[@everyday4play401]

you look incredibly similar to a college professor I had that absolutely changed my life, he passed away very shortly after I finished his classes. watching your videos sort of takes me back and I get to learn a lot from them as well. Thank you very much for your content.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I appreciate your comment. That is very kind...thanks for watching. Wes

[@kandrisa]

I am so relieved you did a longer breakdown of the process. I’ve had my eye on faux limed wood for my armoire for months now. This is extraordinarily helpful. I will be assembling the frame next week. I have BC pine and am rooting for a white/cream heavy glazed look. I’ll keep you posted. ETA: should a stain the wood before final assembly or afterwards? 🤔

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I think wheel sanding/texturing would more easily be done before assembly. The finish can be applied after assembly. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. Thank you.

[@markbrady9156]

[@kccolly8459]

Hello Wes! I’m hoping you can answer an important question for me. You hv inspired me to redo a table with the ceruse finish. I hv stripped, and used laquer thinner to remove all leftover old laquer and stripper. Lightly sanded, and grooved with wire brush. I am on pause till I figure out if it’s ok just to start ceruse finish and paint or do I need to eliminate and laquer thinner residue first so that paint adheres? I know it evaporates quickly, but ????? Found conflicting info, so I’ll bet my last dollar your the pro with the answer! Thanks!!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...It won't hurt to wipe it down with lacquer thinner and that will clean it. Thanks, Wes

[@briangranvall4664]

@WoodworkingWithWes could you use Rubio monocoat instead of spray lacquer on the final coat?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Rubio Monocoat is actually a color coat and does not require a top coat. Thanks for watching. Wes

[@justinrivera5621]

What nylon grit are you using with your sander to get this finished? Do you change nylon grits?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

There was only one nylon wheel included with the Makita wheel sander and if I remember correctly, it was just labeled "medium". Thanks for watching, Wes

[@bstoph]

Beautiful work! I'm interested in the reverse of what you showed in this video (black underneath with white glaze) but black vinyl primer doesn't seem to be a thing. What did you use on the reverse board that you didn't show in this video? Thanks!!!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

ML Campbell was able to provide me with a black vinyl primer. Thanks for watching. Wes

[@Illuminated.studios]

I believe black solid stain would work as well

[@shawnkirkpatrick4009]

Until being able to afford a wheel sander could you get the same affect using a higher grit sandpaper to bring out the grain of the wood?

[@baraksinz]

Sandpaper would probably not give the same effect. You need those bristles to dig deeper into the soft grain than the hard grain, which is what gives the board the texture. Flat sandpaper moving across the face of the board would not do this, most likely. A wire wheel on a drill or angle grinder would do the trick, though.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Shawn....Barak answered your question perfectly. Thank you both for your comments.

[@anthonygaddy2115]

Great video, one thing I’ve had trouble with is getting a completely clean surface afterwards. 2 coats black sealer, let dry for an hour White glaze applied like video Wiping off right away Sanding after a few hours Black looks bluish like the glaze mixed with the black? One thing further is the black vinyl sealer is pretty flat sheen when dried. Not very slick..should I thin substantially with LT to get a different sheen? It’s basically hard to remove the glaze from the base coat color. Not just wipe and soft sand. Thanks for the video!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Anthony...sounds like you are doing the process correctly. I am not sure where you are getting the bluish color from if your base coat is pure black, the glaze shouldn't make a difference. The sheen should come from the clear top coat which is the final step. Maybe give it another test...hope that works. Thanks. Wes

[@Amlo-jr4zg]

the sanding wheel is 80 girt? or what girt do you use to make ceruse? thanks Wes!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

The nylon wheel on the Makita wheel sander was just labeled "fine". Thanks for watching, Wes

[@bshilkitus]

Such a great video! This will be a new technique for me. I do not have much experience with spraying. What type of sprayer are you using? What would you recommended while keeping my bank account not depleted?

[@brianjackson8867]

Wes, I've finally become comfortable in my ability to create beautiful ceruzed finishes and am ready to take them to market. I own a painting company in Sioux City and wanted to bring something unusual to the market because it seems that all anyone wants us to do is paint their kitchen cabinets white. The question is, how do I price this new offering? Any feedback you have would be appreciated.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Brian...first I want to suggest watching our latest cerusing video on what I would consider the best glazing product available. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYunnGN5d7eGaas As far as pricing is concerned, I am not sure what your market will bare. I would suggest a time and material format. This tends to be a labor intensive process and you will want to price accordingly. With practice, of course, you will become faster. That is where I would start. Good luck...with the amount of response we get, I am sure you will do well. Thanks Wes

[@marilynmay6510]

I love this Wes! You did a great job explaining your process. My question is how would you use the Makita tool on kitchen cabinets that are installed already? Or older oak pieces of furniture? Thank you ahead of time for your answer. Keep making these tutorials please!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you Marilyn...unfortunately the wheel sander would be very difficult on existing pieces as it would not reach into profiles. Perhaps using it on flat surfaces with a hand wire brush for the profiles might solve the problem.

