New and Improved Formula Liquid Wood Coatings - Stainable Primer - Paint It then Stain it (Light Wood, Large)

Used this product on a set of white painted nightstands. They were already rough (intentionally) and had a hand hewn look which I loved. I just wanted them to look like stained wood. Was afraid stripping the paint would take away most of the rustic look so I opted to give this product a try. It was very easy to apply-I used the dark wood. Used an old scrub brush to create graining after each coat. Used a gel stain-applied with a cloth and again used the scrub brush for more texture. Only one coat of stain was needed. Applied a matte poly and they look great. Side note-stain application was darker on one so I just recovered with the product and restained and it worked beautifully. Won’t hesitate to use again.

Did work in our bathroom. Left it looking a mess. Tried to reapply. Didn't work. Waste of money

Great product if you have the patience. Redid the doors in my kitchen and it came out awesome. Best thing is prepping. Use a degreaser and get them really clean. 6 months later, no scratching or chipping. Working awesome!

Love this stuff! Easy to refinish desk and make it look like brand new wood desk! This is the second thing i have refinished with retique it. I took an old lawyers desk, after years of damage, when I sanded it, it didnt look right, so I tried this and it looks like real wood! I did the light wood and then stained it and it looks amazing! Use their stains as i first tried another one and it didnt work well. I bought their tools to give it the grain and it was easy to use. Watch the videos and follow the directions. Easy peasy!

Retique It Liquid Wood is truly amazing. No sanding involved. I painted right over my bathroom cabinets and then used a gel stain. Love this product!!!

I'm redoing kitchen cabinets in a rental some cabinets are good others I replaced with unfinished. The existing ones were painted black over the original builders brown/red/oak finish, which I stripped with CitrusStrip. And it works pretty well,.. but you can't get the old to match the new unfinished,.. so the plan was to prime the old with Retique It. I ordered it on Amazon and even signed up for Prime to get it the next day, so I could use it over the weekend. After several days of updates saying it would arrive in this 3 hour time slot,.. it finally arrived 4 days late. I went to use the Retique It today,.. opened it and found about 2" of liquid on top of a solid mass of rubber gunk. Checked AI and it said,.. it's not supposed to come that way,... because it's a little harder to paint on a brick,... AI said it was either defective from the manufacturer or it sat in frozen weather for a period of time during shipping. Regardless,.. the whole thing was a shyteshow. I'm returning it. I'll just use a gel stain on the cabinets and hope the different substrates it's going over don't broadcast through.

The liquid wood in the dark blend has a peachy undertone that is not easily covered. Created a beautiful faux wood look over laminate covered particle board...but...this dark wood stain has a heavy peach undertone. I used three coats of Retique It to cover a particle board trim that is covered with laminate. On the third coat I created the wood grain. That wood grain looks amazing, but I cannot get rid of the peach no matter what color stain I apply. I am attempting to produce a dark-wood-stained look using Varathane's Kona tint. The manufacturer recommends the Varathane (non-penetrating) oil-based stain to go over the Retique It base. I bought the Varathane in the Kona which looks amazing on natural wood, but it looks horrid over the Retique It. All this peachy color comes through and I can't even get the Varathane Kona Gel to cover it. It's awful. I have this beautiful faux wood grain that feels like wood, but nothing I'm using is masking that ugly peach. I could try to go with the Light (Beechwood) Retique It, but at these prices, I'm not sure about throwing more money at this product. I could end up with a worse result and another jar of latex paint I can't use on anything. Retique It produces a nice base coat, nice wood texture, and the graining looks great, but that peach is ugly and impossible to cover. Pics below: the first two are pics of the Varathane Oil-based Wood Stain in Kona. The third is the result of the Varathane Gel Stain in Kona. At this point I am unable to eliminate the peachy undertone. Not sure how to proceed?

When I received my package it had leaked through the plastic and made a mess everywhere. When I opened it up the paint inside seemed to be all messed but once I mixed it all together it went back into the consistency it’s supposed to be. It ended up working great I used two coats on my bathroom vanity and then applied two coats of Kona gel stain.
