How Do We Know When Slick Wax Is No Longer Good?
How Long Does It Last?
There is no way to say exactly how long Slick Wax will be effective for you. A lot of its effectiveness depends on factors like how often you paint, how often you clean your brushes or tools and if you wipe off excess paint before dipping your brush into the Slick Wax. Basically, if you notice that your brushes are not coming out clean anymore then simply, it's time to put a new refill cake of Slick Wax into your tin and pour out the old Slick Wax (Or replace the tin altogether with a Slick Wax Hot Cake!). Fortunately, even if your Slick Wax gets really dirty looking from all of its use--especially if you forget to wipe off excess paint--it is can still be effective at cleaning. We always recommend that painters just use their Slick Wax until they no longer see that it works. Of course, if you want to ensure you are extra clean when working with your Wax Medium or lighter colors, you may want to consider having an extra tin of Slick Wax on your palette to use just for this purpose. With the extra tin of Slick Wax on hand, you can thoroughly clean your brushes and have tighter control of your color mixing.
