I'm so happy to have found this! We've got lots of mid century modern 'blonde' furniture (essentially it's just a fake wood look that's painted on). Every time I've sanded it lightly, it's particle board, so the only option was painting. This has changed everything! 💕
WOW! Love this process, I had no idea it would come out like that, it looks beautiful! I have used the White SFO over and raw silk and little lamb painted kitchen table top and love it. But this is a whole new dimension!
great idea...need this bad for the cheap wood furniture i keep falling in love with that is beyond distressed...really ready for the dump...this may just help. Well made video Thanks
Hi Kimberly, when doing research into how to blend paint to achieve a faux wood look, I watched your videos (excellent). Then I had a thought of *what about used Fusion SFO over paint ????*, which of course led me here… This finish looks so similar to the paint blended technique but maybe this one is more user friendly? I’ll have to try it. Because I’ll be putting it onto a living room side table, should I put anything else on top of it once it’s fully dry for even more durability? Asking because although I have coasters to use under a glass or cup, I often see my spouse or son “forget” to use them… which I why I’ll be refinishing the table in the first place. Thank you. Your tutorials and videos are super.
IT WORKS!!!! I watched your video very carefully and used the same Fusion Stain in Cappuccino and my two nightstands came out BEAUTIFUL! I took lots of pictures and now my painting friends are Hooked! I love the way you take your time explaining and going into such detail. It really helped this First Time furniture painter. You gave me the confidence I needed to give it a try. Just for future knowledge: Can you do multiple coats to keep darkening the color or is it best to stick with your first try? Have you ever tried multiple coats?
Hi this is exactly what I been looking to do. But people have told me it can't be done. ..but I found your channel and am extremely interested and happy thank you
I do this technique all the time and it absolutely can be done! I am not sure what you are being told, but applying a stain over paint is 10% doable! Good luck and happy painting
I have a table that was painted with CHAULK paint. It wasn’t fun to paint with but I had to continue. So can I use this product over chaulk paint also? I would like to change the look. Thank you for this video. It’s awesome!!
That is so cool! I’m new to painting furniture. Only four projects. I understand that it’s a stain and top coat all in one, but is the effect the same as a wash! Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos!!!!
That’s awesome! It is a versatile product, I also use as a glaze, check that video out on here too! Your welcome and Thanks for watching and Happy Painting!
So glad this was in my feed, I’ve researched so much and had no luck. I’m working a dining table that has a lot of water damage on the veneer and odors Had to prime it with bin shellac and it lost the wood look 😔. May have to try this ❤️
My threshold was painted and was peeling off so I sanded the area but some areas I just couldn't sand so I am hoping the stain will cover the few streaks of paint. Beautiful work
@@citticat2 as with most stains they are more sheer than a paint - so the odds that it will cover well are questionable 😀 you can try layering several coats to try and cover it better and thank you so much
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thanks, yes I will go buy the Fusion stain tomorrow. I primed my table top now and will paint tomorrow and stain afterwards. I will get my stained look yet!!
I finished my roll top desk using cappuccino stain over white chalk paint. It looks great. I used more of a glaze technique to give the desk an aged look. My question is, why do some area have more sheen than other areas? I don’t want to have to apply a clear top coat knowing this product has it already. I don’t mind the matte look on this desk, but just wondering what l could do differently next time. Thank you for all your ideas. Pat
Great video. I applied Driftwood SFO over Fusion Raw Silk dresser tops and very happy with the turn out. I was nervous to try this technique but your video helped. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making videos.
Absolutely beautiful! I love this. I’m currently working on a painted hutch wanting to use stain. Soooo glad I found you! Where can I get that stain you use?? I bought Rust-Oleum Wood Stain in Kona. Any tips, ideas, advice is desperately needed please. Thank you so much for being here and sharing with us! YOU ROCK
Thank you! For fusion - You can use my link here and get 10% off too. shop.fusionmineralpaint.ca/?rfsn=6569217.d95cc90 As for the rustoleum - I haven’t used that - I have used Varathane Kona. But traditional stains won’t work the way this one does, as traditional oil based stain don’t have the open time (2-3min) compared to the fusion (10 min) which gives you more time to work with it and create the beautiful tops. You are so welcome - awe thanks 😀
You always have such easy-to-follow videos. Thanks...super easy & cool look! I'm working on some old doors. Maybe do a little distressing of the paint before the stain. But brilliant to have the topcoat already incorporated. What a time saver.
