- In this video I do a review and demonstration of the liquid wood product Retique It. This product allows you to stain pieces that aren't made of real wood and have no grain. It's a great way to give a high end look
You can purchase your Retique It here ----- retiqueit.net/44marketplace

This stuffs amazing. It is literally wood in a can! Hence “liquid wood”. It’s that easy. Use your retique it, your tool, your stain tool again if you want? Then clear coat to protect. That’s my take away! Can’t wait to use! Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for watching
Got to love ya!!! You southern women can be so funny. I'm also a southern woman from La I'm. Enjoying listening to you and being very informative about the product and making me a believer . I shall be ordering it. You go girl!!!!p
Thank you so much! Please reach out if you have any questions
OMG, you are just the cutest! But I am totally getting this stuff. I am getting some ikea bookcases that I want to put a stained wood top on, but can't get the wood I like in the width I need. Now I can get some mdf and this stuff instead. I'm so excited. Thanks for the video, it sold me!
OMG,, you're too kind. Thank you
Your opening was fab, I thought who is this person. You look fabulous, you looked like you had a fashion make over. I will have to put that product in my arsinal.
Thank you so much! I just decided I'm over 50 and needed something different
Omg you were cracking me up with your little sayings. Great video! I bought some of this and can't wait to try it.
Thank you! My craziness is natural! Lol
Thank you for this video! I have a Sauder desk that the top part of the "finish" is pealing like paper! I ordered Retique It this evening! Thanks again!!😊💓
Thank you so much for watching
Thank you for posting this video. I have an 18 year old bedroom set that is too good of quality and too useful to replace (LOTS of drawers- 17 between 2 nightstands & a dresser, I kid you not), BUUUUUT way too dark stained for my personal preference these days. I don't have the space nor inclination to have a bunch of sanding and carpentry tools nor do I feel like spending the amount of money it would cost to get a cheaper set on getting it professionally refinished a lighter wood color- hence other options.
I was dead set on chalk painting the bottom half and paying a fraction of the cost to have someone professionally refinish JUST the tops. Until I found Retique It liquid wood (miraculously) while scrolling down the Retique It paint colors. Buuuuut of course I'm thinking to myself, buuuuut does it work? Because the company's photos could of course be misleading. Well, I guess you addressed THAT elephant in the room.
Thank you for being the guinea pig for the rest of us scratching our heads wondering if the results are good and debating back and forth in our heads whether to simply buy it and sample it on something.
I'm so happy I could help. ♥️♥️
I'm so happy to have found this channel! I have a couple of questions: 1) I have a side table where the laminate has bubbled from water getting on it. Do I have to sand that down and smooth it out? 2) I also have something slicker than MDF. It's that shiny black lacquer (plastic ? not sure). It chips off now and then. Got it in the late 80's. Hate it. Am loving furniture pieces that have been done in charcoal black with dark brown top and trim pieces. Thoughts. I appreciate your help and thanks for sharing!
Yes, sand it smooth. Use Dixie Belle Slick Stick and paint, after cleaning. It will look amazing
It doesn’t stick to everything!! Almost every piece of furniture in my house has been re loved. I am not a beginner, but I am certainly not a professional. I am a perfectionist. If something doesn’t turn out the way I imagined, I wouldn’t use it in my home. I was given some wooden lockers. I saw lots of potential in them. I replaced the hardware & my husband built shelving for the inside. I cleaned them with Krud Kutter & then with water & left them overnight. My plan was to use Retique It. I started on the front of the first door. The base coat covered about 3/4 th of the door leaving big blotches uncovered. I sanded the door, tried again, same results. I am in the process of starting over, using Slick Stick as my base. Very Disappointed!
I'm very sorry to hear that. That has never been my experience
I have to try this. Looks great! We all have some of this mess in our house.
