This water-based, low-odor system eliminates sanding and stripping, allowing professional-quality wood finishes with any stain or paint. Ideal for furniture, cabinets, and more, it’s the eco-friendly shortcut to authentic wood beauty. ## Description Retique It is a patented, 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. The adhesion and absorption properties are excellent, which allows your stain to absorb like it would on an unfinished wood surface. After applying Retique It, you can use any manufacturer’s stain, paint or sealant to create the look and finish you want. Review: Yes!!!! It works - Ok people this stuff works!!!! I have to warn you, the smell is terrible. It was super easy to apply. First you do the bottom coat. Then the top coat is the stain. Using the tools is what makes the difference. Make sure to purchase the tools for the full wood look effect. Let it dry very well in between layers. I did 24 hours. The coverage is fantastic, a little goes along way. I used one full cam on the front and back of my door. For the price I think it’s a great value! I will purchase this again for other projects.
