Hi Amy, I didn't see you prime the wood before applying the Venetian plaster? I heard that wood warps and an oil based primer should be used befor applying paints and textures etc, is true, or is it that your brand doesn't require priming?

[@binkiebabe416]

Can these products be used on wood floors???? If so, are the steps the same or is a clear poly needed for protection???

How do I dust this? Or clean the plaster? So I wanna plaster my range hood, the plaster range hoods I have priced are $3500 +. Being that it’s a hood over the stove it will get dirty, and or get food on it. Can I use this product for this purpose? And how would I clean it? Thank you for all your help, God bless

I HAVE A SMALL MAHOGANY DESK; DO I NEED TO STRIP BEFOR I USE THE OLD WORLD?

[@PleaseNThankYou]

Watching replay... I really enjoy your work.always have. I want to ask a personal question if that's not too invasive. Did you work at Methodist central? I'm a retired medic from Memphis fire. I remember the furniture and Wales in the nurses break room. Is this you?

[@PleaseNThankYou]

I want to do my kitchen cabinets, one at a time, ugh...I need to seal these cabinets because I've had them about 12-14 years and I've only waxed then ONCE!! Can you believe how lazy I am?? Anyway, want to skip the strain, don't want blackened look, like the medium brown. But would like to see some grain. Should I just use this wax you have, or should I go with the plaster? And if using the plaster, should I seal with your wax product or something else. The finish is very dry, not expensive wood but I do think it's oak. More of a ply wood thickness. No detail to the doors. May stencil fronts of everything else goes well. Of white tile and of white Formica counter tops as well. It was an insurance job and they couldn't find prefab cabinets to match so they sent the job to a maker and I still got the cheap job.lol so, feel like I can try something new.
