Paint on a layer of wood. No sanding and no striping. Retique It will work on virtually any hard surface, and even right over painted surfaces. As long as you remove any grease or wax and wipe down the surface, Retique it will go on flawlessly giving you a new unfinished wood surface ready for staining!
Allow Retique It to dry for 2 hours, then you can stain the surface with virtually any brand and color stain. Paint your stain on thick and pull the lines through or wipe it on with a staining pad to show more of a rustic wood finish. You are the artist and this is your canvas!
Apply the top coat of your choice or use our Retique It Polyacrylic to protect your piece and give it the level of sheen you desire. Retique It works beautifully with a satin, semi-gloss or high gloss polyurethane or Polycrylic finish. You are in the drivers seat. This piece can be whatever you want!
Retique It® is a patent pending, revolutionary new product which makes virtually any hard surface stainable without having to strip off the old finish. The surface will become like bare wood because Retique It contains real wood. When you apply Retique It to a surface you are actually applying a thin layer of wood which can be finished using any color stain.
Retique It® is water-based, biodegradable, and has virtually no VOC’s, with no offensive smell and less damage to our environment.
Retique It® can be applied using an inexpensive paint brush or paint sprayer by professionals and DIYer’s alike. Cleanup is as simple as using soap and water.
Retique It® allows you to skip the time-consuming step of stripping the old finish.
