Lot of fancy this and that and very heavy. It attained a crack and I decided to replace it. The last exterior door I purchased was in 1996. I went to replace it with a similar door and the cost was $3000! Just for the door. So I decided I was just going to completely refinish the door. This door began life as a solid wood stained door, over the years it has been painted, five times. I started sanding and immediately realized this was going to take forever. So I looked for alternatives and found a lot of YT videos about this product. all positive, I could find nothing negative about it. So I bought the first jar. Filled the crack, sanded the whole door smooth and put this on it. I then stained it and it worked unbelievably well. It's been over a year and it has held up really well. My neighbor is a woodworker and has a big shop behind his house with all the tools of a woodworker and has built his own house entirely buy himself, twice. Very nice homes. He saw my door and thought I stripped and stained it. I said no, it's paint on wood. You paint it on and stain it just like you stain any wood. He did not know there was such a thing but said it came out really good and looks like wood. I will add that I went to Lowes and bought the plastic tools to add fake wood grain, knots and so forth. I have also purchased three jars total because I am also doing my garage door to match my front door. Great product, actually works. Review: Stunning 10/10 - I never write desertcart reviews, but this product absolutely deserves 5 stars. Flawlessly transforms almost any surface into an unbelievably realistic wood texture. The process is easy and much quicker than alternatives (mostly just waiting for coats to dry and can be completed in 3-5 hours depending on the scale of the project). Most of the negative reviews seem to be based off of user error. Watch some videos on YouTube and make sure to layer up to your desired tone and texture. Long and consistent strokes across the length of the surface are key to success. The only downside is this bundle does not include a polycrylic sealant, so make sure to pick some up before you start your project or you’ll be scrambling last minute for it. I’ve used this on wood, plastic, and even stiff non stretch fabric and they’ve all turned out flawlessly. With just a pinch of artistry, and retique it is an unstoppable force of design ease. 10/10 ## Features - [SAVE TIME AND MONEY] This kit has everything you need including -- Retique It liquid wood, waterbased gel stain, paint brush, staining sponge, and foam brush.
