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

This product is amazing. It really works.just gets their entire system. It’s so much easier. BUY THE PRODUCTS FROM RETIQUE IT DIRECTLY The products from Amazon have color variations because of long storage or exposure to heat and it caused a lot more work for me - as the light Wood primer from Amazon was more gray and dark so had to do those pieces all over again. The products I get directly from the company are amazing.

Easy to use! Waited 2 hours to dry before adding a second layer on the large dresser and used the hairdryer to dry the nightstands for 15min between coats. Sanded and stained beautifully. This does have a strong odor so I would recommend using outdoors but I will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

DO NOT BUY! They must have changed the formula because this bottle I just bought was significantly more runny and is very watered down. There are tons of bubbles and it doesn’t match the last bottle I bought. The color and coverage doesn’t look the same. I had done two coats with a previous bottle I purchased and ran out with just one coat on the other piece of wood. You can see a huge difference in color and coverage. The wood on the left has two coats from the bottle I had bought previously and the wood on the right has one coat of the bottle I used on the left and one coat from this new formula. Very disappointed considering the price point!

Made our painted white mantle look exactly like wood. Stain worked well over it

Best paint I’ve ever used! It completely transformed my cabinets and made me love my kitchen again! The only downside I found was how poorly it is packaged. I ordered it 3 times & all three times it came busted. The third time I gave up & just used it. It was still good, but I was frustrated that the company blamed Amazon, when it was just the fact that it comes in a cheap plastic container with a screw on lid that comes off with ease. You MUST follow instructions and clean the cabinets first! I used this paint with their stain. It is simple to use, though! No sanding required! Something to consider: Ventilation is super important! This stuff is strong!

Great product, a little goes a long way

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?

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.