I bought a white farmhouse coffee table and tv stand with light wood tops. I ca can’t find an end table that matches so I’m buying an all white one and planned on trying to match the wood tops. This is the exact color I’m going for so I’m so glad I saw you’re video. Can I use gel stain? I can’t wait to diy it myself! Thank you.
Thank you all for your instructional and very helpful videos (newbie). This dresser is beautiful, how is it that your edging is darker? Did you just simply not wipe off?
Of course and thank you for watching! it's not really darker, the camera angle and lighting make it appear that way, but it was all very uniform in color and pattern. If you want it darker you would just not wipe back as extensively, still wipe back, just not has hard
Absolutely gorgeous! I loved this video! It was super helpful! Thanks so much! Just wondering, do you have a video using the Fusion Mineral Paint in the driftwood color over a painted surface?
I have some of this in ebony that I plan to apply. Question, I plan to put some gilding wax on a raised stencil, should I do the wax before or after the SFO?
Wow, super cute! I have a question. Is it possible to paint gel stain over primer on rough cut lumber? I'm trying to make a beam in a 130 year old house that has been painted with primer look like wood again.
@@reinlily7972 it is possible but stains being sheer and this isn’t a gel stain (gel stains are a little thicker and have more buildable coverage). So if you were to take the stain right over the primer you will see the color of the primer - I would suggest painting over the primer in a neutral tone (cream, taupe) then going in with the stain over that
So pretty!! Has anyone done this with a white wash then minwax oil based stain? I plan on doing a white wash and the stain 2 days after so no interactions happen if any. I accidentally sanded down to far and can’t use just stain now.
I’m wondering the same thing. I ended up doing a paint followed by rust oleum gel stain, but it’s not quite the right color, and I’d like to try a MinWax wood finish on top, but not sure if it’ll take over painted wood. I’m 90% done and satisfied and don’t want to mess it up!
Love the video. Thanks for sharing! Quick question - if I wanted a darker colour would I be just leaving it without wiping? Or would I need to wipe and apply multiple coats, until I get the desired result? Thank you.
Thank you - I would definitely wipe back or you may not like the look and it will take forever to dry. I would Layer multiple coats (making sure you allow ample time in between)
Hi, I just took took paint off of a table and chairs. The white paint that was stripped off is embedded deep into the wood in areas. Want to stain it now, was told the stain would not adhere to thise areas. Wondering what this would look like on that. Its mostly the legs that have the residual white imbedded. What do you think?
This is gorgeous!..have a white buffet that I want to do something different to the top..cannot wait to try! Have you ever lightly sanded the top or do you just go right over paint?? Want the driftwood look...
This is awesome! We just bought a new build home with white banisters and spindles. Do you think this would be fine for the banisters if I lightly sand them first (they're very shiny)? I want to stain them a pretty dark brown...
Love this video very helpful! I have already painted my table top with a cream colored Behr Premium Satin cabinet paint. Will this stain work on that type of paint?
Thank you for this! I have painted a kitchen table and chairs with a Sherwin Williams yellow and BB Frosch but have been struggling mightily with the look I want on the table top. The table had previously been stained white (about 25 years ago!) This is exactly what I am looking for! I've ordered the Fusion Stain and Finishing OIl. I'm hoping 4th time is a charm.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Is this something that you think would look good on MDF trim that I painted white? Overall I look the white look but I really wish I would've done a dark stain instead. I'm not sure how MDF board would work for stain either. I just built a house so I definitely have no plans in removing the trim and replacing. If it's not doable to stain the MDF board overtop the white paint then I'll just leave it as is.
@@yooper9062 So over MDF itself no - but if you use their ultra grip, paint it and then stain like I did in the video it will have good adhesion and be good to go!
Thank you - no, gel stain sit on top and doesn't penetrate, this will, its also thin like a normal stain and it has an open time of 10 min - so easy to manipulate - gel stain is not.
