Check out the cool look I got on my very first experience using Rubio Monocoat Finish.
This is a great way to achieve a ceruse finish on tabletops, furniture and even flooring. I was very pleased with the ease of application and the awesome results.
Distributor link to the product:

100 ML Rubio Monocoat Precolor Easy...Intense Black
100 ML Rubio Monocoat Accelerator Comp B
100 ML Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C-A White
These are sample sized bottles but a little bit goes a long way. Amazon does carry this product line but in limited colors for that size.
I'm really enjoying the new options like this. Really gives those of us that prefer more unique things some options for our home.
I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks. Wes
I am building a 36' Ford pickup and have red oak for the bed, I think I am going to do this to the wood! Oh the truck is going to be black with an ivory frame.
Definitely.
Post!!! Plz!!!
Sic , I am thinking about doing this to a stake bed rack i am building over white oak. My concern is weathering effects . I don’t want to be re-doing it every couple of months .
Do it, it would look hella sick!
Rubio Monocoat Intense Black, that is definitely what I want. Once the pre-colour was dry and rubbed before you even did the ceruse. it looked absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for this!
I could watch you all day long. Your technique and directions are awesome. Easy to follow and love the results. Thank you for being so thorough. Great job!
You are so welcome...thank you for watching. Wes
Hand-holding a wide measuring container to measure a tiny amount of liquid, means you can easily be in error by 100%. Use a narrow measuring container, and place it on a flat surface.
That that is so beautiful ❤️ the look . Thank you for showing us that it is an amazing project 👍
You are so welcome...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
That is so awesome! Thanks so much for this and the previous ceruse video!
You are welcome...thank you for visiting the channel. Wes
Wow! That is beautiful! I can’t decide if I like this better than the cabinets you did. There are opposite of each other. Both are beautiful! Nice job!
Loretta...thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words and visiting the channel. Wes
I keep waiting for you to say, "Paint a little happy tree over here and a happy little bush over there."
😀
me too, so ross. lovely voice and doesn't talk down to us amateurs. think you should wear a mask wes, you were puffing a bit. have subscrived.
Wow! I've looked at so many videos to learn how to do this on a guitar body and this method is crazy simple compared to the others! On guitars they call this finish "dog hair" when it's done on mahogany. I'm so gonna try this! Thank you!
Your welcome...good luck with your project. Thanks for watching. Wes
Absolutely stunning 🤩
Thank you!! 😊
You are so humble a pleasure and blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for visiting the channel and your kind words. Comments like yours keep me going :)) Wes
Yes, I really like this method too!
That was really satisfying project
Great job. This strategy makes oak look amazing.
That is a beautiful finish
Amazing , You do great work , thanks for this video
That looks beautiful, I will try the dual colors now!
Beautiful! The finish looks like the blow torch technique without burning
The technique is called Shou Sugi Ban when you burn wood to finish and seal it from mold
I been using the shou sugi ban technique on all my tables and furniture then epoxy finish… it is awesome when I’m done but it just takes so much time to do… after watching Wes’s cerusing technique I’m going to start doing this for sure
That’s absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you very much. Wes
I love that. It is so original.
It is a nice product line. Thanks for watching. Wes
I discovered monocoat a few years back...it is very pricey but totally worth it!!! it bonds to the wood and waterproofs it. Its GREAT!!
Thanks for sharing...it is a great product. Wes
Wow that's beautiful
WOW, It's STUNNING !!!
Thanks for watching...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Getting ready to build a lower computer workstation upper bunkbed and side dresser all in one and this is exactly the paint finish I was thinking of👌 thanks brotha!
Both videos have a great look.
Thank you...I appreciate you watching Shane. Wes
This is really beautiful! Thanks for the explanation!
You are so welcome!
This is awesome! Loving your videos Wes 🙌
Thank you...I am glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Thats some beautiful stain. Thanks for featuring a new company and product. I'm definitely going to give it a try
Good luck! Glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
thanks for the video this is pretty cool
That would make a very beautiful lazy susan for a kitchen or dining table. What a beautiful finish!
It sure would...great idea. Glad you liked it. Wes
Excellent! Thank you for this vid!
