I wanted to refinish my black wooden furniture to a light blondish grey. In order to try it out, we purchased a look-alike occasional table to try the product and technique out. When I stripped down the paint, I discovered the little table was made with a particle board top! But I decided to go ahead and use the product anyway. It looks fabulous! And has given me the courage to go ahead with my bigger furniture!

@Mandy-nt2cs Жыл бұрын

Wow, it worked on particle board?!was it these exact products that you used? Or a different technique?

This is an idea from about 20 years ago in the UK. Everyone was doing it. The thing is people were not coating their tops in a heat-resistant top coat, destroying their benches.

We use a few glass or wood cutting boards around the stone and other places to protect out counter tops,this is why we never have burns or cuts,I strongly suggest this with any treatment on your counter tops,as well as you can also apply a light wax once in a while,this will help objects slide easily and cut down on wear and tear !

I did a faux green granite surface from a Rustoleum kit. It looked great, but I did not know how important the multi-layers of top clear sealant were. I only did one 🥺🥴 I now have huge blothes where the original surface shows through. One blotch was from an onion that decomposed on the surface. Others were from hot pans and the edge in front of the sink got whittled away from the zipper on my pants brushing against it. So...do many layers of top clear sealant! 🤗👍🥳

I did this on a beige bedskirt for my son's bed! It's been several years...so let's see if I remember how I did it. I layed out a heavy duty piece of aluminum foil and painted it brown ...musta been with a slow drying paint. Then came through it, with the wood grain tool. While it was wet I flipped it over onto the bedskirt and rubbed. It looks awesome!!

I'm super curious how this has held up over the 9 months!! I have seen many videos of people who use polycrylic as a top coat and that doesn't work over the long haul. The epoxy tops have their own issues too. And other brands of countertop finishes aren't impressive over time either. How is this working for you?
