BATTLE OF THE TOPCOATS | Topcoat Testing over chalk paint w/
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2020
- This Battle of the Topcoats video is in collaboration with Christina Muscari of Pretty Distressed. I will be testing the stain blocking and scratch resistance of 3 water-based liquid topcoats, a clear furniture wax and hemp oil to see how each holds up over a piece of painted furniture.
Christina will be testing her topcoats over white paint, while I’ll be doing my tests on a darker colour.

Wow you put so much effort into creating this video! Was exactly what I was looking for when comparing the finishes. Thank you so much, it was so helpful :)
like a scientist in a lab sharing your results with the world. I'm impressed and thankful. this saved me so much time
I am a current subscriber to your channel as well as Pretty Distressed. A million thanks for your collaboration! This helps take the guesswork out of deciding which topcoat(s) to use for those of us wanting to embark on furniture painting!
Absolutely the best two videos out there on this subject. Thanks to both of you❤️👍🏼
Wow, thank you!
this was GREAT!! you did such a wonderful job of comparing the finishes . Thank you!
Wow these videos are well organized and edited. Thank you so much, these are so helpful ! :)
Your comparisons test is such a huge help! Thanks so much.
This was fantastic! It helped me make up my mind on which top coat I’d choose for my first refinished product. Ty
This was so informative!! I'm re-watching, taking notes and then heading over to my hardware store to buy my painting supplies!
Glad it was helpful!
This was VERY helpful. Thank you for this video!! 🙏🏼
This was so helpful, thank you for the invaluable information Katie. I always look forward to your fantastic videos 😉
What an AWESOME video for everyone no matter how long you’ve been doing this.. I used to spend my free time doing triathlon until I got an injury and am giving furniture flipping a go. So as an UBER beginner with 1 project so far your channel is SOOOOOO HELPFUL...
Thank you for doing this experiment! It saves all of us so much time and wasted effort! You are the best!
Thank you for all of the side by side pictures. This is is exactly what I was needing to make my final decision on top coat for this particular piece I'm working on. Thank you so much!!!!!
I've used Tung Oil with wax over it and I have been thrilled at the finish and durability. I learned that from my father-in-law who has refinished antique furniture for decades. Sometimes the old ways can be a good option.
Cool!
Joyce Stewart what brand of Tung Oil have you found? I’m interested in trying it on a very old table from 1940
Did you use the tung oil over chalk paint?
Is this combo durable enough for a dining room table?
that is another awesome tip....I will put the info in my notes with the info on the varnish...
Thank you!! This is what we needed actually seeing it your like the only person who did it this way
Thank you very much for doing it for us! What an amazing informative video!! Love your channel :)
What a great idea Katie! Thank you for sharing your results. I appreciate the time needed for this! Can't wait to pick up more wax!
You are oh so welcome! Thank you so for watching.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been trying to decide what topcoat to use on my newly refinished and painted furniture that I used chalk paint - first furniture painting project. This was definitely the shortcut I was looking for bc there are so many different options and opinions out there I was going down a wormhole! You def saved the day! Thanks again!
By far best representation and actual test I have seen so far! Very informative
YES! I was just about to make the same comment, totally agree 👏
Wow!! You out so much detail and provided the visuals for every possible question that I could have thought of. I really typically don’t comment, but I cannot show love to someone who did such an amazing job
Haven’t even seen it yet and I already know it’s gonna be AMAZING!!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed. Love your work 💛
Great video Katie - thanks for taking time to do this for us all. Cheers, Sue in Sydney
Thank you both. I found 2 top coats that I have were the contenders on each of your channels. Hugs to you🤗
Awesome! I've been loving my Behr wax for a while now! I was super surprised as well. Great job Katie.
this is one of the best most comprehensive test I have seen, and I love that you had not only included paint on varnish is but waxes, this is so awesome as I do paint furniture and I wanted to see what the comparisons were. Bravo. 😀
this video is a treasure!! you save us months of experiments thank you very much
So excited to see how well the Behr wax stood up! I’ve been finding it hard to get the finish I want with liquid top coats. May try the wax on my next piece!
Thank you!!! Exactly what I was looking for ❤
amazing content! thank you Katie and Christina!
