Retique It Wood Finish Multi-Purpose Kit – Go Beyond Faux Wood Including Paintable Liquid Wood Based Primer, Gel Stain - Graining Tools Included (2X 8oz, Pickled Oak)

Follow instructions and take your time! This is a good product that truly transforms!! Durable wood finish that makes unsightly pieces new again for very little cost!

Love love love this stuff!! Way easier than I thought it would be. Prior experience with painting recommended if using for large scale projects, but get some! Try it out! Gave my fireplace mantle new life and a little goes a long way!

I ordered this product in the pickled oak. The product does not look anything like the swatch. It's basically beige paint. Unfortunately I was unable to start my project with in the return window to due to weather. So disappointed., should receive zero stars

I used this to transform a fake light wood countertop into darker wood. It was my first time, so it was an adventure. The product itself works great and really does look like wood. One mistake I made (user error) was using painter tape, which ended pulling up some of the paint that was already so perfect. :( But I was able to patch up those spots, and it just made the wood look a little more rustic and reclaimed. Next time, I'll forgo any taping off, because it's water-based and I can just clean up anything it touches with just a wet paper towel or Q-tip (which I ended still needing to do anyway). I did also buy a top coat for a little more sheen and protection. Not sure it needed it, as a top coat is built in to the product, but since I'll be placing things directly on top of it and moving stuff around, I wanted it to be a little more protected.

I absolutely love this product! You definitely have to practice application process. But I love how my tables turned out. They are all different but to me adds character! Dries fast with blow dryer. I done 2 coats of the wood primer for the most effective coverage.

Oh my goodness … YES! I wanted a wood mantel when we moved into our builder grade new build. So when I say everything was white, everything was white. It was so easy to do, and the instructions were simple to follow. The brush they supply was perfect and so nice to have. When I applied the last step which was the stain gel, even the small imperfect sweeps of my brush just added to the uniqueness of the project and made it more wood like. There is no smell associated with this type of paint, stain treatment so I was able to do it with my kids playing close by and without opening windows. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to get a wood finish. It is so much easier and more cost effective than refinishing something with actual wood. I did choose to do without the graining tool to get a more brush finish. We will definitely be utilizing this again for our wood accents

Used as directed, cleaned table by degreasing it let dry then proceeded with 2 coats allowing to dry in between then did two coats of stain allowing 1st coat to dry over night then applied second coat allowed to dry then put two coats protective finish. Three days of not using the table had a dinner with family and these chips are everywhere. Will sand clean and start over I guess or scrap my table all together

Loved everything except the brush! We wanted to give our builder-grade mantel a little more charm, and overall we were really happy with the results. On my first attempt, the brush that came with the kit didn’t spread the stain very far, and I wasn’t loving how it looked. I ended up repainting everything with the primer and bought a firmer stain brush from Home Depot instead. That made a huge difference! It was much easier to create the long, even strokes recommended in the directions. I’m a little bummed that I wasted product on the first attempt, but overall I really liked both the primer and stain.
