SFO has a 10 min open time - one of the reasons I loved working with it - it allows you to perfect your finish! Typical water based glazes have a fast open time (2 min or so).

I kind of used what I had on hand - so a little bit of a mix of items: I painted to base with Fusion Mineral Paint in Algonquin (a perfect base for this). Then I went in with Barnwood stain by Retique it and the graining tool and then went in with the Retique It whitewash and topccoated with a water based topcoat

Yay! You will love working with it - easy and creates amazing results!

Thank you! Thank you for watching!

Hi! I cleaned, scuff sanded and then painted with a neutral color by Fusion Mineral Paint (Raw Silk).

I always start with a damp brush but I didn't use a water mister bottle to assist with the application on this one - you can absolutely though!

You don't have to - it has a built in topcoat - but its a very matte finish - I like to topcoat the dark color for sure to help with wipe ability and durability

@@jfresh2054 there are water based glazes and oil based yes - this is not actually a glaze but an oil based stain

Yes absolutely!

@@emily8735 have you tried searching for retailers near you? There are a lot of fusion retailers. No there is no product like this at the big box stores - the advantage to this product is its 10 min open time (most stains are 30sec-2 min) making blending way easier. It also have a the topcoat built in

@@richardroddenberry2079 I have used the wise owl salve on a leather chair and it works beautifully - brought it back to life

@@richardroddenberry2079 other than having different scents - they all perform the same

@@lafos4914 not really cleaned but can be used several times and they do last quite a while - it’s not a one and done use

@@citticat2 as with most stains they are more sheer than a paint - so the odds that it will cover well are questionable 😀 you can try layering several coats to try and cover it better and thank you so much

@@reinlily7972 it is possible but stains being sheer and this isn’t a gel stain (gel stains are a little thicker and have more buildable coverage). So if you were to take the stain right over the primer you will see the color of the primer - I would suggest painting over the primer in a neutral tone (cream, taupe) then going in with the stain over that

@@AQUARIUMFREAK123 no they won’t take pieces that large or with that weight and if they do it would be $1000 😂 I use U ship (it’s picked up my truck drivers usually that have a route with many other stops) if I am looking for shipping quotes - it’s so expensive though so it’s hard to make those sales - I once shipped a piece to NC from CA and it cost as much as the piece

@@milindraval I didn’t use a Home Depot latex paint - I used a furniture paint by fusion mineral paint - the color is called Algonquin - it’s a great color

@@ebsmith1000 thank you so much! I wish that were the case for sure it is so hard to get subs and views when you don’t do anything dumb or viral or silly it seems - but thank you for the wonderful compliments and I will continue to teach and do my tutorials in my style - I appreciate your viewing and supporting my channel 😀

@@courtyk7118 I want a striped effect a fade between colors - a little low light and a little highlight - if you just blend the colors it will be flat with just the one color - does that make sense? 😀

@@kirkkaczmarczyk3110 hi! Thank you so much! Yes I love this technique! I will and thank you for watching 😀

@@cwmwcw you can but not necessary - it has a built in top coat and is very durable

@@MarianneCarlson-vg1tn you could try - I have never had any luck with that - the open time is 2 min as opposed to this formula that has a 10 min open time - which allow blending much nicer

@@TheBismila1 it’s not in my opinion - you are better off with a chalk or mineral paint for that 😀

@@phillrob7445 since it’s stain and therefor sheer - although buildable coverage - if your trying to cover something like that I would recommend a layer of paint in a neutral tone and then go in with your stains 😀

@@reneesimmons2341 you want to clean well with a degreaser/deglosser (krud kutter), scuff sand and then if you feel like you need it - you can use a bonding primer

@@andreadobrin5485 I didn’t seal this - with country chic it’s optional - I prefer a water based top coat I would not use it over the paint - it may alter the color - if you choose to use wax as your topcoat - use one specifically for painted furniture I dilute because I spray but you don’t have to unless you find the paint really thick and hard to work with - I like a water mister bottle when brushing and just apply direct if needed when brushing. You can but I would be careful with rollers - use a really good microfiber roller - staalmeester makes a great one

@@annerewey4023 I don’t like latex paint on furniture - it isn’t meant for wood surfaces and can peel - if you use Benjamin Moore use their advance line - it’s great on furniture and this process can be used with it as long as it’s not a shiny sheen

@@veronicagonzales4781 this was a wood veneer and solid wood mix Piece. It won’t matter if it is veneer or solid - once painted it will come out the same and you are welcome - good luck with your project 😀

@@veronicagonzales4781 thank you so much

@@samanthajett3780 it doesn’t but this product works great for this look because it has an open time of 10 min which allows you to work the product and achieve that perfect final finish

@@solangeherault7038 thank you ❤️

@@tammyjones9593 it can this profit once cured (10 days) it’s super durable - you can also add a topcoat for additional protection - but anytime you are talking floors and heavy traffic - wear and tear will come easier of course - check their website to learn more about the product

@@valeskaparker870 I should have filtered (I normally do) but sometimes when filming I forget. As for watering it down - that is going to depend on the product viscosity and the sprayer too - this was pretty thin and not needed

@@Mariam_Rodriguez hi and thank you! I don’t do upholstery 😀 - I tried once and it was an epic fail - crunchy and didn’t like the look - I have seen it done and it looks good but not my thing 😂

@@Snoopy5007 this is a good sprayer for the price point yes and if you don’t use it daily (there are more professional sprayers for that kind of volume) otherwise it’s a good sprayer and would recommend 😀

I didn’t use a base - if you mean a primer/base. I didn’t use one on this job - not all jobs require a primer - if cleaned well and scuff sanded (prime when concerned about bleed through or adhesion) I always thin my paint and each product will vary as to how much as well as the equipment your using - I suggest getting a viscosity cup and referring to your sprayer manual for timing. This paint is not particularly thick (that will also vary depending on color - some pigments in colors will make the paint thinner or thicker). Thank you so much 😀

@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks so much for the info 👍🌹

I use the standard tip - I do not typically feel the need to switch them out for water based paints. As for the setting this particular system does not have a numbered setting system - so I couldn’t tell you how it was dialed in - I switch that up depending on the product and piece I’m working on but there is no way for me to tell you a setting number on this one 😀

Thank you - I would definitely wipe back or you may not like the look and it will take forever to dry. I would Layer multiple coats (making sure you allow ample time in between)

@@BorninaBarnBoutique Awesome.. Thank you so much for your response.

Thank you! 😀

Thank you so much!😀

You do realize that most pieces are not made of 100% solid wood through and through. This is a Bassett brand piece (which is a good brand) - but most pieces have some wood veneer and particle board in certain areas of the furniture unfortunately
