Grain the second coat

Give the base coat 2 hours to dry then paint on a second layer either with the same or a different color wood. Immediately go over it with the graining tool. Watch the above video for detailed graining instructions.

Works with any color stain

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!

Seal, protect and give it shine

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!

Enjoy your new work of art

Retique It is a patented, revolutionary new product which makes virtually any hard surface stainable without having to strip off the old finish.

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.
