Can I paint over it?
It is meant to be painted over, but only so that it is easy to remove the paint later on! If you want a solid painted finish, you must remove the Beeswax with mineral spirits.
What is the difference between wet and dry sanding?
Wet sanding is just dry sanding with a little bit of water added! By adding water, you reduce the friction between the sanding paper and the surface you’re sanding, allowing you to get a super smooth finish. In addition, adding a bit of water helps to re-activate the paint and make it even easier to sand. This makes any distressing you do look very naturally worn.
What is the difference between this and your other wax products?
