"RETIQUE IT" - How to create a wood top on almost any piece of furniture

TUTORIAL - So you've sanded down to what you thought would be nice raw wood only to dreadfully discover laminate under all those paint layers! Now what? Sure you can go ahead and repaint it, that's one option. But what if you were really hoping for a wood top piece? This is exactly what happened to me and I my searching I found a product called "Retique It". I gave it a try and this is what I learned along the way...

Thank you for sharing your experience... We noticed you are using penetrating stains on liquid wood. It's great that it worked out but we don't recommend penetrating stains. We suggest using a Gel Stain or Varathane fast dry premium stains for best results.

Stains ( oil base or solvent type) first seal then a gel stain.

This was exactly what I was looking for ! Thank you for doing this video. I want to turn plain off-white bathroom cabinets/drawers into a gray driftwood looking finish.

Oh cool! Have to let us know how it goes! I've never used on cupboards.

[@meganharrington9755]

I believe you’re supposed to use non-penetrating stains on that liquid wood paint

[@bailey3120]

That’s so pretty

It looked so much better before using the graining tool. I am planning to redo our master bath and will use the retique it but no graining tool.

I used a vinyl peel and stick wood grain wallpaper. It's like wrapping a car except you're wrapping the top of a plastic table. Easier application and less expensive.

[@brushstrokesfineartllc1208]

Hello, how come you dont show painting cabinets while still up in the kitchen?

[@youllthinkofme2011]

it clearly states NOT to use penetrating stain...

[@randallalderman2260]

So youre supposed to roll the graining tool from one edge to the other, as you drag across the surface ? Also I wonder if you turned the tool 180 degrees and drag in the same direction, would it be easier to create a natural wood grain appearance.

[@erikabrewer8244]

I was talking into my phone telling her to turn as she glide the tool, but she couldn't hear me lol.

Mine was horrible! It was so clumpy and I stirred until my hand and arm almost feel off and the lumps never came out! I still put on and sanded lumps but it did not cover my patches like I had hoped and why I bought The product. I’ve Sense read many other reviews on this same issue. So disappointing and expensive!

[@TrueBlueStablesLLC]

Did you contact the company? I didn't have this problem...but that would be frustrating!

[@aimeeh1764]

I had to pour mine into a different container so I could mix it well. The container it came in wasn't big enough. I was able to use a stir stick and get all the clumps out.

[@JasonXBeats]

So I guess I’d be good with varathane penetrating wood stain?

[@andrewdelodance7864]

as long as you use the gel stain. Not the penetrating stain in the video.

[@jewelbell5]

It looks splotchy bc you didn't read the instructions and used the wrong stain.

[@melissamarin447]

You did not have to use a poly?

[@MyFlippingLifewithRetiqueIt]

You should use a poly to protect it.

[@TrueBlueStablesLLC]

Yes I sealed it with polyurethane
