Rub N Buff Mirror Transformation

Want any easy satisfying project?

Rub N Buff is an easy medium to work with a requires very little other supplies.

So I decided to try it on a FB marketplace find. I love Facebook Marketplace. It’s like playing the lotto. You never know what you’ll find and a lot of times its nothing. I saw this mirror for $30 and we have been desperate to find something to go over our large mantle. This seemed like it would fit.

I had never tried Rub N Buff before - I used Gold Leaf here. It’s like a wax so I just wiped down the mirror and at first used gloves to apply. Some crevices were hard to get to so I started using my fingers instead (it washes off pretty easily).

Not pictured, but you just wait for the wax to dry (about an hour) and then you buff in circles with a cloth rag. I believe this removes any excess.

Here’s our result.
