Review: I have tried a lot of products trying to get a true "red". This product gave a great color, that did not fade on pine. Easy to apply (wear gloves) dries quickly. A little went a long way.
Review: This stuff is super easy to use! I made a wizard staff out of a sanded stick. I mixed it with water using a ratio I found via Google. It's simple to adjust if you want more or less color saturation. Once it was dry I sprayed clear coat on it and it looks great. I ordered some of this company's other colors cuz this one was so nice. Absolutely recommend!
