Hi, all, total newbie, I have been watching a ton of videos , but I'm confused about something. I have a small flat end table that I'm going to paint with chalk paint , apply a decoupage on top, and I would like to add a little bit of darker gilding wax in the grooves on the legs and around the edges. I am planning to finish the whole thing with a code of polycrylic. My question is, once I have all the painting on and I'm ready to add the gilding.What is the order of products? Do I have to do one thin layer of poly before I start doing the gilding wax? Do I apply the gilding wax directly onto the chalk paint? Do I have to apply a thin layer of clear wax down in the areas I want to add the gilding wax first so that the gilding wax doesn't suck into the chalk paint? I keep seeing that I can't poly on top of wax So i'm getting confused. help please?

Exactly what the title says. Cannot find the user reviews for movies, etc. anymore.

Hi all, I'm a medium crocheter meaning if the pattern is super clear and there is an accompanying video, I can get her done. BUT I'm trying to up my game by learning little tips and tricks to improve my work and be able to trouble shoot more on my own. I am working on the Lotus Blanket by Veronika Liachovic and I have just finished round 17 (see photo). I want to now sort of go rogue and start making it square in the next few rounds so I can be done and turn it into a pillow. Can any of you math wizards explain how I can do that. And more importantly, is it possible to sort of explain (or maybe you know of a good youtube that explains) how to figure this sort of thing out so I can do it myself in the future? Thanks in advance
