Always always learning something new from your videos! I’ve tried the GF milk paints like you recommended - LOVE them!!! Now I have to try this product to achieve this amazing finish! thank you for sharing!
I love your videos, they're all very helpful and informative. I did have a question: Does that stain and finishing oil have a strong odor? I guess I should add that I have used Minwax stain for staining as well as a glaze and it literally makes me sick to my stomach, so I'm hoping this product might be a little less overwhelming. Thank you.
It’s beautiful! Can I use this on my bookshelves? I painted them with cabinet and trim paint. They are a little stark next to another white piece I have which looks like it has a little gray in it.
So I can't speak to the adhesion with other paints (like a household or latex paint). I would suggest testing this out in a small area or even do a test on a side piece to see how it will pair together
For me this is the look that I want also, rather than using normal glazing method. How long did you have to wait before you sealed the entire piece & what did you use - or didn't you? Thanks for sharing!
Roz Hay hi. Thanks for watching. I used GF Milk paint which is self sealing/built in topcoat. So I didn’t add an additional top coat - with this product you don’t need to seal first so it will work well. I waited 48 hours after painting to do this technique
@@BorninaBarnBoutique I'm confused. Above you said you used Fusion mineral paint and in this comment you said you used GF Milk paint. What did you use for the dresser that you put the stain over? Thanks!
@@erinboyle4971 I used General finishes milk paint for the base color and the “glaze” I used fusion mineral paint brans - their stain and finishing oil - it’s a stain and topcoat in one - fusion makes paints and stains 😀
Thank you so much! Yes me too! No you don't need to, it glides on so nicely - I used over GF milk paint which does have a built in sealer, but the SFO provides additional durability as well since it has a topcoat built into it.
I have a painting project that I am totally clueless how to finish. Can you offer suggestions? Or maybe know of a Facebook painting group that could offer ideas? Thank you, I love your videos!
Thank you. I do one ones virtually - I can help you. There is also a FB group chalk painted and Upcycle did furniture but it’s hard to get step by step instructions and detailed help in groups sometimes.

I used a paint with a topcoat in it so I did not add an additional topcoat before or after. You can if you want to though add one before. This stain that I used as a glaze also has a built in topcoat and is oil based so you would not want to topcoat after you “glaze”.
Thanks for that! I was wondering about glaze so I'm happy to see this. Do you think that this glaze could be used over a stain on raw wood? Or does it need to be over paint? I was looking for something to replace black wax on a weathered wood project and I was thinking maybe paint or glaze to get a similar effect.
Liz Alford of course. Because this is actually a stain not a glaze absolutely you can use this on raw wood I do it all the time - that is what it’s intended for. This would work awesome for what your talking about it.
I used white stain and finishing oil over Limestone I had painted on chairs, just wanting a little more sheen and protection. I wish I had seen the idea of the shop towels/mineral spirits before I started. I used a pad to apply and wipe off the sfo, but it's been three days and the chairs are still tacky. I think I must have left too much product on unintentionally (there are a lot of turnings on the chair posts, and that's where it's the most tacky). Can I try the mineral spirits wipe down at this point, or do I have to start over? I still need to re-weave the seats of the chairs and need to finish this up for my customer. Help, please!
So SFO can remain tacky for a few reasons- if the products was applied too heavy, not wiped enough and your climate. The issue is your past the open time of wiping back and could possibly lift some of the paint if you try and wipe down with mineral spirits. You may end up removing spots of the finish leaving the finish looking uneven. When I do this process - the product hasn’t even set up yet, it’s still wet. My suggestion is let it dry, see how it looks and then if necessary lightly sand back any drips or runs and lightly apply more SFO to match the rest of the finish.
They advise on their website that it can over whites. I have used over light grey and been fine. But I would be leery to use it over white as a top coat or anything unless you are going for a stained look or one in which a little yellowing won't affect the look of your piece. What I did here ebony over a color or cappuccino over a color will not, but I am wiping back most of the product and not using as a solid topcoat
No its not waterproof - water resistant - unless you use a marine varnish or epoxy you aren't going to get waterproof. As for scratch resistant - it won't scratch easily, but with any product your put on furniture it is not impervious to scratching if you drag something across it, lean up against it with a sharp object, etc.
Hi wow, what a gorgeous piece. Awesome job.
Traci Ramirez thank you so much 😀
WOW!! You did such an amazing job on this beautiful piece!! Wow! Wow! Wow!!
Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, sooo informative, I now have the confidence to proceed with using this product. Love the results!!
Thank you so much! Good luck and happy painting 😀
This looks beautiful and easy to do. Thanks for sharing.
Bahama Mama thank you and yes it is pretty simple to do! Of course
This is so pretty. Thank you for the instruction.
Thank you so much
Great job
Lovely!
Did you apply any top coat before applying glaze?

Diane Alves hi there! I’m so glad, thank you for watching and sharing your feedback! Yes I love my GF paint! You will love it too!

Thank you so much! No I don’t feel like it does, but everyone is different. I don’t think it’s overwhelming at all.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Great, sounds like something I should be able to use. Thanks a lot!
Looks beautiful! I love how the detail pops with the glaze.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video. Can I apply this glaze (and the mineral spirits) to a piece that is painted with latex paint?
You are welcome - I haven’t tried that - I’m not sure how the products will work together - I would suggest trying a test area before going g all in
Can you put this on raw wood and wipe off also? Will it stay in the wood grain?
Yes absolutely
It’s beautiful! Can I use this on my bookshelves? I painted them with cabinet and trim paint. They are a little stark next to another white piece I have which looks like it has a little gray in it.

@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you, I have painted an extra shelf for the bookshelf that I don’t use. I will try that first.
@@DebbieRodgers-jm8nj perfect - good luck! 🤞🏻
Lovely piece. Can the Fusion product go over GF High performance poly water base top coat?
It can I would recommend scuff sanding to ensure good adhesion anytime you are painting over a top coated piece
What did you paint the piece with before glazing ? Gloss white, flat white ?
Its a mineral paint, Fusion Mineral Paint - it has a matte finish
For me this is the look that I want also, rather than using normal glazing method. How long did you have to wait before you sealed the entire piece & what did you use - or didn't you? Thanks for sharing!

Great job and helpful video. Love this product. Do you topcoat with anything or leave it as is after putting on the stain and finishing oil

Beautiful job! 💗 Thank you! Is it best to use this product before or after stenciling since it is oil based?
I personally don’t use stencils, so I don’t have a lot of experience with them, but I would say afterwards!
Hi there did you use a top coat before you stained? & after you stained? Thanks for sharing

Do you think this would work well over cured GF milk paint and also over cured flat out flat topcoat?
I have used over satin but never the flat out flat, it may not wipe off as easy, but then again with the mineral spirits it may work just fine.
Do you still get the protection of the top coat when you take so much off ??
Not as much as if you left it solid - but I use a paint and topcoat in one or topcoat my piece prior to add this.
Is your stain and paint waterbased?
The paint is water based and the stain is oil based
Can you tell me what paint color you used
Absolutely! I used General Finishes Seagull Grey
Will the SFO cause yellowing/

@@BorninaBarnBoutique okay thank you! I’ve been looking for something to put on my cabinets I just stained to make it scratch & water resistant !
