This is crazy! I was using my surfprep today, and looked at the screens/papers and all that jazz....and had no idea what the screens were for. I thought I would definitely be looking it up on KZbin tonight. First, though I had to watch my subscribed videos first (you and Kacha) after I came in and showered. You just happened to be explaining all the surfprep papers!! That's insane...so when I say that's exactly what I needed to see today, it's literally what I needed to see😆😆...thanks!! Sorry for the long winded comment but it blew my mind! Also...beautiful piece as always ❤❤

Thank you for all of your content it is beautiful!!! I have a French dresser and nightstand I want to do and I have chosen a charcoal color. I am actually using Sherwin-Williams urethane paint and Benjamin Moore Kendall charcoal color. I have a desk that I am going to do in a muted pink. I do have a vision but wondering how I can really amp it up. Since the color of my furniture will be quite dark what can I do to detail it ?

[@bethscholtes4897]

This is gorgeous!! Thank you for the video. I had a question. I just got a Surf Prep sander and am wondering if you use a screen or what to sand down your top? I tried several combos and then just got my orbital back out, as it was faster and took the finish off better. I want to use the Surf Prep and am having a bit of a learning curve with it. I want it to be magic for the price, but I am struggling a bit to see the magic, if you know what I mean. Thanks for any help!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

I like the screens best on raw wood, use a 60 or 80 grit to strip a top, if that isn't working, may need to strip chemically first

I notice in some of your videos that you use a tool in the hardware holes to pull out the drawers when you need to. What tool is it that you use?

[@Englishivywitch]

Beautiful color! 🤩 What grit of sandpaper do you use for scuff sanding? I don't think I've ever heard you say. And how do you know if your scuff sand is good enough?

[@thelight8457]

I see how that can work for solid colors but what if you’re blending?

[@JodiSlautterback]

I haven't seen you do white, but would you do the same dark wax for that as well? 😬

[@Purpurschnecke]

If you want to combine this black wax on the edges - technique with some transfers then you would probably do first the transfer, then the black wax then a sealing, right? Or would you do a sealing underneath the transfer first and then all the other steps? I know that the transfer has to be on BEFORe the wax, that so far is clear to me. Thx!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

I would do transfer, wax, seal Another option is transfer, seal, wax, seal

[@cindymacdonald5611]

Stunning piece!! What would you use to seal if your wax was an oil based wax? Thanks for a great video!!

If its an oil based wax, you would apply that last

Gray Boss is just a color tinted version of clear Boss. They do the same thing: Blocking odor, and bleed through. Some paint colors do better with a colored Boss under them versus just using clear.

Clear would also be used when you want to distress and see the wood underneath your paint finish

[@eddieadams4770]

Strange to me. If I want brush-free, I spray it. The whole point of hand painting is to see the hand painting. It's 10 times the work as spraying and looks twice as nice. You compare any two pieces of furniture and it's the hand-painted one that captures your eye. The brush strokes, the little imperfections--that's what catches a person's eye. Then they realize all the work that went into it and are even more impressed with the piece. I would never try and hide the brush strokes. That defeats the whole point. Remember, Ikea and Walmart don't have brush strokes.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

I spray a lot too, but sprayers are not something everyone has, so I thought it was important to show methods for those who don't spray

[@deniceshoup7143]

We’re you almost done with the piece when the client wasn’t happy with the color? Do charge more when this happens? I have some people wanting me to paint for them but do not have an idea how to charge them fairly. I realize they are supplying the pieces but it does take a lot of good products and time to do it correctly. Do you have a video on how quote prices?
