[@panda-goat]

[@TheOlzee]

Hi there, thank you for the info. Could you tell me what you’re painting on to? Is it MDF?

[@favoritliste1]

Very nice work - Thank you 😊

[@DavidMichaelColorez]

I’m painting my garage door and want to do the oak faux! So I have the base color but want to use a darker Glaze, what would the recipe and would name all the tools you used and where to get them?

[@garybrantley4219]

Where do u buy these tools for wood graining

[@shellyharris7823]

Going to try this on my walls. Going for a beach theme :) Thank you so much!

[@cindyherget5196]

Thanks for the technique and tips and brush angles I'm gathering information for my brain to figure out how I'm going to make "boards" on craft paper then onto foam core I think I'll be using a matte spray to base seal the paper to keep it from absorbing and warping. I find like paper that doesn't stay flat. Thanks for putting your self out there and sharing what you know.

[@RonaldLayman]

why not paint directly on the foam core?

[@AnneRr0_0]

Can this be done on a vinyl fence since the vinyl fence has beed manufactured beige and white.

[@RonaldLayman]

+Ann 124 I would use a good quality shellac based primer from xim and Exterior rated glaze with a topcoat of an exterior polyurethane for protection

[@AnneRr0_0]

@@RonaldLayman Thanks 👍

[@muratbura19]

1. Can I use mainly white and grey? 2. Can I use just the flat red tool only. I like those lines. But I don't know if that would look right when its all done. It will be an accent wall in a bedroom. What do you think?

[@traddymom4368]

Would this technique work with dark color as the base and a light color as the glaze? I already have a dark color on the wall and want to lighten it to look like wood.

[@melissacruz6979]

No. That would be like using highlighter on black paper.

[@kriddz]

Fantastic. Just what I was looking for. Thanks Ron!

[@Lucho-na]

Hi what kind of clear do you use it isn’t is your list?

[@brianpimental2948]

What is the color formula you used for this demo

[@d.c.veryown1359]

I want to paint my floor n want to use red . how do i go bout it

[@RonaldLayman]

D.C. veryOwn what is the floor? Concrete, wood, has it been sealed or painted? Interior or exterior?

[@karafog]

Hi Ron! Where can I find tints to put into the glaze/scumble? I search Lowe’s, Home Depot, and amazing but I’m a bit overwhelmed and can’t seem to find the right thing. Thank you!

[@graciemurray1014]

[@karafog]

Gracie Murray thank you!

[@dupchazeable]

What paint did you use

[@richardlewin9282]

Very informative sir TY

[@colleenchase6778]

Thanks for the demo. Turned out beautiful. I'd like to ask you if you think I could use this wood graining technique on white aluminum framed windows. From other research it has been suggested that a primer of Krylon or red rustoleam prima be painted on the window frames; then apply the graining and, as you suggested, finishing with a polyurathane on top (not sure how many coats). Any thoughts or advice about this?

[@dppage]

Can you make tutorials for faux birch and birds eye maple?

[@chadpayne2472]

Would this process work work a flat steel door ?

[@RonaldLayman]

Chad Payne yes

[@kennyfoster8144]

Hi Ron, this was very helpful but I am in desperate need of some help in the color area. The colors on the completed piece at the beginning of the video look perfect for what I need. I'm trying to make a really close match to a Butter Scotch Oak laminated floor. I CANNOT get the color mix for the glaze right. Can you offer more help with how to mix the right colors for the base and glaze? what can I do to determine what colors to mix. I tried going to Lowes for color match but they said that they cannot match colors from wood. Please help.

[@RonaldLayman]

Kenny Foster O'Neill I'm busy the next couple days, give me till Sunday and I can help you out

[@RonaldLayman]

Kenny Foster email me a photo [e-mail]

[@jessesleeper5004]

what color is base coat

[@noahjordan1956]

Beautiful work Ron! You didn't mention a color for the base coat and I was wondering if you would share what you used in the video... looks like a cream color. In addition you said that you used Sherwin Williams Duration in an eggshell finish. As far as I can tell, Duration only comes in matte, satin and semi-gloss. Should I assume that you used satin? Thanks so much for your help... Just trying to get it right the first time. All The Best...

[@catherinerahn4800]

Eggshell ~ “Duration” Mentioned at the beginning of the video.

[@captJeff-bf1dt]

have you tried any of the old antique metal combs they used to use? Thoughts? Would love to see a 1/4 sawn oak faux finish....nice work

[@RonaldLayman]

Hi, yes, I use metal combs, especially for European oak. Thanks for the kind words, I'll try and get a quarter sawn video in the coming weeks.

[@MO-ws2tn]

Looks like pine

[@wworks4u]

Thank you from Japan!

[@RonaldLayman]

Thanks for watching

[@susanp8567]

You said you use "Scumble"glaze (an acrylic glaze) Is Scumble a brand name? What kind of acrylic glaze, can I use a water based polyurethane? I've done this years ago using a craft store glaze mixed with acrylic paints, you said to only use pigments - where can one get pigments? Also when I uses to use the faux glaze, I would combine it with acrylic paints as well as latex (you say no). I am trying to faux wood grain my threshold to my front door which has blackened over time and doesn't take the stain on the part that is exposed to the outdoor like the side on the interior. Your video is great and I only wish you had visually demonstrated the tints & scumble as well as as you did for the brushes. By the way, not many places carry spalters & badger brushes anymore but I think I can improvise on those. If you could direct me to the proper brands or distributers, I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

[@RonaldLayman]

Scumble is a type of glaze, traditional it was an oil glaze that you made and still can, it was then a produced product and with changes to voc laws and advancement of materials you can now get an acrylic version. There are many types of scumble on the market some god, some not, some dry to fast and will yellow because they lack uv resistant properties. Ill post a link to the one the studio offers. Pigments, yes, paint is to opaque when added to a glaze and it will also make glaze dry faster and if you start adding materials to slow down the dry time in addition to paint you can alter the product to much and will most likely fail. Pigments do not alter the dry time allowing more working time and you get the translucency you are looking for when working in layers to create the look of wood. As soft bristle brush will work in some case, a badger is far superior, not many places carry quality badgers because its a small, specialty market and good ones are expensive. a threshold, that has blackened, I would clean the wood, shellac based primer like Zinnser (manufacturer) bin (product) from any big box store, base coat with a porch and floor enamel. do the technique and top coat Marine spar varnish. Thresholds and floors are tough, direct sun light, rain and water lay on the surface, foot traffic and depending on the region snow and ice. Should look for 5 years, id sand and coat the spar urethane maybe every year,, no more then every other. you can also apply carnauba wax to the finish which will help protect and last even longer.

[@marlontan5381]

wat is the name of your tools to design pls...

[@RonaldLayman]

I listed them in the description under the video with amazon links, the glaze I listed is different then what I used in the video buts it is just as good. please use the links when you purchase to support the channel.

[@muratbura19]

Duplex cleaning comb I believe is three name of the tool

[@kittycatz8051]

Hallo. i live in Holland and am trying to figure out what "glaze paint" is. Is it normal wall paint but then with a shine perhaps? i tried to look it up in comparison to a dutch word but couldnt find out what type of paint glaze exactly is,please help?

[@wareaglerebel8131]

Kitty Catz glaze is just paint oil or water based that is thinned or had a retarder added to get more open time. open time being more time to work it into your desired effect