Glad you found value in my video. We have lots more coming so stay with us. Thank you Wes
I absolutely love this technique thank you for sharing. I was in the process of doing flame finish but this gives much better results in my opinion
Hi...thank you this was my first time using it and also loved the results. I appreciate you visiting the channel. Wes
You are amazing! And gave me the final top on my house renovation! Ty
Great...glad you liked it. Thanks, Wes
Whow! Beautiful!!!
Thank you! 😊
I love rubio monocoat have had it on my floors for 3 years now with very active kids and toy cars etc. going across my floors. They are as beautiful as when I first put it on. It is easy to fix any marks just rub some more on. ( much like how you use Old English) It adheres to the wood beautifully. But it is a MATTED finish. You can not put polyurethane or anything on it to make it shiny. Rubio has a product that gives it a temporary sheen but you have to reapply occasionally. The good thing is that I never have to remove and replace stain and poly on my floors again. Just the occasional touch up is all that is needed. The product is also VOC friendly and safe for the kids and pets since is it linseed oil based. LOVE THE PRODUCT!!!!
I love the matte finishes, especially on guitars - which is where I plan to use the Rubio Monocoat. Thanks again!
What type of wood are your floors? Were they brand new or did you redo existing? I'd like to try this on my existing red oak floors,
That looks beautiful....
Thank you! Cheers!
It is very cool I am doing this beautiful 😍
Thats very nice how it came out
WOW - this is so amazing. I build guitars - and I'm always looking for new ways to design and finish them. The 'new thing' now is for guitars to be sandblasted - to get the ' ceruse finish' - and to achieve this - obviously I had to buy a sandblaster and all the associated accessories. I'm SOO glad I found this video. Now it appears I can achieve essentially the same result - MUCH more easily. Thank you so much for uploading this. Fantastic technique - can't wait to try it myself. You have a new subscriber! Thanks so much. Cheers.
It's so funny we were doing that same finish technique 30 years ago in college, we would spray a lacquer base and use a colored pour, it would give the same look it went out of style, now its back and it has a fancy name.
Thats cool :)) Thanks for watching and your comment. Wes
Just wondering what type of product would you use for the colored pour? And did you seal with anything after the lacquer? Thanks!
@@Mrzizzy69 sorry, so we would spray it with a base color then use a pore filler, sand it again to get it off the surface then shoot a coat of clear over it
@@adamchesis7443 Thanks!
@@Mrzizzy69 The product is Rubio Monocoat as was shown in the video. I did not seal it with a top coat. Thanks for watching.
looks good wes I'm thinking I might try this on a new hardwood floor thank you for making great videos
Thanks for your comment...that's what keeps me going. Good on your floor. Wes
Wow that’ll look gorgeous!
Wow. That looks bad ass.
Thats so beautiful table top
Hi...I really like this product too. Thanks for watching, Wes
Cool...thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job
Nice work paman
i love it!!!
Omg that's beautiful
Thank you very much !
@@WoodworkingWithWes you are very welcome..
Building a Fender Jazz inspired bass. This finish would look amazing on it! Thank you, sir.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching, Wes
I'm not a very good woodworking kind of person but I like to do some DIY kind of stuff and that looks easy enough to do and work with. Nice....
Thanks for your comment...yes, you could easily do this. Wes
Ibanez makes a guitar I bought last year with that finish. It's very nice and looks straight forward to apply.
Amazing
That’s gorgeous…..
I would use a clear coat since is on a table so it would protect the finish..Thanks for the video very good work 🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your hairs are really nice!
pretty cool
You took a red oak project and made it look not terrible!!! Bravo!!! 🤣
Hi Wes!
Wonderful to see you continue to rest so many products and teach us about processes.
I'm wondering if you used pre-conditioner on the oak since I haven't found anything online about using it prior to applying Ceruse finishes. I'm about to build 2 large oak slab tables and am doing a ceruse finish on both.
I did not use a wood conditioner on my oak table. Good luck...they will look great!
Wes
OK Wes, I'm waiting for Rubio to send my paint.. I'm doing a 2009 solid oak home bar.. I have removed the clear coat, wire brushed and sanded, there was a little water damage on the top, I sanded it even(I hope).. it's not too late for any last-minute instructions.. ❤😳😶😅
Ok, thanks Wes. I’m going to try a wire brush wheel in my drill also on some scrap pieces first and see how that affects red oak.
