## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used on an already stripped laminate top?**
A: Im not sure I would imagine, I used it on a childs old cabinet then stained it....the stuff is great!!!

**Q: Can I use this product {antique it} on white painted kitchen chairs**
A: I'm sure it will work on your white painted chairs. It might be a little difficult staining, but I wouldn't imagine it would be too bad. This stuff is amazing. Take some before and after pictures, because nobody will believe you when you tell them they are the same chairs.  I used the light wood, with a dark stain. Came out fantastic. The light wood Retique It, lets some imitation grain to show through as you wipe a darker stain off. Very cool.

**Q: Can you describe difference colors in ebony stain vs kona stain?**
A: Hello,  ebony stain has more of a black appearance and Mona stain has a chocolate or deep brown appearance.

**Q: Can you use it on a bathroom countertop?**
A: Yes, you can. I would just make sure to seal it with something more durable than a typical poly. You’ll definitely want some type of marine varnish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by K***L on 26 April 2021*

I absolutely love this product! The pictures I attached are of two different projects both done with bleached wood. This product breathes life into pieces that you want to refinish but aren't real wood. It can also be used on wood. Projects where the veneer isn't in good enough shape to stain. There are Facebook groups and YouTube videos to show you how to use this. It's a game changer.
