I love your videos. They are so informative.
Thank you!
I love your channel! So what if I forgot to wipe back my first light application of natural sfo? Is my project doomed? Thanks for your help? ❤️
Thank you so much! No not at all, you don’t need to wipe it back. It may take longer to dry/cure, it it’s not ruined. When I do ,y 3 color blended look with sfo, I don’t wipe back, I apply with sponge applicators and then just keep blending with brushes and let dry.
Can you use SFO over fusion mineral paint ?
So I don't need to/can't poly over the top of this once it has cured? It's ok for the top of a dining table as is?
Love your videos! I Hemp oiled a walnut desk and to me just too dull. Could I use the natural SFO over it? And if so how long would I have to wait! Thank you!
Thank you. They say about a week after the hemp oil application you can paint over it, so I imagine same rule applies for the sfo.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!
Hi, can I do a blend of finishing oil like you did but over a pice pained in coal black?
Just like I did here - this can be used over raw wood or painted surfaces 😀
Can you use this stain over a previously stained piece? Does it need to be fully sanded down?
Just when I was looking into Amulent paint, and I couldn't find enough reviews about it...I get your review on this paint. I'm so happy that you had a positive experience, because I really wanted to try it. My prime question always is the durability of the paint. The coffee break looks really good - just the colour I was looking for among others. (would you compare it to Fusion's Algonquin?)Thanks so much!
I am so glad! It came out beautifully. I really liked it. as for the color I would say its in the same color family as Algonquin. Algonquin is actually lighter, not as deep of a color, but when put together, very similar color family. As for durability, when I come across a pain that does not have a requirement of top coat but optional, I am always impressed. I use GF, Fusion and now The Chippy Barn has the same quality!
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Great. Even better. Thank you again.
Hi I’ve just come across your video on the stain and I was wondering what too coat you would use if you wanted extra durability ?
So on its own it’s extremely durable (it was created for flooring). However you could a top coat of your choice over it, I like General Finishes arm r seal or high performance top coat. You could also add Fusion SFO in natural for more protection.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thank you so much
Hi!! I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I love it! You are so knowledgeable!! I am planning to re-do steps that are stained in golden oak. Can you advise me on which to use- fusion gel stain or SFO. I want to change the color to cappuccino and paint the spindles in raw silk?? What is the difference in the two products? Tks!
So I don’t have a lot of experience with the gel stain yet, fusion just sent me some but I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t speak to that product particularly. The sfo was made for flooring, once cured very durable. They both are stain and topcoat in one, just different formulas. If you need more assistance I do teach virtually 30 and 60 min one on ones!
Hi I was helping a friend put sfo ebony onto of coal black desk top. I wet sanded and took wiped off all the excess then did two coats of ebony and wiped excess off with pad applicator. It dried with so many streaks. How do I fix it please. Possibly let it dry and then steel wool and then hemp oil? Also the applicator pad left a lot of lint on it?'
It can be trick to work with as a top coat - I typically don't use it for that. If you climate is hot and dry it is going to set quicker making it hard to get a really good finish. Also I wouldn't wipe the excess off with anything white or that may leave lint behind. I apply with a sponge applicator brush and wipe off with the round foam applicators (I have some in my Amazon shop for reference - some people like to wipe back with an applicator like that but cover in a nylon stocking (panty hose) much better - no lint behind. I would wet sand with 600 or 800 grit and then apply another topcoat of your choice - hemp oil will work but not as durable and will need to be reapplied down the line.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks. I actually used the fusion applicator pads that they recommend. I have never had a problem, but chemistry is a weird thing. I could not believe the streaks. So I will let it set another 48 hours for it to dry. The streaks are black and grey, after sanding what would you recommend to restore it back to coal black. I love hemp oil, but will it do it.
Have you used the white product on darker colors? Will it yellow? Thanks! Great video!
Have I use the White SFO on darker colors? No. That's not a look I have ever done. Dark colors won't tend to show a yellow tinge - it would be very hard to detect unlike if your use a topcoat on a white. Thank you for watching!
Hi I’m going to try to do a table I have to start some point , I’m a beginner , can you please telllme how to start
So there is a lot to know when first starting, prep is key. Clean your piece with TSP or TSP sub, you can sand to bare wood or scuff sand and apply over painted surface. There are many ways to use this product. I would recommend a one on one with me - I offer virtually and they can be found on my website - www.borninabarnboutique.net
Im wanting to use ebony sfo over casement to make the details on a dresser pop, have you done this before? I know I have to use the wipe on and wipe off method
Yes! I have a video on here using SFO as a glaze - check it out - sounds like exactly what you want to do!
