Awesome video! It's great to at least start out with tools that an expert like yourself has already tried and tested. Thank you!
Great informative video. Thank you!
100% agree on the top coat. The only top coat that gets the job done right for me. I have wasted lots of money on other top coats.
Awesome video thank you 🙏
Your welcome - thank you for watching!
Thanks for the run through. I used to paint furniture a lot. My finishes have all held up, even 20 years and more. It was a thing I really enjoyed doing. So, I love seeing the new products and learning the new techniques. I will share this with my daughter who may have more time for this when her 4 month old gets older.
Andrea Walker Of course! Thank you for watching!
Very informative
Thank you 😀
This was very helpful. Thank you.
I’m new at this love love love your videos
Thank you so much!
You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for all your insight. I am just a novice. I have gone the cheap way with Chalk Paints, Waverly Brand and now Walmart has discontinued and I cannot find it anywhere. I did my pedestal and the sides of dining room table and wooden chairs with cashew color and now they did away with it. I also did kitchen cabinets with that color too and it turned out beautiful but I don't think I would ever use it again on my cupboards because it shows spots even though I did put general finishes to seal it. so I'm going to look into the general finishes for some of my pieces that I paint. thanks for your recommendation
Thank you so much! General finishes is a great paint - you will love it
Hi thank you so much for this video. I discovered you a couple weeks ago just browsing on CZcams trying to find information. I'm painting and staining because I have quite a few projects I want to tackle starting with a desk at home for my young daughter and then a dining table I got cheap. I thought I knew what I was doing and after watching just about every single one of your videos I feel like I had no idea what I was doing and you have been so unbelievably helpful. After watching you I feel like a professional in my mind but in reality I'm a little scared to start my project. I just wanted to express how thankful I am for your videos you've answered so many of my questions and also one that I never even thought about before so I'm absolutely thrilled that I found your channel and subscribed 😊
Hi. Thank you so much for sharing this - I love hearing from subscribers! I am so glad you have been finding them helpful. I’m so glad you found me too! Keep watching, more to come! 😀 good luck with all your projects and happy painting
I’m having a hard time finding your Cling on F50 brush anywhere, I only found cling on O45 on Amazon but it looks different than yours. I will be working only with brushes for now since I’m starting out on a budget. I did find the other brand of brushes you mentioned “purdy”, but was hoping for your F50. Also i’ve been looking through your videos to see if you use a certain white that you really like. I only really trust your judgment with this. I want to paint the underneath of my dining table all white and on the top I figured out from you that it is veneer and needs some repair work, but I wanted to stain/paint that blended driftwood look. Do you recommend or have a favorite white paint? I looked up the general finishes antique white on Home Depot but in the picture it looks more like a light tan or a very cream color unless I’m wrong. I need a white for underneath my table but I will also need to take off all the paint and use a prime on it first. I wrote down the primer and the topcoat that you recommended as your favorite. Unless you have a favorite or know of an amazing white that already has the primer and or top coat included. Thank you so much I know you are busy. I’m trying to watch as many of the videos of yours as I can in case you answer my questions so I don’t have to bother you as much with dumb questions. Thanks😊
I also want to keep it from yellowing
@@kaylamcfadden5189 Not dumb questions! So the cling on F50 is very popular I buy mine through Wise Owl Paint.com. you can find them on Amazon but the go fast. Home Depot doesn't carry General Finishes but it is a creamy white - not tan at all - go check out the color direct on General Finishes Website or Amazon sells it as well. It is a creamy white though with a slight yellow undertone. I like Fusion - it has a top coat built in (not a primer), I love my GF Stainblocker primer (also amazon) I have these products in my shop - I will provide you the link and you can go check it out - www.amazon.com/shop/borninabarnboutique.
Dixie Belle Silk does have a primer and top coat built in and I like that one as well
Good luck with your project and Happy Painting
@@kaylamcfadden5189 Use an all in one so you don't have to use a topcoat. I offer one on one lessons virtually - so keep that in mind - I love to help people with their projects and you can ask all the questions!
Great video and very helpful!
Thank you - I am glad it was helpful!
Just found you and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for all your likes. :)
Awesome! I am so glad you did! Thank you for watching!
Outstanding great vid I'm happy to learn about different products an tips you give thank you god bless
This was VERY helpful and im sure I will come back to it time and again when I need something and cant remember what you recommended.. Hope you and your family and friends all stay healthy in this unsettling time.. :)
itsmeamanda01 Hi! Thank you so my CJ for watching I’m glad it was helpful! 😀 Thank you we are - same time you and yours!
