I'm so glad I found this tutorial but wish I looked BEFORE I applied it to my front door! I rubbed hard and in circles and didn't wait 48 hours for my paint to dry. I thought the first tutorial that I watched a few days ago about painting a front door was 2 hour wait. I should have gone back and watched again before I started. So if I can figure out how to put my locks back on my door since it's 7:15 pm right now; I will try again tomorrow. I'm afraid to buff until I put another coat on though since the paint wasn't on for 48 hours. GREAT VIDEO and you are a great instructor; calm, cool, and collective! :)

Painted 2 coats DB light paint, used one coat of regular top coat, later lightly sanded with DB sanding tool. I did this because of a slightly sticky feeling surface. It’s a book case so didn’t want that. It is still a bit tacky so want to know if I can use gatorhide now to give a better finish. This whole process has been about three weeks so should be dry. Sorry this is not very chronological.

Hi there Gwynneth, did you prep you piece first by cleaning with White Lightning? We recommend to always clean your piece prior to painting. Once you have cleaned your piece, you must thoroughly wash it off with water. If you have done this already, it may be the time between the paint and the Clear Coat. Allowing for a proper dry time is essential to getting a smooth finish. Gator Hide is our most durable top coat used for high traffic areas or outdoor pieces. We hope this helps and happy painting.

I’m getting ready to apply gator hide to a dining room table that I’m going for a restoration hardware look. I sanded to bare wood, purposely exposed the grain and added texture to deepen the grain. I then DB chalk painted a base coat, then applied a thin coat of DB clear coat, then applied custom tinted DB wax and wiped it back. Waiting for that to dry. I’m a little scared for the gator hide step. Any tips? Would it be safer to apply another coat of clear coat first? The overall color shade is medium grays. I don’t want a high gloss finish.

What do you do for streaks on a dark paint color when you want a matte finish? Should I add a little bit of paint to the gator hide?

Hey Elizabeth! You can do that but before you do, try taking a sanding pad and try sanding it lightly! Let me know!

Hi, I have a two part question with regard to gator hide. The first question is that I just finished doing a microwave cart and I did put three coats of gator hide on top. They were nice and thin and I waited two hours between coats but there is a bump or a piece of dust that seems to have gotten in there and I Can still see some slight streaks. Is it possible to use the quadruple zero at this point and gator hide back over it for that shine? Secondly, we have a coffee pot that’s underneath the cabinet and my husband is always worried that the steam from the coffee pot will cause the cabinet tree wood to split overtime. Is it possible to use some gator hide on the underside of our cabinet to waterproof it from the steam?

Hi there! You can go ahead and buff your gator hide to try to smooth out the streaks! You can use Gator Hide on the underside of your cabinet to waterproof it, yes! Hope this helps and happy painting!

How long do you wait to apply Gatorhide after applying No Pain Gel Stain? I had to apply more stain than normal so I'm worried that it may need more time to dry due to that reason. I waited at least 8 hours between each coat of gel stain.

Hi there! If you added additional No Pain Gel Stain. Please allow extra drive time. Wait until the stain is no longer sticky or tacker and then apply your Gator Hide! We hope this helps and happy painting!

Hi! How long do you have to wait after staining with gel stain before applying gator hide? How soon after you’re done with your applications of gator hide can the table be used and wiped and cleaned by the new owners? Thank u!!!

Hi Natalia, We reccomend to allow the piece to dry and apply Gator Hide after 72 hours. Once the Gator Hide is applied allow the piece the proper cure time of 21-30 days before use! We hope this helps and happy painting.