Can this be done to stair treads? If so, do you know what the wear and tear is for the stairs and the stain? Is this stain pretty durable for foot traffic? Thank you. :)
@@tammyjones9593 it can this profit once cured (10 days) it’s super durable - you can also add a topcoat for additional protection - but anytime you are talking floors and heavy traffic - wear and tear will come easier of course - check their website to learn more about the product
I have a white painted dresser with stains and nics on top of it. Is it necessary to re-paint it white first, then use this stain over it? Or can I just use the stain on it to cover up the blemishes and small scratches it has on it?
It’s best to use over fresh paint or you would want to scuff sand your current paint for better adhesion. I have never used over household paint, so I can’t say exactly how it will go, I would test an area or do a test board if you can
Hi. Love this channel! I am going to try this on my white dining room table. Two questions" 1. The original paint isn't Fusion Mineral Paint. I have no idea what it is. 2. Do I have to sand before applying Fusion Stain? Thanks!
Thank you so much! If you are staining over existing paint and don't know what it is I would at least scuff sand it in case there is any clear coat on it - if it was waxed it will not accept the oil based stain - just keep that in mind
Wow! This is beautiful. I’ve got a whitewash table that I want to modify to match my new kitchen; which has espresso cabinets. I love my table set. Part of the table is whitewash and the rest is not. Can I do this over the whitewash and make a shade darker than what you did? If so how? Thanks I’m advance
This works over fresh paint or bare wood best. You would want to scuff sand so that there is good adhesion any existing . If you want more detailed instruction - I would be happy to do a virtual one on one with you - you can reach out through my website www.borninabarnboutique.net
Thanks again for yet another great tutorial. You are indeed my go to for my desire to begin painting my old pieces of furniture. Kimberly, I know you answered another's question in regards to staining over paint. You said not necessary as it has a built in top coat. As you yourself usually top coat over fusion mineral paint on top of high traffic areas and the paint also has a built in top coat, I'm wondering if a top coat would still be beneficial over the stain and finishing oil? I'll be trying your technique on bedside tables and a dresser. Hoping you can assist. Cheers and thanks again for being so great at what you do.
Does it matter what color paint is underneath. I have raw silk but was wondering if I should use cathedral taupe to try and acheipve a oak type color with the sfo like you use
If one coat gets your desired look then do you need to apply any layers of SFO in natural to get the durability if doing a dining room table? Also would the natural yellow over time?
I would suggest adding the natural for added durability - they say it can yellow over white. This is what they say about it - Please keep in mind that all oil based products typically yellow in time. Using this over top of a white paint, will cause a slight yellowing effect. We recommend our Tough Coat for going over lighter colours to avoid yellowing.
Can I use this over Sherwin latex semi gloss paint? I painted my kitchen cabinets a white color but I’m unhappy with how plain they are. I’d like to add a little depth and character to them with this! Thank you!
Well I have never used over latex paint, if you can I would test on an area. You want the stain to have something to grab onto - so try scuffing it up and then applying
@@bellsquadvlogs9699 I never opened the drawers in the video so not sure what your referring to - but if there is ever paint on the drawers - I would absolutely remove - I like my pieces to be as new as possible when selling. So I clean everything 😀
@@deborahmullenix7546 I like tan wash or a whitewash for that. Fusion also just came out with a taupe stain that would be nice. I also love Lilly moon gel stains in hay bale (my curated color) or natural cork
I love this and want to recreate this look! I looked into ordering this exact product and there seems to be a bit of a wait time in when I’d receive it - a few weeks. Is there anything comparable that I can purchase from Home Depot or Lowe’s so that I can work on this now? The idea of waiting is killing me lol! Thank you in advance for the information!
@@emily8735 have you tried searching for retailers near you? There are a lot of fusion retailers. No there is no product like this at the big box stores - the advantage to this product is its 10 min open time (most stains are 30sec-2 min) making blending way easier. It also have a the topcoat built in
Unfortunately in this formula they don't have a darker brown than the espresso - the key with this product is the open time - it is 10 min whereas normal stain is 2 min making it harder to apply and wipe back fast enough and get a good end result.You can certainly try it with traditional oil based stains - but I can't speak to that experience as I have not used it for this look
I saw product on Amazon..would expresso be good if I want a much darker stain over white table?? And if the paint has been on for awhile, do I paint it again or just sand
So other stains do have the same open time as this particular product (his has a 10 min open time) which allows to create this look very easy. You can try but know that other stains have a max open time of 2 min, making it harder to apply, wipe back and blend as easily. I have never done over paint that has been on for a while, so I can’t say, but I think it would be best to apply a fresh coat for best adhesion.
