Great video on getting a smooth paint finish without brush strokes. The color is beautiful and the black wax along with the gilding wax really makes this piece amazing. Also, thanks for the lesson on how to achieve a streak free finish using the gator. Thanks for a fantastic video !!

Your work is beautiful, im new to refinishing and your tutorials are so informative. Thank you so much!

What a beautiful finish Brandy, thank you for sharing your “secret” for getting such a smooth end product..❤️

Thank you for this tutorial. I love how you explain everything in detail. I’ve learned so much from you since I started painting a year ago, hope that one day I’ll be as good as you.

I know you mentioned it at the end, but I wasn't too sure if you meant you finished with the clear coat on the whole thing - or just the parts that had the exposed wood/gel stain 😊 thanks again for a great video!

I haven't seen you do white, but would you do the same dark wax for that as well? 😬

This is gorgeous!! Thank you for the video. I had a question. I just got a Surf Prep sander and am wondering if you use a screen or what to sand down your top? I tried several combos and then just got my orbital back out, as it was faster and took the finish off better. I want to use the Surf Prep and am having a bit of a learning curve with it. I want it to be magic for the price, but I am struggling a bit to see the magic, if you know what I mean. Thanks for any help!

I like the screens best on raw wood, use a 60 or 80 grit to strip a top, if that isn't working, may need to strip chemically first

I notice in some of your videos that you use a tool in the hardware holes to pull out the drawers when you need to. What tool is it that you use?

You’ve created a beautiful finish on that piece, Brandy! Thank you for the invaluable information! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

Stunning piece!! What would you use to seal if your wax was an oil based wax? Thanks for a great video!!

If its an oil based wax, you would apply that last

If you want to combine this black wax on the edges - technique with some transfers then you would probably do first the transfer, then the black wax then a sealing, right? Or would you do a sealing underneath the transfer first and then all the other steps? I know that the transfer has to be on BEFORe the wax, that so far is clear to me. Thx!

Gray Boss is just a color tinted version of clear Boss. They do the same thing: Blocking odor, and bleed through. Some paint colors do better with a colored Boss under them versus just using clear.

We’re you almost done with the piece when the client wasn’t happy with the color? Do charge more when this happens?

Strange to me. If I want brush-free, I spray it. The whole point of hand painting is to see the hand painting. It's 10 times the work as spraying and looks twice as nice. You compare any two pieces of furniture and it's the hand-painted one that captures your eye. The brush strokes, the little imperfections--that's what catches a person's eye. Then they realize all the work that went into it and are even more impressed with the piece. I would never try and hide the brush strokes. That defeats the whole point. Remember, Ikea and Walmart don't have brush strokes.

I spray a lot too, but sprayers are not something everyone has, so I thought it was important to show methods for those who don't spray