Mike
Good luck!
Great name! Wes...
Amazingly beautifuly
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi West I've only recently found your channel, I'm so impressed with this technique and was wondering if I could use it on oak kitchen cabinets. If so what top coat would you recommend for extra durability especially with it being a kitchen. Thank you from the UK.
great video appreciate the info. would you apply any treatments to protect this beatiful finish or does the hardener in the 2B do the trick?
I used to do this for work at a place that built kitchen cabinets and other fixtures, I didn't even know it was called ceruse. We would have a team of up to 3 or 4 people to do large pieces, one to apply it and the others to clean it off before too much of it set. Very stressful because at any snag in the fast as hell process it would create imperfections that might be hard to fix later; the ratio of glaze and thinner being mixed improperly led to it setting way to fast. And then when you're tasked with removing more of it after the fact, one press of a rag with too much pressure or too much glaze thinner could lead to big blotches of emptiness. This technique looks good because the point seems to be only to get it in the grain (which I actually prefer), you dont have to worry about removing too much glaze from the surface.
Love this. But I believe you can do this with black stain and Minwax grain highlighter in a faster amount of time.
That would be really cool to do a treatment like this on a plaque using university colors (IU, UofM, etc.)
It sure would...that's a great idea. Thanks for your comment. Wes
Great demonstration Wes! It looks fabulous, does it come in other colours? 👌👌👌👌👌
Hi John...The company does have a large product line so you should be able to find the colors you are looking for. Thank you!!

Holy crap batman. They start 1.3 liters at $170.99 usd. I'm wanting to do my whole kitchen like this. Who else makes a similar product?????
Can you show how to have two colors (gray/white)with a mixed together look. Like a gray and white woodgrain floor and how the colors mix together. But cabinet door has noo woodgrain. I saw a couple and they looked amazing and understand it is easy to do.
I made a walnut slab table top and the finish I used didn't look good. Decided to give Rubio a try (Pure) and put 2 coats on. Turned out amazing and it's going to be my go-to finish for tables.
Sounds great! Thanks for your comment and for the visit. Wes
Can you PLZ post a picture of the walnut slab finished product?
@@admnerysrodriguez4633 Sure thing. Here
s a link to my Instagram: instagram.com/p/CPoHek9DIxI/?
Looks great Wes!.When cerusing, what grit do you want to sand the wood to before wire brushing/spraying WVP? Thanks!
Jacob...I sanded the wood to 120 grit and then wire brushed before applying the color coats. Thank you for watching. Wes
Nice! I'd like to use this for an electric guitar made of swamp ash. Big bold grain like oak. Sample size looks perfect.
I don't get the wire brush part though. It sounds like that would scratch the hell out of the surface, in a bad way.
On a guitar you probably wouldn't want to do a wire brush to keep the surface smooth. Thanks for watching. Wes
Hi Wes, just saw that product on another site, and wondered how it would work. Well, now that I've seen what you have done - the final result is AMAZING! Wondering why you didn't use your steel brush this time or did I miss it? lol
Yes...I actually did prep the surface with a wire brush to enhance the grain. Thanks for watching, Wes
Love the Chanel…
Did you ceruse your hair??
lol .. love the gray with black in the soft hairs…
Which Rubio products did you use? Looks amazing.
nice ! the key is, of course, using an open grain wood like oak or ash.
Correct. Thanks for watching, Wes
I love it ! Can you do something like this on a deck ?
I believe so...go to their website. It is full of good information and tutorials on different applications. Thanks Wes
I saw his original cerusing video. I prefer that method. Seems cheaper, faster and less labor-intensive with more striking results.
Thank you I appreciate your comment. Wes
This is cool! do you think the white would be toned down a little bit if you used less? Maybe if i use a grey instead of white?
Hey Wes, I’m about ready to start the finishing on my project and I tried wire brushing the oak and not sure on hard or how much to get the wood ready for application
Hi...the table top I did was 24" in diameter and I used my wire brush for 5 minutes scrubbing good and hard. It was enough to feel an increase in the texture of the grain but not making it rough. Give that a try for your project and let me know how it goes. Thank you...good luck!
Amazing!!! Unbelievable!! U r one talented man!! BTW, is Rubios first name Mark??!
