From authentic, all-natural looks to antiqued, aged or sea-salted effects, FAT Wax adds character to any upcycled project. Made from beeswax and a hint of carnauba wax, each of our three distinct shades—Natural, Patina and White—leave behind a lustrous polish with lasting durability.
If extra durability or protection is required, use CLEAR Top Coat to finish off your FAT Paint’d project instead of FAT Wax. The water-based sealant is safe and easy-to-use; it goes on clear and stays clear, providing a pearl sheen guaranteed not to yellow over time.