[@marilynmay6510]

[@jasonhetrick7747]

Does the wood need to be real smooth, what grit do you use before using the wire wheel?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Jason...the wood does not need to be smooth, just begin with the wire wheel. Thanks for watching. Wes

[@frick584]

So I'm definitely going to try out this process on a guitar body made of ash. As you've pointed out on other related videos, Ash is another good candidate to do this process. What I'm wondering for myself is after applying the white paint you state that the paint you use has a sealer in which is necessary before applying the glaze. I only use basic acrylic craft paint when doing my work so I'm wondering what type of sealer I would want to use in my process before applying the black glaze? I'm really looking forward to this project! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I am not familiar with acrylic paints and their sealing properties. It might not be necessary to seal between paint and glaze. Give it a test try, if a sealer coat is necessary consult with your paint supplier for a clear sealer product for your paint. Good luck, thanks Wes

[@Adee-at-Rainier]

This is amazing! Thank you for the tutorial. Is this appropriate for flooring?

Do you think that I could do the hallway on my second floor that is red oak and the hand railing which is also oak to look pretty similar to each other?

What color combo did you do where the main part is black and the top is white or gray? Ty

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...no need to strip the finish from your golden oak pieces. I would like to suggest viewing some of our videos on cerusing golden oak doors. On the dark sample I used a black pigmented lacquer and a white glaze to highlight the grain and finished with a clear top coat. Hope this helps. Wes

actually the wheel does come in multiple grits, the 9741 (according to Makita’s website), comes with a 100 grit wheel, but 80 and 240 are available as well, so assuming you used the (100 grit) wheel it came with. thank you. www.makitatools.com/products/details/9741

[@paulmeinville9523]

So do I have the process correct? 1) Sand with 120 Grit 2) Use wire wheel to open the grain 3) Would it help to use a wood conditioner prior to using the Primer/Sealer? 4) How long should you let the primer/sealer dry prior to applying the Glaze? 5) Apply Glaze by brush and then use fine sanding sponge to push the glaze into the grain better; wait 10 minutes then wipe down with a clean cloth 6) Apply one coat of lacquer, or should you apply two coats for a stair tread?

How can I get the chemical used in the wood making and processing and I need your contacts ...

Well this question will show my green ears for these types of things but here goes: how do you tell it’s oak, ash, alder? I believe I know what red cherry (if that’s a type) but also pine and Mahogany too. I’ve never seen Purple Heart in person but I’ve heard it’s the most expensive and literally unobtainable, but then I saw someone “fake” it with Unicorn Spit in color Purple Hill Majesty (there’s a question somewhere on it’s way about that type of gel glaze...lol) and it was a really good faux finish! But I don’t know why I wanted this but my hubby got me like 6 bottles and the last thing I want to put it on is only my teal pieces of wood furniture. But I love this technique you did I watched the first video and just saved it bc I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to to do it because you lost me around the part when it was painted with the colored gel stain then sprayed then coated and then I understand (most of them) the terms but I don’t understand why you would do that and then sand it and repeat. But it really doesn’t matter why bcuz the outcome is so I mean SO beautiful. To me, it almost looks metallic. That is something I would definitely do on my kitchen cabinets whatever kind of wood they are. Thank you for breaking this down.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi Alli...wood identification is confusing to start but the more time you spend in projects, the easier it will become. Do like I did to start and ask someone at the lumber yard to help you. I hope this 2nd video explains the process better. Practice on some scrap pieces until you get your desired results before you begin your kitchen cabinets. Good luck in your quest and thank you !!

Hi Paul...unfortunately I am not available for personal training. I think if you rewatch the video and follow the instructions you will do just fine. Good luck...thanks for visiting my channel. Wes

Why glaze? Why not just another paint? What is special about glaze?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...paint and glaze are different products with different specific application results. In this process paint over paint would not give you the same results. Thanks for watching. Wes

Can Nigeria wood do this?????

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

So sorry...I am not familiar with the Nigerian woods. Thanks for watching, Wes

Wes, I just found your channel and absolutely love how you explain the application of this glaze technique. Quick question though; I want to make some outdoor chairs and would love to use this finish on them. Do you think this would stand up to weather extremes? Looking forward to your answer!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi David...the top coat lacquer that I use is not an exterior finish. Check your finish supplier for a quality exterior finish...maybe a spar varnish or something similar. Glad you found the channel and enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Hi Wes, how much time do you let the primer sit before applying the glaze and before sanding the glaze? Thankyou.

I'm making some french cleats for the bedroom and would like to spice them up a bit.

[@DTM-ch7jy]

Nice. Nice.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you very much...appreciate your comment.

Is that oak plywood

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

No it is solid wood. Veneer plywoods would allow enough texture. Thanks for watching. Wes

Had anyone successfully used pine doing this technique?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

We found pine to be less satisfactory than hardwoods with distinctive grain such as oak and ash. I suggest you doing a test and judge the results for yourself. Thank you very much for watching.

Great Video Wes! I went shopping for Nylon drums as I'm using the Eastwood SCT (surface conditioning tool) and there are nylon drums from 60 grit all the way up to 600 grit with every stepping stone in between. May I ask what grit you are using in your burnishing tool?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

The nylon wheel that I am using came with my Makita and I couldn't find an indication of what grit. It is fairly stiff and I would assume 60 or 80 grit (this is just a guess...sorry) Hope this helps...thanks for watching.

We will have other videos upcoming with different color combinations. Thank you. Wes

I like what you show but you don't show you doing the black one are you sure it's the white one that you did you don't show how you did the black one show how you did the black one you can