It's really amazing
Thanks for sharing this! I want to redo my countertop. I used giani and it started discoloring and chipping in 3 months. How does this product hold up over time and what is recommended to clean it with? I use essential oils household cleaner so I want to make sure it is safe to use on it. Thank you!
I'm about to order this right now and do an old antique hutch from the store for $50. The old dark finish just will not come off so I'm going to try and retique it then restain a lighter color.. fingers crossed.
Please let me know how it goes
Can you send me directions, plz? Amazing!!!! 💖❤️
Can you please send me the instructions. I’m deciding if this is the right product for my project.
So I want to use this on my wood floors to make them lighter. Is it possible?
It is possible, but keep in mind that wood floors get a lot of wear, so be sure to prep well
@@PamHaskins tyvm. I have a water sealer that Heirloom makes, it works fantastic. I painted my tub and tiles 2 yrs ago and love their products so I'm thinking it will work. Thank you for replying 🙂
@@holleyhagerty2560 I want to see pics when you finish ♥️
@@PamHaskins how do I upload pics on here?
This stuff is amazing!! I love to use it on those problem pieces! Have you tried it?
That looks amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this. I've never tried anything like that. You are so much fun!!!!
No I've never tried it.
Hi Pam. I can't tell you what material my faux wood night stand is made of but it has a cherry wood finish that was damaged with water from various objects. I sanded down to white material and attempted to stain using polyurethane paint. It looks worse now than when I started. What can be done to fix it?
1st of all you are just adorable. I enjoy listening to you every time. I have a question. If I want to have depth but have a bleached look to my would and I used for ticket would I paint my base first? Would I seal it? And then what color retake it would I use? Then would I do a stain over that or a paint wash?
Thank you so much! You just made my day! Start with a darker color first for depth, or add stain over the whitewash with a dry brush method. I seal mine with Gator Hide
Do need to sand the surface before applying the Retique it?
No, but I do like to scuff it a little if it's a really shiny surface, just to give it a tooth
Great video straight to the point, but I can't find this brand here in Germany, say please any dupe you may know being sold here in Europe.
I've reach out to a friend of mine to see if she knows of something similar there. I will let you know
Does this work on resin ?
Hi, thank you so much for this video. Are you still using retique it or have you found a better product that does what retique it does? We are trying it today, we are trying to tone down our grain but not remove it entirely. You mentioned that you would show the retique it without using the grain tool, did you do a video for that? Thanks again. We are looking forward to trying it. 👍🏻
I like retique it for certain things, and your situation sounds perfect for it.
Looks amazing. 2 questions. 1. I am an animal lover and unfortunately sometimes my beautiful furniture suffers. Scratch fill product show... this looks like it could do a great job to fill a deep scratch and then stain . Am I correct? 2. How about using this on a smooth wood top due to you don’t want to refinish the entire piece but wish to give the top grain texture? Will this work for this also? I don’t have much laminate but I truly am lazy in stripping down wood and I love the quickness and beauty this provided! Thank you for the video!
This is great for those situations! It's really so useful for so many reasons. I love it as an alternative to stripping and sanding
Pam Haskins thank you Pam! Love to hear that! I will be getting some of this and Dixie! Thanks again!!!!
@@stephaniemccullough4039 yay! Please let me know if I can help you with anything
Hi Pam. Do you know how durable this is? I'd like to use it on my countertops but they get lots of use of course. Thanks!
I know the wood grain tool is optional. Did you do one without the wood grain tool because the kits come with or without this tool? I want to do my garage doors and I think it would be easier without using the tool.
So I have this awesome table with a hinged leaf that folds upon itself. It’s laminate, so I bought this stuff to redo it. What’s holding me up is, when I paint it with retique it, and then close the table, will it adhere to itself? I have this image in my mind that I go to open the table for a holiday dinner and it’s stuck together.
It may do that. You may have to disassemble to rehab it. Do you have pics? email me at 44marketplace@gmail.com I would love to help
Have you used this on concrete? I want to do my concrete floors.
