    Hi, I tried the exact same experiment, though I had a smaller brush. My outcome was the same because the wax dries very fast. But I was able to fix it! I placed a piece of cotton (scrap) cloth over my waxed fabric and ironed over it. That heated the wax up again and the excess was absorbed into the scrap cloth. I repeated until the wax looked evenly applied. It turned out beautiful!
