Steve KorbaySteve Korbay: This was the first time using this product and I was not disappointed. Simply apply with a flat paint pad and coat all surfaces. Let dry and apply a topcoat of your choice. If you want it darker, lightly sand in between with 220 and apply a second coat.

Bruce Regittko: This product will certainly turn new pine lumber a light to dark gray, imitating an aged appearance. However, the darker it is, the less it looked aged and the more it looked bruised, with a grayish, purple color.

I used this on a pine bookcase that I built to look like it was old, and put together by an inebriated monkey, per my wife's wishes. To age it, I roughed it up a bit with some scratches and gouges, and then used the product. I followed the instructions and used one coat on the entire bookcase. I watched it go from white/yellow, to light gray (which I wanted), to a medium gray. My wife was satisfied, yet I was a bit disappointed. Out of curiosity, I used 2 coats on a scrap piece and the wood turned a very dark purplish gray.

If I were to use this again, I may try to thin it with water and test on a scrap piece.

One plus, after I applied the product, the next day it was dry and there was no odor. Going on, there was a slight odor, but to me, it was no unpleasant.

Linda Gray: like everything about it, I used it on my kitchen cabinets an they look beautiful, lots of complements. The only problem that arose was it changed some when I put polyurathane on it.

karen johnsonkaren johnson: Excellent product, water based and easy to put on. It took 24 hours for the wood to fully change color, I stained some old knotty pine after I planed the old varnish off. Turned out beautifully.

ChristinaChristina: I absolutely love this product. I have been looking for a stain to make beachwood and barnwood style wood for a few years. I am currently renovating my house and I used this on the crates I'm hanging for storage in my mud room. Above is the crates before and after, this is only after one coat. Second coat usually gets rid of any of the natural browns left after staining. You can make the piece of wood look grey if you keep applying. In the pics, it looks like there is a blue hue, I think it's the lighting because in person it is a rich grey/beige color. I cannot sing my praises enough for this product. It is worth every penny, especially if you're working on rustic, farmhouse looking pieces. I cannot recommend this product enough. Seller got the item to me quickly, it was very well packaged with clips on lid and a safety bag around it. I am a very satisfied customer and I will be buying this again. I hope this helps someone looking for the mixed, aged wood look.
