Covering up to 150 sq. ft. per quart, it reacts with wood tannins to create unique, durable, and authentic weathered finishes with easy brush-on application. Ideal for interior wood surfaces like furniture, cabinets, and trim, it delivers a rich aged look with minimal effort and long-lasting results.

## Description

This water-based wood effect works with wood’s tannins to produce a naturally aged look in minutes. Every piece of wood reacts differently, so every project is unique.

Review: Looks good - I like the way my mailbox post looks. This is quite dark, but you can still see some wood grain plus I imagine it’ll fade with time (tho it’s fine with me if it doesn’t). It was super easy to paint on and looks great.
Review: Worked great - Very easy to use and instructions are clear. Goes on smooth and dries nicely. Color seemed to be durable and hold up well over 3 years now. Slight streaks but probably because of improper applying on my part.

## Features

- Accelerated the look of naturally aged wood
- Just brush on bare wood
- Unique results every time

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be watered down if it's darker than I would prefer?**
A: It is water based and may work. Try it on a scrap piece of wood.  You can put a little on a rag and spread it with the grain over a larger area and then add more if needed.

**Q: Can this be used on laminate counter tops?**
A: It is a wood stain and I used it on wood.  I do not know if it would work well to stain laminant.  There may be some  food safety issues.  My countertops get a lot of wear and it may stay on very long.

**Q: Can this be used with a semi transparent stain? If so which should be applied first?**
A: It is already stain.  I do not know what would happen  if you put  transparent stain on top.  You could try it on a scrap piece of wood.  I did apply a layer of clear polyurethane on top.

**Q: Is this somewhat transparent, letting the woods natural grain show through? ...or is it more like black paint?**
A: it is transparent for the most part. the more you layer it on, the darker it gets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks good
*by A***L on January 31, 2024*

I like the way my mailbox post looks. This is quite dark, but you can still see some wood grain plus I imagine it’ll fade with time (tho it’s fine with me if it doesn’t). It was super easy to paint on and looks great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great

Very easy to use and instructions are clear. Goes on smooth and dries nicely. Color seemed to be durable and hold up well over 3 years now. Slight streaks but probably because of improper applying on my part.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixed feelings on this one
*by M***M on September 23, 2022*

This is the first time I have used this product. My intention was to "age" some pallet wood for an art project as shown in the photo above. I don't know for sure how this product works, but I am guessing that it is some kind of mild acid or salt solution. I used three coats and applied as directed. It goes on easily, but is the same as painting with water so be careful because you will have a lot of overflow unless you can control it by doing your project on a workbench, which I did. My "creative" idea was to make this wood look like driftwood. I decided to dust on some raw azure pigment that I had around my shop and then I finished and sealed it with diluted polyurathane. Although I did not achieve exactly the effect that I wanted, with some expermenting my project was 75% successful.