I like it! I have a kitchen table and I'm going to stain it with java gel stain, but the chairs have 2 wood seats and 2 white painted seats. I'm nervous as how this will turn out...
I wouldn’t recommend this technique with Java gel. It’s totally different than the stain I’m using here in the video (it’s thick and does not have an open time like this stain to work with).
Hi where did you buy that stain? I want to do my kitchen cabinets that were painted white but I think I need another product over them first. Thank you
This always work best on a freshly painted surface - but you can use over previously painted if you clean and scuff sand them finely - the stain will need something to grab onto
So I have never used this stain over a stain or a stain wit poly in it. I would try a test section to see how it works together first. I’m not too sure it will adhere well as you are using a water based stain with poly and then applying the SFO (an oil based stain with built in top coat).
Water based acrylic, any of the furniture paints and a less glossy finish is best. Stay away from Latex for furniture, it will not adhere well and peel
Looking for help. I have a bedroom set that was washed oak. I painted it antique white chalk paint 6 years ago. I’d like it to be a dark wood now. What can I do?
You could strip and sand to bare wood and stain, that will give you the truest look of a dark wood look Or you can paint it darker and then use the SFO in cappuccino over it
Thank you for this great video. I want to do this to our end tables which are white, with the Fusion Driftwood. I am not sure what they were originally painted with, latex or oil base paint. I see that the Fusion is an oil based stain so can I still use it or is there a way of finding out what paint is on the end table's? Thank you.
Thank you - It’s hard to tell what type of paint is on a piece. I would suggest scuffing it up just a tad to create good adhesion with the stain and give it a try, you never know sometimes u less you go for it! 😀
So this is not a gel stain, this is an oil based stain and topcoat in one and will not sit well just on top of laminate, I would recommend painting first like I did here - you will have a better long-lasting outcome 😀
@@chandascorner possibly with a black wax you may be able to achieve that look over a light cool tone paint, see if you can do a little test piece to try it out
I have a wood antique step stool with the fold out steps that I’ve been working on for far too long. I’ve stripped, sanded, repeatedly. Could I instead paint it white and stain it the color I desire? Gel/liquid stain? I’ve come this far I don’t want to see this particular shade of green anymore & as you can imagine, with this piece there are a lot of corners.
Yes you absolutely can! I prefer the Fusion SFO, it has a longer open time to work with and for this look, it's all I have used so I can't speak to other stains. Water based stains absorb and dry pretty darn fast, making it hard to work (unless using water to activate and blend). Traditional oil based stains have an open time of 2-3 minutes, so you have to work quickly. The fusion stain has a 10 minute open time, thus being easier to work with
No that’s the finishing oil part, it’s a top coat. This is a two for one product - stain and topcoat in one. I mention that in the video, super durable and no need for added topcoat.
I just painted my cabinets , they don't have to be perfect at all. But I was wondering if they could be stained after . They are a dark greenish , can I put a lighter stain on them to just tone down a bit?
So the stain won’t lighten overall when going over a dark color unfortunately - I’m not sure it would give you the look your going for - since stains are sheer - dark works over a light paint color - but putting a light stain over a dark paint wont give you the lighter look very much
Good morning! Thanks for this great video which makes it look so easy with an amazing result! Quick question: 10 min open time, you apply and work it for 10 minutes and walk away! How long do you walk away for before you wipe it off? Thanks in advance.
Hi. It just means you have up to 10 min to work with and wipe it back before it sets, you can wipe back immediately if you want, you just don’t have to rush like most stains that need to be wiped back immediately. This is helpful when you are blending their stains as well as working to achieve a certain look.
Thank for this video! I am very new (only 3 pieces for myself - not confident enuff to sell yet!) U explain so well and make it all look so easy! I want to do a grey washed wood look on top of an end table. - what color paint and stain do u suggest?