🤣👏👏
😂
I really enjoy your videos, you present information in a usable way. You may want to consider a microphone which doesn’t pick up your breathing, the heavy breathing sounds detract from your presentation. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for visiting the channel...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Hi Wes,
Great Video!!! I am trying to repeat your instructions. Can you tell me the type of sanding sponge you use in the video? The one that I tried to use seemed to pull the finish off instead of getting it deeper into the grains. I'll keep watching your other videos for more tips and tricks.
Thank You,
Hi Nick...the sanding sponge I use is labeled "fine" and purchased at my local paint supplier. You might be using a sanding sponge that is too course. Hope this helps. Thanks Wes
Hi Wes. What shade of white is that?
Beautiful technique, but I liked the all-black Rubio Monocot best - without the white cerusing - which does highlight the grain) but adds too much contrast for my taste. Could a gray be used instead of white?
The black base coat appears to be a dye. Do you think it would help to apply a coat of some sort of clear sealant before applying the white?
WOW
Can this be used on existing finished wood. Like the oak cabinet doors?
Hi Wes, thank you for your videos! I am trying this on our oak cabinets and it's not working out well. We have gone through your video quite a few times and we're not sure what we're doing wrong. We scrubbed the cabinets with TSP, lightly sanded, wire brushed, etc. We are having two issues. When we wipe the black off, it comes completely off in some areas. If we don't wipe it off, it soaks into the wood and you can see the original color again. We are having the same issue with the white, it is not staying in the grain, the black stays. The only thing that is different than your piece is our cabinets were originally stained green. I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas? Thanks!
Teresa...I have not used Rubio over the top of an existing finish. My video was on new wood. Check Rubio Monocoat website for the help you need. They have great customer service and will help you through your project. Good luck! Wes
I’m excited to try this on a vintage oak table I just stripped. What grit sandpaper do you use for the final sanding before applying the monocoat?
Karen...I used 150 grit sandpaper. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes thank you so much. Bought all the supplies and am doing the project today 🤞
Did you use the wire brush before the pre color? I'm building a tv stand. Got the red oak and Rubio supplies. Appreciate the video!
Yes I did. Glad you enjoyed it...good luck with your tv stand. Wes
Can Oil Plus 2C be applied to stained/dyed wood or only to raw wood?
Hey Wes, I’m in the process of building a gun cabinet for a customer and I was going to attempt to do the Cerusing method that you did in an earlier vid. Now I’m intrigued by this method. Can you do a white base coat first and the the dark glaze.
Thanks Mike.
Hi...glad you enjoyed the video. I liked this process as well, it's a great look. I would recommend going to the company's website and finding a dealer in your area.
They do have a large product line so you should be able to find the colors you are looking for. Thank you!!

@@WoodworkingWithWes Hi Wes.
Like this finish. Have you seen a finishing technique where they use distilled vinegar to this similar finish?
Also would you recommend this technique on unfinished Oak stairs?
Great vid Wes. I think your end product looks great. However, I think you could have got away with using 1/3 the Rubio, that stuff is expensive but goes a long long way.
You are probably right :)) thanks for your comment. Wes
Even less,a little Rubio goes a long way...
I am currently waiting the 2 hours untill i add my white finish with the accelerator- i hope it turns out the same-- the intense black looks exactly the same for mine just hope the wood grain gets filled in with that white
Rubio is a great product...your results should be just fine. Good luck !! Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes noppe i didnt go deep enough with my brush it was a fail so i sanded it and bought more intense black- to see if my grain will stick out now- note to those make sure you really dig into the grain
Do you sponge with the paint wet? Or you let to dryer.
Can i protec Whitt nitro or Other Caín of vernice? Thankh, Greta Job
I’m really impressed with your cerusing processes. Would the Rubio work over an already finished oak cabinet the way you shown the others with only a wire brush prep? Could you show a black on black or deep brown on black for those of us not crazy over 80’s zebra look?
I don't think Rubio Monocoat will work on a previously finished door. You could check with their manufacturer's website to verify. Thanks for watching, Wes
Can you imagine how a wood floor would look like after doing this? And how labor intensive and costly it would be but it would be worth it.
Curious how it would hold up to traffic
After a quick search it looks awesome

The product is very expensive.
@@scottgorman7166 ya, 170 bucks a liter.
Can you do this to a kitchen cabinet
