the way it looks, you can always wash it off with mineral spirits and start again. Learn More -
$79.90This is by far the best Furniture Paste Wax I've ever used! For years I tried just about every Paste Wax on the market, but always felt they were lacking in some area. So after Kiwi discontinued manufacturing their wax, I was determined to make the best copy of it I could. I matched their colors using Aniline type dyes for better color penetration than pigments and so improved the wax formula that my American Custom is way better than Kiwi ever was. Now don't get me wrong, Kiwi was a great wax, but the American Custom is absolutely superb. Manufactured in the USA, American Custom Paste Wax is perfect for protecting and enhancing all types of wood and finishes. Choose from a variety of 17 colors to revive faded wood tones and cover most scratches. A custom blend of beeswax, carnauba, candelilla and other waxes in mild oil based solvents, gives ease of use, fast drying time, a smooth easy buff and excellent luster. You won't be disappointed. Once you try it, you won't use any other wax.