I haven't used it on concrete but have used it on similar surfaces
Do I just poly over it to finish
Yes, almost any topcoat will do
How well do you think this would work on wood floors. Maybe spruce up wood floors without sanding and all that extra work? Hmmmm, what do you think?
It would depend on the topcoat you use over it as to how well it will wear
My buddy told me about this. I'm re-finishing one of our bathrooms and it has a light laminate cabinet. I'm going to try this product and then use minwax gel walnut stain. Do you recommend getting the light wood retique it? Nice product.
I would get light wood. You can stain it the color you like easier. Dark wood is better with darker stains like espresso
I wanted to order a kit, but it isn’t set up to open. Thank you, I would love to order a kit.
Let me check on that for you and let you know.
Thinking about using this on my laminate kitchen countertops. Can this product be used on them and if so primer would be recommended?
Yes, but I would prime first, then use a water repellent topcoat, several coats
Have you used this on countertops? What is the durability as far as heat, scratches, cleaning products... Any insight would be so helpful!! I've redone my Formica countertops twice and I'm still not happy with them but I think this will be my solution!!
It really depends on the topcoat you use
I'm fighting with texture from slick stick and sanding
Will this fill in smooth again to match the other pices..
It can
Question ! I have several laminate black, five shelf bookshelf’s, do you think this product would work well to transform into a farm style bookshelf to display, in a light color ? I use the shelf’s for specific collections of family pass down dishes ! Thank you !
Second question I also have a very tiny bathroom that has wall paper and sections of new sheet rock, I’m wanting to do something to the room and wonder how this paint would do if I used it on the walls, verses using textured paint with a designed roller. Any ideas on how it would do ? Light greens, Shades of pink and it’s kind of an antique floral bathroom but I just want to create a gallery wall basically around the 3 walls in the tolet area using a bunch of empty frames and mirrors. I think this wood look on the walls would be perfect with the different shapes of thick designed old picture frames but I’m not sure !
Can you use any stain on it? Like from lowes or anywhere?
You sure can.
I see this is an old video but hopefully I can get your advice. I want two cabinets that look like RH French Contemporary cabinet in Brushed Brown or the Burke Wyeth cabinet in Dark Carbon. I certainly am not going to pay the thousands of dollars these cabinets cost. I found the Ikea Billy/Oxberg cabinet and I was thinking I could add legs, bar pulls, and stain it with this product. I am pretty artistic and have done many different types of crafts over the years, but have never stained anything. I am hoping you might be able to tell me the exact products to buy to get this look. Hopefully you can look up the mentioned pieces to see what I'm going for. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer about tools, brands, and/or stain colors to achieve the desired look.
Which finish do you suggest? I'm torn between barn wood and dark oak for my kitchen Reno
Im restoring a waterfall desk. It has a beautiful grain but the front curve is very badly damaged with dry rot. I repaired the damage with bondo but I want to hide the repair I Have you tried it over bondo ?
It works beautifully
Would this work for cabinets that are sealed? Currently have the orange 90's oak cabinets and stripping is a awful undertaking with all the detailing.
Yes it will
looks amazing can you do floors? Like plywood?
I haven't found anything I can't use it on
What kind of stain do I put on it the package says do not use penetrating stain
I use gel stain usually. Water based gel stain does a great job
So when you say there’s “texture”, what exactly does that mean? I want to “stain” my dining table with DB gel stain walnut, for a nice classy top but I don’t want to feel the wood grain texture I would be adding. Does that make sense? Will this product be okay?
Yes, I usually give it texture with a graining tool, but you don't have to. You can just brush it on so that you can have a surface to stain
I have already stained my laminate countertops, can I put this ove what I've already done?
You can buy do you need to, if you've already stained them
Can this product be used to refinish an old antique piece of furniture?
Yes, it works great
Can you tell me what color you used? Thanks.
Can this be applied over furniture wax, or does wax need to first be removed?
