Krylon K04219000-13 Chalky Finish, Quart, Antiquing

Purchase this to finish furniture project was priced less than local hardware store. Krylon has good products. Well satisfied

My husband and I are a professional DIY duo. When we built our fireplace and built-ins, I had a very specific look in mind for the mantle and the shelves. I have worked with wood stain several times in the past and the process is messy and takes way too long, especially when you have many other projects in the works like we do. I discovered a hack that completely transformed the way we do wood finishes. I even used this to turn my friend’s black metal door into a wood looking door (see pictures). First, sand down the wood or whatever material you are using. Next, paint a light coat of Behr’s “Burnished Clay” matte/flat paint all over the surface (brush strokes will resemble wood grain, so be mindful of how you paint it on). Once dried, go in with this wax using a fiber-cloth towel for a light natural wood finish (if you want a rich, darker finish, use a small regular dish towel). And then finish with polyurethane. The entire process from start to finish is less than 2 hours. SOOO much faster, better, and less messy than using stain. Trust me. You will thank me later. **ALWAYS wear rubber gloves when using this product. If you don’t, your hands will be stained for weeks.

This took a little while to come in! The table looks so good. I was happy with the finished product.

As always, this product is great and leaves a fabulous finish on furniture. Love it.

I loved using this product! I wanted to create an old world looking table, out of what was originally a black laminate table top. I used this over a beige paint coat and primer, and used a cheap chip brush to apply it and a paper towel to wipe off excess in areas I wanted to have more of a worn look. I sealed it with a water based polyurethane. We’ve been using this table for 2 months now and it’s held up great and I get so many compliments thinking it was real wood!
