So after my epic fail on the "chippy" table (see
lessons learned here) I chose to redo it in a safe, stick to anything paint,
Fusion Mineral paint . I went with raw silk again as I am just loving the crisp but not stark white tones of it.
For ease for distressing the edges, I rubbed the
Fusion beeswax bar along them all before painting. I repeated another layer after I easily wiped the edges after the first coat and used a sanding sponge to distress the edges again after coat #2.
Once all dry, I tried
Fusion's black wax to age one of the legs but my youngest daughter voted to keep it the crisp clean white distressed look. A quick wipe with mineral spirits removed my aged art work easily and it was back to fresh paint.
Seeing it will be used lots as a table or desk on the top I gave it a coat of
Fusion's wipe on tough coat and walaa this baby was finished.. for good this time ;)

Beeswax is such a great distressing tool for saving time and extra sanding work, Which reminds me my bar is getting low and it's time to restock! Love the black wax Lee Ann, it really adds dimension. Thanks for sharing your tips at Fridays Furniture Fix!
