...I used this for years,...( I have been painting and re- doing Furniture, long before it became " A Business " - 33+ years ) .. The thing with this Product, you have to often give it a second pass... let dry. Then use the Howard's " Feed n Wax " afterwards. Also,on some pieces, ..its advisable to lightly sand before using this Product, so it has a better " adhesion factor."

Hello Shannon, Many years ago I was a painter for my city. When tasked with painting metal doors, I used both roller and brush, after prepping the surface I would mix an oil based enamel paint with a little thinner and roll it on thin and wait a minute or two and then go in with the brush making one stroke from end to end continuing the width of the door and when I was done, it looked like I sprayed the door. Maybe this will be of help.

Easy to see the brush marks. If you spray well consider spraying. People will complain about the brush marks. I believe this paint dries to quickly as even roller texture is visible.

Thank you, Shannon. You are so kind for sharing the things you know. I am one of your avid followers.

Interesting,. I never rolled or brushed. Strictly lacquer spray colors. It used to be that you needed a huge compressor for it, but so many field turbines, have now turned into full time uses for shops. You can get really nice ones for $500 or less. Once you spray you will never go back. best of luck. It's all with experience and lots of learning curves. Don't get discouraged. You will find your happy place in no time

What are the drybrush colors you use and in what sheen? You do an amazing job and thank you for sharing your talent ❤

I'm a professional cabinet painter and I use advance. Advance is a hybrid product. Advance is self leveling. Never dry roll ma'am. This video was a hot mess from start to finish. Your close ups had trash in the paint. Always strain your paint and use a tack cloth as your final wipe before applying finish. And FYI, you should research your products before filming because with advance you are suppose to wait 16 hours between coats. This paint dries from the inside out. With advance, those bubbles would have disappeared. Advance self levels. Who ever told you to dry roll is an idiot. That's where all your trash is coming from.

Curious as to why you used a semi gloss

Why are you spraying tops with shellac in the opening part of video? The top was all sanded down. ( Im not asking about the later part, i understand there about the sanding then spray to make it even in finish. ) Im just confused why you showed the spraying of shellac on a sanded dresser in opening intro. Are we supposed the start everything with shellac spray first?

Rustoleum no longer makes decorative glaze in Java brown. They have a chalked glaze will this work the same?

It’s been a good 6 hours and the gel stain is tacky. How soon after can I reapply

Did you do any sanding on this piece? Pretty sure you have a Malm IKEA dresser.

Beautiful piece ❤

I’m trying to incorporate an Older Thomasville tower (real wood) and new Murphy bed which looks like it has an IKEA finish. Once I sand and primed the wood cabinet. Could I use the same technique on both? Thanks in advance 😊

Thank you so much for sharing! I love that you are so generous with what you have learned along the way. I am actively trying this style right now. My base layer is currently drying and I am impatiently waiting to apply the glaze! 😊 I haven’t been able to find that crevice cleaning tool/brush. Where did you get that?

Why did you paint before applying gel stain?

I'm glad I found your channel. I've been paying$25-$35 quart for Heirloom Paint Traditions and I'm going broke lol! I learned from your other video how they make it! And learning how to properly paint furniture! Thank you!

Wow dog cute ❤

I did it! After months of watching, then several weeks of staring at a half- painted nightstand, I finally attempted the PB wood look following your instructions! Used Open Cyn and Brown stain, I was in awe after one swipe with my deck brush! Wow! Why did I delay so long! Thank you for being fearless and creating this method!!

Spray!!!

DO YOU KNOW that HOME DEPOT online, when searching for the glaze, has ALL the other items needed for this finish in their 'Suggestions' right below! You have arrived! 🎉 Congrats! ❤❤❤

I love watching your videos. Thank you. One question. Which one do you prefer - Valspar or Sherwin Williams for streak free finishes with dark colors?

Love it

In 3 can you show how you apply your top coat. I've watched 1 and 2 repeatedly and I did nightstands and they turned out great. I'm just waiting for them to dry and do the dry brush

I will try this but do the aggressive, hard with the brush and take as much stain possible, then soften everything at the end with those green soft rollers.

Can you share the soundtrack or music list?

Beautiful!

Thank you! Just got a used dresser and found your video to be a big help!

Great video! I don’t want to buy a sprayer and this worked beautifully. Thanks!

I want to do this pottery barn finish on a wooden Zgalerie dining table but I will be putting it out on my covered pool area. What do to apply to preserve paint and table.

well dear , you messed up with that cheapo walmart brush ... get you a Corona or Purdy brush for starters ..... tools matter a LOT ...... However I commend you on your honesty , a lot of these youtubers show their "finished work" from 5 feet away , hiding the orange peel and brush strokes ..... You are an honest youtuber , thank you for that ..... Here's how I did it - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9B7hZii35-dp5c.html

Beautiful Beautiful.

LOVED THIS! Would this work on a shiny coffee table? Should I sand first?

Um, no drop cloth under your work?!

Brush and roll is what I like the best. Your close-ups were incredibly well done. Great vid.

Thanks

THANK YOU for these tutorials! I have tried and tried this technique and could not get it down until I saw your videos.

Question. From what I understood from the video. If I didn't like the way my glasses came out and color. I don't need to strip it down and sand. I can simply repaint it and add the glaze again?

Gorgeous! Black Beauty! 🖤

I tried this but it looks a bit streaky. Does it matter if you use a water or oil based glaze? Also, I live in Texas and it's a bit humid and hot. Could that cause this? Not sure what I did wrong. I primed. Painted a beige color. Then I used the glaze with a bit of water spread it out with a brush then used the sponge. I waited a few seconds before using the sponge as it was it was taking most of the glaze off. Any tips?

WHY would you NOT remove the hardware before using the product?? 🤨 Especially since you said it was 'so old' family heirloom.

How do you clean items after using? I'm thinking about doing this on a hardwood floor. My concern would be cleaning and having the product come right off.

How come the briarsmoke I looked up it shows it’s brown how did you get it to look so brown

too much talk.

Seems like a lot of work

Looks great! Giving it a go on my beat up family room desk. I notice you paint and glaze with drawers in place. Any hints for keeping drawers from sticking?

I’m new to painting. Do you only apply the top coat to the top? Not the sides or legs?

Yes its french : peau de chamois ... you said it right CHAMOIS🎉

Your technique is 99.9 but remember to get your roller foam damp before use paint lays perfect

I want to try this on a dresser that is already painted a light grey. Do I need to prime it or can I go straight in with the rugged tan paint?
