For my last color I needed it to be a little more blended compared to just stamped. So using Retique It Innocence, I added water to make it thin.
Once you are happy with your new look, let dry thoroughly. Honestly it took less than 10 minutes. Lightly wipe a high grit sanding block over the countertops to give a smooth feel.
Let’s seal!
Retique It came up with an awesome product called Tripletique. It is like a water based Epoxy. I don’t know the science…I just know that I love this stuff! I applied a thin coat using my wonder brush. It has soft bristles and makes application easy. Or you can use a sponge. (Wear gloves..it’s hard to get off if you have painted nails)
Let it dry before applying another coat.
3 coats are recommended.
I used the Satin Tripletique. There are other sheens available like semi gloss and gloss if you want more shine.
It came out beautifully! My friend loved them as well. I had painted mine over a year ago and they have held up perfectly. She was able to use her countertops almost immediately after we finished. I would recommend not putting anything heavy on them for at least 24 hours. (Like a microwave)