You can but it’s not necessary! It has a built in top coat and is extremely durable once cured, if you are going to add one, I would wait until cure time - 10 days. They suggest using their natural SFO over the top if you want added sheen
I painted with Dixie Bell mineral and used the Fusion on the top over it. It’s been about 18 hours and is a little sticky. I need to add more as I want it darker. Is it being sticky normal for a while?
Depending on what you layer over it and your weather conditions - it can take longer to dry. I have never experienced that, but have seen on many forums people have experienced this. I don't feel like its normal though since I have used this for years and never had issues (im in a dry climate) but after 8 hours I have always found it to be dry and good to go!

I’m wondering the same thing. I ended up doing a paint followed by rust oleum gel stain, but it’s not quite the right color, and I’d like to try a MinWax wood finish on top, but not sure if it’ll take over painted wood. I’m 90% done and satisfied and don’t want to mess it up!
Love the video. Thanks for sharing! Quick question - if I wanted a darker colour would I be just leaving it without wiping? Or would I need to wipe and apply multiple coats, until I get the desired result?
Thank you.
Thank you - I would definitely wipe back or you may not like the look and it will take forever to dry. I would
Layer multiple coats (making sure you allow ample time in between)
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Awesome.. Thank you so much for your response.
Hi, I just took took paint off of a table and chairs. The white paint that was stripped off is embedded deep into the wood in areas. Want to stain it now, was told the stain would not adhere to thise areas. Wondering what this would look like on that. Its mostly the legs that have the residual white imbedded. What do you think?
Gorgeous
This is gorgeous!..have a white buffet that I want to do something different to the top..cannot wait to try! Have you ever lightly sanded the top or do you just go right over paint?? Want the driftwood look...
Thank you. Yes you can scuff sand your painted surface if you like, it’s not necessary but you can if you like , I always just apply over fresh paint
This is awesome! We just bought a new build home with white banisters and spindles. Do you think this would be fine for the banisters if I lightly sand them first (they're very shiny)? I want to stain them a pretty dark brown...
Yes. I would try a test section first if you can to ensure this is what you want!
Love this video very helpful! I have already painted my table top with a cream colored Behr Premium Satin cabinet paint. Will this stain work on that type of paint?
I’m so glad! So I haven’t done it over that particular paint, it should be ok, but I would suggest trying it with a test piece first if you can
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thanks!
Thank you for this! I have painted a kitchen table and chairs with a Sherwin Williams yellow and BB Frosch but have been struggling mightily with the look I want on the table top. The table had previously been stained white (about 25 years ago!) This is exactly what I am looking for! I've ordered the Fusion Stain and Finishing OIl. I'm hoping 4th time is a charm.
Awesome I am so glad! Thank you for watching and good luck with your project
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Is this something that you think would look good on MDF trim that I painted white? Overall I look the white look but I really wish I would've done a dark stain instead. I'm not sure how MDF board would work for stain either. I just built a house so I definitely have no plans in removing the trim and replacing. If it's not doable to stain the MDF board overtop the white paint then I'll just leave it as is.
@@yooper9062 So over MDF itself no - but if you use their ultra grip, paint it and then stain like I did in the video it will have good adhesion and be good to go!
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Great thank you for the reply!
it looks beautiful. is that kinda like gel stain?
Thank you - no, gel stain sit on top and doesn't penetrate, this will, its also thin like a normal stain and it has an open time of 10 min - so easy to manipulate - gel stain is not.
Can this be done to stair treads? If so, do you know what the wear and tear is for the stairs and the stain? Is this stain pretty durable for foot traffic? Thank you. :)
@@tammyjones9593 it can this profit once cured (10 days) it’s super durable - you can also add a topcoat for additional protection - but anytime you are talking floors and heavy traffic - wear and tear will come easier of course - check their website to learn more about the product
I have a white painted dresser with stains and nics on top of it.
Is it necessary to re-paint it white first, then use this stain over it? Or can I just use the stain on it to cover up the blemishes and small scratches it has on it?
I would suggest a fresh coat of paint the stain won’t cover the blemishes or scratches as it’s sheer
How do you do the drawers, if you want them the same?
Does this technique work with water stain?
Can you use this fusion stain product over a painted exterior door? Would love to stain my painted front doors.
Can you use it over house trim paint. I would love to put it on stairs. Would it work for me?