Thank you for sharing!!!!
Diane Alves absolutely! Thank you for watching!
I love your videos and can't wait to see what's next. Where did you get the square metal containers that are behind you? I don't know if you have told us. I've been searching for them.
Thank you so much! So the ones I have here in this video are actually a heavy duty plastic - you can find them here - amzn.to/3BgBhhG
Thank you for all this great info. What Varathane color stain would be closest to the Java color?
Your so welcome! Kona is a very good match!
Thank you for all the tips. I will definitely be adding some to my arsenal. By the way, I'm in need of a respirator. What would you recommend? Have you made a video on the one you use?
I have talked about in a few of my videos - I will share the link to the one I like (I hate the over the head ones). I also use my RZ mask for most of my painting and for sanding. amzn.to/39fbc66

Hi! Love your videos. I am from Devon in the UK other than Fusion and Dixie Belle, I am struggling to get any other products. Would love to try general finishes but from the UK it is very limited and seems quite pricey. Would love your advice and help. Amanda. x
Sorry, may I also ask what sprayer you use and UK equivalent. x
Thank you so much! I'm a huge fan of Fusion and I love Dixie Belle Silk. Thats too bad you can't get General Finishes there! I don't have any recommendations of where to order that would ship there. They do have a Facebook Group - General Finishes University - it may be worth a try to reach out there and put a post on there to see if anyone ships to the UK.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you, that is great! I will keep watching! x
Thank you for all this great information! I’m curious, what are your thoughts about tack cloth? Do you think it leaves a sticky residue on the item you are trying to clean?
You bet. I do not use to wipe down painted surfaces, they have beeswax in them. So the only time I use them is on oil stained surfaces and then only lightly not pressing them into the piece.
I have solid cherry cabinets that I would like to paint. Which product do you recommend? I would like to paint them a black tone and wipe areas to have some cherry show through for accents. Thank you
I love fusion mineral paint, General finishes wise owl and the chippy barn - those are my top paints
I recently moved from those rag towels to blue shop towels because I was having the same problem. They were creating lint. But the blue towels, oh my gosh, love, love, love them. Question about the ClingOn brush. Do they have to sit in water 24/7 or is it safe to keep them out once cleaned? Lastly, where are they manufactured? Much thanks, Ivy.
Me too! They recommend it! They are made in Holland! Cling Ons are designed to be used and stored wet. This feature contributes to the brush stroke-free and flawless finish. This also prevents the paint from drying on and damaging your bristles. The life expectancy of a Cling On brush surpasses other brushes for this reason. -When not in use, return the brush filaments to water (just the tips), do not saturate the head or handle of your brush in water. Allowing the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container can disfigure them, so use a Cling On brush holder or engineer your own. Start by using a jar with enough water to suspend the bottom of tips in, and a clip to hold the handle so that the tips keep from resting at the bottom of your container. -When you are finished painting you may rinse with water or just return your brush to your brush holder to let the tips suspend in water, the paint will just slide off of the bristles. A light rinse before use may be necessary and make sure to change out your water as needed.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful and useful comment. Very kind of you. The keeping them in water is the part that holds me back but I love that they are made in Holland. Very cool. Tonight, I used a Annie Sloan 30mm brush for the first time with Annie Sloan paint. I cannot get over how nice her paint is. Really excited to paint again tomorrow. Best staycation EVER! Thank you again. Cheers, Ivy.
How do feel about mixing different brands of paint and sealers? Is there a hard and fast rule?
So I only mix within brand. That's what most brands will recommend as well. Some product lines are not compatible with others. So I stick with that rule for me.
So much wonderful information, I have a quick question, I have a little desk that was spray painted, do I need to strip it before painting it with Fusion paint? TIA
Thank you! Well I don't think you need to strip it, spray paint will come off pretty easy with sanding. I would just sand it all off it were me!
Born in a Barn Boutique that great, thank you so much! And on top of everything it’s black spray paint!! 😞 but it will be fun sanding it!!
What is your preference in order for a kitchen table? Milk Paint Fusion or Chalk?
