Retique It Black Walnut Water-Based Gel Stain/Paint/Glaze Hybrid (8 oz.)

paul riggspaul riggs: I loved this kit. It was just enough coverage for what we needed it for. The 8oz kit did this and a larger portion upstairs as well. Really good coverage, super easy to use, incredible results that I could not be happier with!! I did add two coats of polyacrylic on top because kids but other than that the kit contained everything I needed and if I ever need to do something like this again I will be back for this product hands down.

Akygirl: This was very easy to apply and results are great! However, I used this on my 6 place setting table and was scraping the bottom of the jars because it was barely enough to finish the job. I got by but wish I had just a little more so I wouldn’t have had to skimp on the primer layer. Other than that, I loved this kit and plan on purchasing more. The seller was great to work with, I had originally requested a refund I had decided not to use the kit, and they gratefully obliged, but I decided I would try it anyway and so glad I did! Just make the jars a bit bigger and it would be perfect!

Tyne05Tyne05: I do a lot of diy projects and this process was easy even if you’re a diy novice. The kit comes with an instruction card with QR code to watch a demo video so you’re fully prepared before starting. Follow the steps as outlined and you will be fine. The only thing i would add is that I had to recaulk because I scraped off the old gunk to have a clean surface to start my project. I caulked before adding my topcoat and would suggest doing it afterwards. Because I used a silicone based caulk (to protect against water, mold etc. especially around the faucet and sink) it doesn’t take the topcoat well. It beads up on top of the silicone, I simply just did not think about it before caulking. I would say caulk as your final step to be on the safe side. I used the pickled oak color, wanted to go for the butcher block look with my countertops. The stain has some gray undertones, I didn’t mind but something to consider for your overall look and finish. The stain and wood grain tool does add depth and gives the look and feel of real wood. My kitchen looks brand new for less than $200!
