I just did my first experiment on a textured bowl with gilding wax. The wax product is Craft Smart Premium Wax Metallic Finish, which I purchased at Michael's. I applied one coat of shellac sanding sealer prior to the wax application. The outcome is not what I expected, nor is it like the outcomes I've seen on Youtube using Liberon Gilt Cream. My question is, is there a difference between gilding wax and gilt cream, or, perhaps I need more practice with the application. Thanks.