Hey there ... can it be painted over or just stained? Thanks!
Either can be used
for my dining/kitchen table, I've purchased the liquid wood in the large container along with the smaller can of what I thought was stain but it also says liquid wood in the color 16 old oak
and also Weathered Oak Bleached over light wood Grained in Old Oak.
My Plan was to Start with liquid wood then the Light Wood and use a graining tool and then finish with the weathered look.
Do I have too many supplies? OR do I also need to seal this as well?
No, you would rather have plenty than to come up short. I would love to see pics
I tried it to cover up deep gouges in my wood floor. I filled in the gouges with wood putty and painted Retique It over the area and then tried staining the floor. The Retique It did not absorb the stain. I used the Varathane stain as recommended. Any suggestion as to what I did wrong or why the Retique will not absorb the stain?
Sometimes a second coat of retique it needs to be used over wood filler
Do you think this would work on the top of a dresser that I sanded through the veneer on in a few spots?
Yes, we've done it in Creative Finishes Boot Camp. It works great
Hey Pam. Great video. What color Voodoo Gel Stain did you use on the MDF? Tnank you.
Tobacco Road Voodoo Gel Stain
@@PamHaskins Thanks Pam!
Does it work with all stains or just gel stain? Have you tried with regular stain?
Most stains work
That is amaze balls Pam. Woohoo
It really is! Thanks for watching
I hurt my brain just reading that 🤯
Can you sand it down afterwards? Does this remove the graining?
It can be sanded lightly
Can Retique It be used on walls to look like modern day paneling?
Yes, it sure can
Did you say you cleaned it with white lightening and then sanded it? I can't hear the video very well
You can use water based or oil based over retique it
@@PamHaskins I just bought a gallon of the retique it & instead of using the milk paint I decided to use GF gel stain with it...will I have to wipe off the gel stain or can I paint it on with no wiping, it's oil based.
I want to renew a laminate tv unit with this & put a grain on it with a graining tool then paint with milk paint, so I want to be sure I don't have to sand first & apply primer to the laminate b4 applying the Retique It? The milk paint that I want to use is self-leveling and self-sealing. Does whatever product used on top of the liquid wood have to be water based only, or can it be either water base or oil base?
Why would you waste that much money on liquid wood if your ust going to paint it?? There are many much cheaper ways to get a wood grain texture and arent going to stain it to see the wood grain. That's a crazy waste of money fornwhat won't even have a great result in your case.
@@famousforever8556 It's the labor intense factor...if I don't have to sand & prime then that is a big factor for me, bigger than the cost...I want to have a visible wood grain that you can see in the right light/angle & feel! I realize the grain won't be as visible as with a stain product! Thanks for your input!
What colors are u using?
Can you use dixie bell gel stain over retiqueit?
You sure can
Could i use it on plastic folding tables?
You would need a bonding primer
Can u use this on a vinyl floor?
I would think so, but I would use something for adhesion first, like Dixie Belle Slick Stick
Could one use this on IKEA furniture?
You sure can
Is it durable??
Yes it is
on top of what I've already done?
I am no sure what you have done already

Has anyone used this in a kitchen or bathroom where it’s around steamy water etc...
It works fine there, but I would definitely use a water repellent topcoat over it
Gator hide?
gator hide is a topcoat by Dixie Belle Paint Company

Hi, can this be used in high traffic areas as stairs or floors?
I'll be honest, I've never tried it there. It probably can, with the proper prep
Would love to retique my baseboards? Has anyone done that?
I haven't done that, but have seen it done.
Sucks buckets 🤣🤣 that was funny
Thank you! 🤣🤣
Has anyone tried this on hardwood floors
Someone messaged me one day that they saw a video with it used on hardwood floors, but I've never personally seen it. I'm sorry
Can you use gel stain over it?
Yes, it works great
What colors did you use for the back of door
Oh and no no no no sanding! At all! Before or after.
Right!