It’s best to use over fresh paint or you would want to scuff sand your current paint for better adhesion. I have never used over household paint, so I can’t say exactly how it will go, I would test an area or do a test board if you can
Hi. Love this channel! I am going to try this on my white dining room table. Two questions" 1. The original paint isn't Fusion Mineral Paint. I have no idea what it is. 2. Do I have to sand before applying Fusion Stain? Thanks!
Thank you so much! If you are staining over existing paint and don't know what it is I would at least scuff sand it in case there is any clear coat on it - if it was waxed it will not accept the oil based stain - just keep that in mind
Wow! This is beautiful. I’ve got a whitewash table that I want to modify to match my new kitchen; which has espresso cabinets. I love my table set. Part of the table is whitewash and the rest is not. Can I do this over the whitewash and make a shade darker than what you did? If so how? Thanks I’m advance
This works over fresh paint or bare wood best. You would want to scuff sand so that there is good adhesion any existing . If you want more detailed instruction - I would be happy to do a virtual one on one with you - you can reach out through my website www.borninabarnboutique.net
Thanks again for yet another great tutorial. You are indeed my go to for my desire to begin painting my old pieces of furniture. Kimberly, I know you answered another's question in regards to staining over paint. You said not necessary as it has a built in top coat. As you yourself usually top coat over fusion mineral paint on top of high traffic areas and the paint also has a built in top coat, I'm wondering if a top coat would still be beneficial over the stain and finishing oil? I'll be trying your technique on bedside tables and a dresser. Hoping you can assist. Cheers and thanks again for being so great at what you do.
Thank you! You can, but honestly it’s really not necessary. You could top with the natural SFO for a little extra sheen and more layers of protection.
Does it matter what color paint is underneath. I have raw silk but was wondering if I should use cathedral taupe to try and acheipve a oak type color with the sfo like you use
This came out amazing! What kind of paint did you use underneath?
Thank you - fusion mineral paint
If one coat gets your desired look then do you need to apply any layers of SFO in natural to get the durability if doing a dining room table? Also would the natural yellow over time?
I would suggest adding the natural for added durability - they say it can yellow over white. This is what they say about it - Please keep in mind that all oil based products typically yellow in time. Using this over top of a white paint, will cause a slight yellowing effect. We recommend our Tough Coat for going over lighter colours to avoid yellowing.
Can I use this over Sherwin latex semi gloss paint? I painted my kitchen cabinets a white color but I’m unhappy with how plain they are. I’d like to add a little depth and character to them with this! Thank you!
Well I have never used over latex paint, if you can I would test on an area. You want the stain to have something to grab onto - so try scuffing it up and then applying
What about the inside of the drawers? I saw some got paint on them. Do you just leave it or sand it off?
@@bellsquadvlogs9699 I never opened the drawers in the video so not sure what your referring to - but if there is ever paint on the drawers - I would absolutely remove - I like my pieces to be as new as possible when selling. So I clean everything 😀
What color would you recommend for a lighter bleached looking faux wood top WITH a bottom painted in Fusion Algonquin
@@deborahmullenix7546 I like tan wash or a whitewash for that. Fusion also just came out with a taupe stain that would be nice. I also love Lilly moon gel stains in hay bale (my curated color) or natural cork
Also the table I painted with CHAULK paint is like a grey blue color. What color stain should I use over that. Thx again!!
You can and I would suggest the driftwood it is a grey that would go nice over a blue grey paint color - they don’t have too many colors in the stain
Do you put any type of sealer on afterward?
@@cwmwcw you can but not necessary - it has a built in top coat and is very durable
I love this and want to recreate this look! I looked into ordering this exact product and there seems to be a bit of a wait time in when I’d receive it - a few weeks. Is there anything comparable that I can purchase from Home Depot or Lowe’s so that I can work on this now? The idea of waiting is killing me lol! Thank you in advance for the information!
@@emily8735 have you tried searching for retailers near you? There are a lot of fusion retailers. No there is no product like this at the big box stores - the advantage to this product is its 10 min open time (most stains are 30sec-2 min) making blending way easier. It also have a the topcoat built in
It is nice bit I'm wanting to do my old bathroom cabinets that are painted white I want to do them in a dark expresso brown is that possible?