It might have ended up so dark because you are at the end of the container and you get evaporation of the spirits...leaving more pigment
It’s just because of the cedar wood - cedar is very porous and takes stain super well and I let it sit for the 10 min too! It was a new can all stirred up.
On the Fusion website, they do not use mineral spirits while wiping back the stain on painted surface, just used the pads. Why do you use the mineral spirits.
I don’t use mineral spirits at all in this video to wipe back - just clean rags.
If you referring to a different video where I use it to clean off the stain I got in my painted trim - I used mineral spirits (or you can use their odorless solvent) to remove a boo boo in the my painted area where I didn’t want stain
How would you compare Fusion's finishing oil and say Antique glaze? I feel like I never know which one to choose. 😳
Thanks for your channel, very helpful. 👍
So they are completely different products - I have used their glaze as well and I would say to use this stain like a glaze over a painted piece is a bit easier, there is a little more workability time with it. This is a stain to traditionally I wouldn't really compare to a glaze since they are different - does that make sense?
Could you wax over it?
I am going to use the Natural SFO over a table top & base that I have painted with Fusion Little Lamb. What is the best way to apply it and how long should I leave it before wiping it back? I don’t want a color change, I just want the extra protection. Thanks for any help.
So you have to be careful when applying the natural SFO on light colors and little lamb is a light one! It will yellow or amber your color a tad. I wouldn't recommend using it or I would tell you to try it first on a test piece to see what you think. It is going to change the color of the painted piece a bit, its a oil based stain (even though natural - it still has a tint to it)
Born in a Barn Boutique again, thanks for your very fast response. I took your advice and did not try the natural SFO. Instead I tried the white on a practice piece & I love it. It is perfect. The table top I ended up using little lamb as the base coat and then raw silk for a blended look. Then after waiting a full day I just added the fusion SFO in white. It looks so pretty and I am so happy with it. I am really enjoying using fusion paints and stains. Thanks for all your help.
@@kathyl5610 You are so welcome! That sounds really pretty - glad it came out well and your happy with it! Yes Fusion is a great brand!
Have you tried the natural sfo to seal fusion coal black? Wondering if it dries streaky or if you think using sfo us a good option for better durability on coal black?
I have and yes it provides excellent protection over it. Any topcoat can have streaking issues depending on application - try a large sponge, don’t overwork and let dry completely before re applying
I finished a piece with your blended method and it turned out so great. Now I am finishing a dresser top with the sfo wiping it off for that true stained looked. Can that really be the last step or should I put a top coat on?
It can be with this product. It has a topcoat built in, so it’s not necessary to add one. A lot of people finish up with the SFO in natural for added sheen and more protection.
Thank you so much!!
In the above did you say you used this stain on oak? If so I would love to see this!
I have used this look on all different wood species, oak, maple, cherry, mahogany. It comes out beautiful every time!
Can you add the SFO natural on another brand stain as a top coat
Yes you can use this as your topcoat over another stain
Hi! Have you ever used Fusions white SFO? O know the natural (clear) can yellow so I was looking to the white SFO as an option - just wondered if it tends to yellow? Thank you!
Hi, no the white doesn’t yellow at all.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thanks so much!
If applying a second coat of sfo would u wet sand between coats?
No this is an oil based product, I wouldn't recommend wet sanding, I use a little 0000 steel wool if necessary, but remember this has a top coat built in, so you don't want to final sand or you will dull your finish
Can I use it over a colour of stain I don't like?
You could, but keep in mind, stains are sheer so it will not cover like a paint would, it will act as more of a toner unless you build up with many coats. I would also fine sand your current finish to rough it up a bit before applying.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you! It is an orange-y colour and I just don't like it. Toning it sounds like a good idea.
Can i use sfo on top of a regular paint?
I can’t speak to putting over “regular” paint - I suppose you mean household latex paint? I haven’t ever tried that - I would suggest trying it first before going for it on the price of furniture 😀
Ho w will this stain will work on stained oak....
I wouldn’t recommend putting over an already stained piece. I always sand to bare wood, as it is stain and meant to penetrate the wood, not be painted on. It’s sheer and will take a long to dry just put on top (it’s not a gel stain). Some people paint the surface first and then put this stain on top of, giving it something to grab onto as a base and not allowing the current look of the say golden oak to show through. again not the way I would use it and it does take longer to dry but can be done. I hope this helps. I would look into gel stains if you want to go right over an existing finish without sanding.
Does it even need a topcoat?
No that’s the finishing oil part - that’s the topcoat - it was designed for flooring and after cure time extremely durable! No additional top coat needed
Y’all should really work on your video presentations
You should try it before you criticize.
