## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have used liquid wood in the past but the last time I ordered it, it was very runny.  Can this be applied over chalk paint instead?**
A: Absolutely! You can use this as a glaze as well :) 
Simply paint on and wipe back the excess.

**Q: Can I use this over existing varnish to darken a piece?**
A: Yes. Although my suggestion would be for not a piece that gets wear and tear like an eating table.

**Q: Can this serve as a top/final coat? Can I use Retique it wax to seal?**
A: Yes seal with wax

**Q: Is this food safe?**
A: Get in touch with Retique It … I used it on a fireplace mantle & can’t imagine it would be safe for food …

    Super easy and great results
  

*by T***5 on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023*

I do a lot of diy projects and this process was easy even if you’re a diy novice. The kit comes with an instruction card with QR code to watch a demo video so you’re fully prepared before starting. Follow the steps as outlined and you will be fine. The only thing i would add is that I had to recaulk because I scraped off the old gunk to have a clean surface to start my project. I caulked before adding my topcoat and would suggest doing it afterwards. Because I used a silicone based caulk (to protect against water, mold etc. especially around the faucet and sink) it doesn’t take the topcoat well. It beads up on top of the silicone, I simply just did not think about it before caulking. I would say caulk as your final step to be on the safe side. I used the pickled oak color, wanted to go for the butcher block look with my countertops. The stain has some gray undertones, I didn’t mind but something to consider for your overall look and finish. The stain and wood grain tool does add depth and gives the look and feel of real wood. My kitchen looks brand new for less than $200!

    AMAZING STUFF
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024*

I really love Retique It. I just used it on our dining table, benches and chairs. They turned out so great. The furniture actually looks more expensive since I used Retique It. I’m planning on using it on my vanities and on my kitchen counter. They have a countertop kit that is totally durable but also removable if need be. Kudos to this combat for making such innovative products that really do what they say they do!