Unfortunately in this formula they don't have a darker brown than the espresso - the key with this product is the open time - it is 10 min whereas normal stain is 2 min making it harder to apply and wipe back fast enough and get a good end result.You can certainly try it with traditional oil based stains - but I can't speak to that experience as I have not used it for this look
I saw product on Amazon..would expresso be good if I want a much darker stain over white table?? And if the paint has been on for awhile, do I paint it again or just sand
So other stains do have the same open time as this particular product (his has a 10 min open time) which allows to create this look very easy. You can try but know that other stains have a max open time of 2 min, making it harder to apply, wipe back and blend as easily. I have never done over paint that has been on for a while, so I can’t say, but I think it would be best to apply a fresh coat for best adhesion.
I like it! I have a kitchen table and I'm going to stain it with java gel stain, but the chairs have 2 wood seats and 2 white painted seats. I'm nervous as how this will turn out...
I wouldn’t recommend this technique with Java gel. It’s totally different than the stain I’m using here in the video (it’s thick and does not have an open time like this stain to work with).
Brilliant 😊
Hi where did you buy that stain? I want to do my kitchen cabinets that were painted white but I think I need another product over them first. Thank you
This always work best on a freshly painted surface - but you can use over previously painted if you clean and scuff sand them finely - the stain will need something to grab onto
Hi I got water based stain plus poly is that going to work on my front door with green color base paint?
So I have never used this stain over a stain or a stain wit poly in it. I would try a test section to see how it works together first. I’m not too sure it will adhere well as you are using a water based stain with poly and then applying the SFO (an oil based stain with built in top coat).
the furniture turns out so beautiful! What's the best choice for the paint to go with before staining? latex or acrylic? flat, chalk or glossy?
Water based acrylic, any of the furniture paints and a less glossy finish is best. Stay away from Latex for furniture, it will not adhere well and peel
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you! 😊
Looking for help. I have a bedroom set that was washed oak. I painted it antique white chalk paint 6 years ago. I’d like it to be a dark wood now. What can I do?
You could strip and sand to bare wood and stain, that will give you the truest look of a dark wood look Or you can paint it darker and then use the SFO in cappuccino over it
Do you think the result be similar over a flat white ceiling paint that I painted on as a primer?
It would be a bit brighter but still nice - the color I used was more creamy/taupe, this looks good over slot of base colors - do a test If you csn
Can I use another kind of a stain or does if have to be the kind you used?
Thank you for this great video. I want to do this to our end tables which are white, with the Fusion Driftwood. I am not sure what they were originally painted with, latex or oil base paint. I see that the Fusion is an oil based stain so can I still use it or is there a way of finding out what paint is on the end table's?
Thank you.
Thank you - It’s hard to tell what type of paint is on a piece. I would suggest scuffing it up just a tad to create good adhesion with the stain and give it a try, you never know sometimes u less you go for it! 😀
I have a light color dresser that has a light colored wood laminate. Can I just use gel stain over that? Or do I have to paint then gel stain?
So this is not a gel stain, this is an oil based stain and topcoat in one and will not sit well just on top of laminate, I would recommend painting first like I did here - you will have a better long-lasting outcome 😀
@@BorninaBarnBoutique do you think I can give it a weathered gray look with wax?
@@chandascorner possibly with a black wax you may be able to achieve that look over a light cool tone paint, see if you can do a little test piece to try it out
I have a wood antique step stool with the fold out steps that I’ve been working on for far too long. I’ve stripped, sanded, repeatedly. Could I instead paint it white and stain it the color I desire? Gel/liquid stain? I’ve come this far I don’t want to see this particular shade of green anymore & as you can imagine, with this piece there are a lot of corners.
Yes you absolutely can! I prefer the Fusion SFO, it has a longer open time to work with and for this look, it's all I have used so I can't speak to other stains. Water based stains absorb and dry pretty darn fast, making it hard to work (unless using water to activate and blend). Traditional oil based stains have an open time of 2-3 minutes, so you have to work quickly. The fusion stain has a 10 minute open time, thus being easier to work with
Beautiful 🤩 Do you need to put a shellac on top of the stain when finished to protect? Thanks.