I would go with something very durable with a top coat built in. I would recommend (if you are brushing) General finishes Brushable White Enamel (which can be tinted if you find a retailer that does that in your area), Wise Owl One Hour Enamel or if you are spraying General Finishes Enduro Poly. I would not go with Chalk paint and Fusion is very matte and although it has a top coat in it, for a kitchen table I would go with something more durable.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique with! Thanks for your fast reply im actually still looking at your videos and I'm looking at your paint reviews for all the paints... I dont mind matte.. its a farmhouse style 60' inch round table I want it in a pretty grey with maybe some dry brushing to make the top stand out..I was originally going to go with a Chalk paint but in researching found out its not durable so now I'm just confused lol
@@shelleyking6962 It can be confusing, there are so many brands to choose from. Rule of thumb with a high use piece, so with the most durable products you can. Kitchen tables can take a beating. I would recommend sealing for sure - unless you use one of the more commercial type paints with a true polyurethane in the paint formula (Wise Owl One Hour Enamel, GF Enduro Poly & Brushable White Enamel or Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane). Keep in mind white and light color when clear coated even with a water based poly can yellow, that's why some of these other lines I am recommending may be better for you!

Very helpful videos. I am using the Java Gel to finish a table and chairs. Just finished one chair. I had a relatively big problem with streaking...this stuff is too think. I used a cloth to apply; perhaps that's the prob. On your other video you dipped brush in water to thin the milk paint and allow more work-ability. I'm guessing that is not applicable with Java Gel since it's oil based. I would like to have 100% smooth surface when complete. Do you have any recommendations? If I need to I would consider sanding off the Java and reapplying with the Wise Owl since it's only one chair. Thank you!
Thank you! So first question did you sand your pieces to bare wood or are you applying the java gel over and existing finish? This makes a huge difference in how your final results will look. I always apply with a foam brush and wipe back with a rag. No that doesn't work to thin this with water, but you can add a little mineral spirits to thin it, I don't typically do this, but you can.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you. I think it's maple veneer with a old thin coat of poly. I sanded with 150 to scuff then used a de-gloss as an extra step (I don't think the de glossing chemical was completely necessary).
M Hamrin so yeah that is why you are not seeing a nice even application. Any time you do not sand down to bare wood you are essentially just painting on the stain and so when you are wiping it on it is really not sticking to the surface at all and what you are seeing is where you scuffed the piece and it’s coming out uneven. My suggestion if you are not going to sand to bare wood, all the way down then you can achieve the same look color wise with GF dark chocolate mp - it’s the same color as the java gel gel and you will achieve more solid even coats.
Also, I just view your start to finish table project. Loved it. Some amazing tips. I see how you wiped it with a rag. My grain has some imperfections so I am going for that more opaque look. Leaving Gel Stain thick leaves the "brush marks"...but I used a clean rag to apply. So, I guess my question is: would you recommend the foam or brush applicator? Thanks again!
M Hamrin Thank you - I would - that’s the only way I apply and you can get more product on with the foam brush I feel like than a rag that absorbs a lot of the stain
do you have any feedback on a product called Beyond Paint? I've seen it advertised as a 'all in one' paint.
Linda Jordan I have not used it personally but have heard mixed things about it. Some love it and some hate it - sounds like a review video needs to be done! Stay tuned.
What sandpaper do you use? Or find best?
I like pro sand, abranet and festool (but the festool paper is the most expensive) 😀
What kind of sprayer do you use?
I now use a Fuji Q4
Do you use the High Performance top coat on light colors?
I do, I mix a little bit of my paint into the topcoat to help achieve nice coverage - no yellowing
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thank you
have you tried
The paint couture ... paint line?
So the short answer is no. I little while back I ordered 2 small sample sizes (4 oz) from the company, I paid $9 in shipping for it to arrive in an envelope (which I order a ton of paint and nobody charges that much for a small shipment and then ships paint in an envelope). Needless to say, they had completely exploded. It was a complete mess. When I contacted the company I was less than excited about their response and customer service. So - because when I review a paint, these are things I take about and consider when recommending to my viewers, I decided because they way the shipped, they way I was handled, was not acceptable and decided to not go further with the paint line at that time.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique wow floored shame on them I was wondering as I heard it was like fusion and was wonder what you thoung ok with paint couture out
what about Dixie bell paint to fusion ?
Lori Mageau Dixie and Fusion are a little different - Dixie is a chalk mineral and fusion is a acrylic water based paint, mineral refers to the pigments used in the paint. Dixie is thick and fusion is thin consistency. Both great paints, both don’t need to be sealed. Both dry more matte. They apply differently because of their consistency. Dixie is a great blending paint, fusion blends but not as easy in my opinion as Dixie. Both have great color selection.
