Hi, I agree there should be more and detailed information about Retique it! I've used this product and before I purchased it, I researched it like crazy! It's expensive and I didnt want to waste money on something that wasn't worth it! There is a bit of a learning curve and the best thing to do it practice on a scrap piece of wood. The only thing I hated about that was, you have to waste it to learn how to properly learn to use the graining tool and this stuff isn't cheap! There are a lot of youtube videos about this product. You're also supposed to let it completely dry for at least 2 hours in between coats or you can use a blowdryer to dry it faster. When the first coat is dry, sand it with a fine grit sandpaper before applying another coat of the liquid wood. Also, you should of gotten a pamphlet with your liquid wood. I've ordered it on Amazon and the companies website and always got a pamphlet with it with directions on how to use it. You can also go to their website and call them with any problems. I'm not affiliated with them at all, just wanted to share some things I've learned. Hope this helps.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s always frustrating when companies don’t give you all the information you need. I agree it’s too expensive to do a lot of testing. I have the graining tool but I wanted a modern look. I will have to try the tool another time.
Afternoon! Yup, if you use a foam brush or roller on your next experiment- curve your edges of the roller, load 2/3rds of the roller, over lap the passes and pull the layer straight across in one pass. Practice on scrap is amazing for getting the look you want. It drys fast but it has some working time. That stuff looks a lot like the paints they used on old compressed sawdust doll parts. Wild stuff, it fixes soooo much and works fabulous on kitchen/bathroom cabinets to get them looking fresh and lovely.
I think that it is going to be beautiful. I might have to give retique it! Thanks for trying this out I have heard about it and was wondering what it did.
Have you seen the dining tables with the really thick bumpy TOPs ??? what is that and or how to get that on a wood dining table like I saw on a Ashley table????
I used this product 2 times. Both times I got very small clumps in the paint. I shook and stirred for a verrrry long time and both times it came out with little clumps
I’ve used Retique It recently and noticed in my climate it dried very quickly. So around the jar there was dried product that was falling in the jar. I just had to pick them out. I missed a few tiny pieces but it worked out and just made the piece look a bit rustic which I’m ok with.
Went over to Amazon to watch the merchant videos. I'll wait to see how Uncle Amal turns out. I am concerned about your rash. I have environmental allergies also. How did you decide which color go purchase and how much product was used?
I was surprised by the rash but I shouldn’t have been. If I pick up birch the same thing happens so when it said made from recycled wood, I should have taken precautions. I will wear gloves when I use it again. I knew I wanted a dark stain so I picked dark wood. If I wanted a light stain I would pick light wood.
I usually start with an 80 if I need to remove scratches. I use a 120 to smooth things out. 120 can also be used to sand away old varnish and prepare a surface for paint.
Oh! I have one. It was personal preference. I wanted a modern look. I will be trying the graining tool on future projects. I just wanted a cleaner, modern look.
I feel you. It’s not my go to but it I have a stubborn stain that I don’t want to bleach out I would use it. And I just used it on a laminate piece so I could give a customer a distressed look.

I’m seeing so many possibilities for this stuff. I will do what you suggest with the roller next time. It’s kind cool.

I’ve been wanting to try it for some time. I’m glad I did. I’m seeing possibilities.
Love, Love it!!!
Thank you!!🙏🏻

Yeah I have. They’re different. They’re for people that want a more rustic look.
I used this product 2 times. Both times I got very small clumps in the paint. I shook and stirred for a verrrry long time and both times it came out with little clumps
I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder if it clumps if it gets old?

What grit sandpaper did you use?

How come you didn’t use the scraper
I’m not sure what you’re talking about
@@JunkinwithStacy I forgot what it’s called the thing they use to do the lines in the paint.
They call it a graining tool. There's a kit they sell with all things needed for the look.
Oh! I have one. It was personal preference. I wanted a modern look. I will be trying the graining tool on future projects. I just wanted a cleaner, modern look.
I think your going to make Uncle Ameal proud. Can't wait to see it finished.
🙏🏻 Thank you!
I just finished using this on a piece. I don't know....
I feel you. It’s not my go to but it I have a stubborn stain that I don’t want to bleach out I would use it. And I just used it on a laminate piece so I could give a customer a distressed look.
Think I would have tried a small foam roller to put it on. Might have kept you from sanding and not have the ridge on it... maybe anyway.
Yeah I think next time I will try it. I wanted to follow the directions this time. After that I do it my way. 🤣
Then you wouldn't have the grain lines.
Looking good, hope your rash went away.
Thank you. Yes I hit it with some Benadryl cream and it went away. Same thing happens if I pick up birch so I just have to remember to wear gloves.
There's tons of videos on how to apply this product.
From the company? I’ll have to check it out. They had none when this video was made. Thanks for letting me know.