No that’s the finishing oil part, it’s a top coat. This is a two for one product - stain and topcoat in one. I mention that in the video, super durable and no need for added topcoat.
Love that result!! Can you use the SFO over semigloss paint?
I haven't tried it over anything but fusion mineral paint. I would try a sample piece first, my concern would be its too slick being semi-gloss.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique That’s what I was worried about. Just finished a desk for my hubby a day before I saw your tutorial. Curses!!!
Thank you! Did you then seal it with anything?
No the Stain and Finishing Oil has a built in topcoat and is extremely durable - was made for flooring!
What color stain are you using. This is beautiful and I have recently started to restore furniture.
Hi thank you! I always put in the shoe notes if I forget to mention in the video! It is cappuccino!
Thanks. I recently just did a bedroom set. It looks so good. I don't know I was capable of doing that. Lol. Thanks for your tips
@@candicehall8156 that’s awesome I am so glad it worked well, yes we are our own hardest critic and typically underestimate what we can do! 👏🏻
I just painted my cabinets , they don't have to be perfect at all. But I was wondering if they could be stained after . They are a dark greenish , can I put a lighter stain on them to just tone down a bit?
So the stain won’t lighten overall when going over a dark color unfortunately - I’m not sure it would give you the look your going for - since stains are sheer - dark works over a light paint color - but putting a light stain over a dark paint wont give you the lighter look very much
Beautiful! Thank you for showing this. Question: what if you want a dark final look? Do you apply multiple coats?
Of course and thank you! Yes you would apply multiple coats of the stain - just make sure you yield the dry time in between coats
Good morning! Thanks for this great video which makes it look so easy with an amazing result! Quick question: 10 min open time, you apply and work it for 10 minutes and walk away! How long do you walk away for before you wipe it off? Thanks in advance.
Hi. It just means you have up to 10 min to work with and wipe it back before it sets, you can wipe back immediately if you want, you just don’t have to rush like most stains that need to be wiped back immediately. This is helpful when you are blending their stains as well as working to achieve a certain look.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks. Got you and thanks for clarifying. Have a super day. I truly enjoy your tutorials.
Well, I've done the first coat and loving the look! But I think I may have taken off too much. How long should I wait for a second coat?
At least 8 hours depending on your climate - I like to just wait until the next day to be sure it’s dry
@@BorninaBarnBoutique , thank you. Finished it today. Am very happy with it! Thank you so much for your help!
@@gwhaas6218 awesome! I’m so happy! You are so welcome
Thank for this video! I am very new (only 3 pieces for myself - not confident enuff to sell yet!) U explain so well and make it all look so easy! I want to do a grey washed wood look on top of an end table. - what color paint and stain do u suggest?
Thank you so much! I would suggest any white with Diftwood SFO over the top!
Thank you! ❤️
gorgeous
Thank you
After watching your video I was thinking about the white SFO over a robin egg blue paint. table top? kitchen cabinets? would love your opinion.
I think that would create a beautiful coastal/beachy as well as a french country vibe. I have used white over a blue similar and its very pretty.
Can you use that over any paint or only fushion mineral paint? It's beautiful! Thanks for the tips!
You can use over any paint! Thank you so much / thanks for watching!
Would this hold up in UV? Thinking about doing my front door like this instead of stripping it down to bare wood then staining.
So there are many exterior rated paints but I would check the Fusion mineral paint website on the specs of the stain.
Can i put a waterbase top coat over sfo? If so how long do I have to wait?
You can but it’s not necessary! It has a built in top coat and is extremely durable once cured, if you are going to add one, I would wait until cure time - 10 days. They suggest using their natural SFO over the top if you want added sheen
I painted with Dixie Bell mineral and used the Fusion on the top over it. It’s been about 18 hours and is a little sticky. I need to add more as I want it darker. Is it being sticky normal for a while?
Depending on what you layer over it and your weather conditions - it can take longer to dry. I have never experienced that, but have seen on many forums people have experienced this. I don't feel like its normal though since I have used this for years and never had issues (im in a dry climate) but after 8 hours I have always found it to be dry and good to go!
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you! I just started over. Going a different route. I’m learning slowly! 😂🤣😂
@@bettywarring2737 Good luck! 😀
