So much classier than what I do. I paint the whole piece then go at it blindly with a sander...no thought no self control. Sort of like the way I've lead my life. Don't judge me! That is lovely!

You're a life saver. I have hunted high and low to figure this out. I have to do eight chairs. They are dark now and I want antique white with a antique oak peeking through. Now I think I'm ready. If this works, on to the china cabinet. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />Again, thanks.<br /><br />Denise Kimba,

Just a thought to save you a couple of mins when you paint. I know that you are a pro painter-but i just wanted to share what works for me. i actually feel kind of stupid sharing painting tips with you-kind of like telling the queen how to rule her people! :)<br/>Hope that you will still love me! or at least like me! :)<br/>try it and let me know!

I've heard of using vaseline so that the paint doesn't adhere to certain areas, but the way from the candle is brilliant. I'm going to use that technique on my daughter's dresser I'm planning on painting. Beautiful result. The candle is such a good idea.