I love when creative content makers collaborate. ❤
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
You are amazing! been watching videos all afternoon, some informative, some boring, came across this and although I had no interest in top coats, you made this so interesting. What an amazingly rich video in information and useful tips. Thank you for all your time.
Thank you for conducting this test of top coats. These videos are so informative and helpful to us novice.
I’m glad they were helpful. We both learned a lot too!
I have been using wax for a while now. I can see scratches over the 6 years, but not stains. Never worried to much with the grand kids, because if I had to I could just repaint it. Lol I do plan on painting my table this year anyway. Thank you so very much for this valuable information! Hugs.... You go girl!!!!
Great informative, fun video Katie! That’s so sweet you used the boys LEGO! I pretty much use AS wax, (have not tried Behr wax). Wax cures rock hard when fully cured so I do like that. Recently discovered WO varnish, it’s a nice durable finish too. Yes, coasters are a must - no matter the finish for sure! Congrats on your continued success on UA-cam!!🙌🏼
This is a full premium content!! Thank you 😊
Thank you for that video !I've been going thru so many just to get a straight answer ! You don't talk too much it's quick and to the point ! Your videos should be first on the list especially for people with short attention span
Great job with your testing. Clearly shown what you did and clearly explained. I found it very helpful.
This is the best thing Ive ever seen.
omg! this was just the video I was looking for! thanks so much!
Both of these videos were so informative! I would love to see more collabs from the 2 of you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your experiment! I hardly ever watch a video all the way through but I did yours! Going out to buy Varathane Diamond coat for my kitchen island top after painting it Waverly Ink. Thanks again! 😊
FINALLY, an answer! Gonna use the Varathane Diamond Wood Finish in Satin. No more being overwhelmed and unsure of what top coat I should get. Thank you!
loved the comparison test! awesome video 🙌🏻
Liked the way you tested! That was really helpful to decide! Thank you so much! I was confused what to get actually as a newbie! Keep doing more videos like this! 🤗❤️
I can't thank you enough for doing this test. I have only used Behr wax so far and always wondered about trying other sealers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this fantastic comparison. I am refinishing a small painted wood chest originally from a yard sale. I have had it for years, but it had faded quite a bit and I wanted to refresh the colors. Since I keep potted plants on top of it, the topcoat durability was a major concern.
Yes! Awesome video!! Ty!
Thank you for testing top coat on chalk paint. I'm looking forward to watch who you collaborated with. Have a wonderful day.
I have needed this video for so long! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching!!!
This was awesome! I was searching for something else and landed here.... I was stuck instantly and it is very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time and energy to make such a great video. I'm so disappointed in the Rustoleum I have to say...! I almost bought some yesterday. This was a huge help and now I'm off to the wax section! Take care all, and God bless!
Hi Katie....I watched both and I too am amazed by the protection the wax gives! I have never tried the Varathane product but definitely think I should try it! Thank you for sharing 😊k
Omg , thank you for this video!!!!you’re amazing
Wow thanks Katie-- This was eye opening! I've been undervaluing wax for a long time.
KATIE!!!!! Your video is kismet! I was searching for the BEST topcoat for my new dresser and I was blown away because you used the same color Hurricane! Thankyou for all the advice and all your hard work. This video was brilliant and methodical. I have subscribed!!!!
Thank you for doing this!!!
Interesting! Glad I saw this. Thanks for sharing your info. Enjoyed!
Such a great and informative video! I’m impressed with the wax. I bought it to try it out but hesitated to use it as a top coat.
Awesome video Katie!! First, thanks so much for taking the time to do this comparison - I know it must have been time consuming! Second, I am shocked about the wax too! I have avoided wax on the tops of many of my pieces for the exact same reasons! Thanks again and you did a great job on this!!
You are so welcome!
Super informative! I use polyacrylic and love it but great to see the other options and how they hold up!
Half way through and I’m loving this test!!!...very informative!!! Thank you. Headed over to pretty distressed now...
This was SOOO interesting to see!! I started doing a similar test about a year ago and never finished it. 🤦🏻♀️ I can’t believe the wax held up so good!
How informative! Thank you so much! 😎
Thank! You help me so much with my doubt. I purchased the Behr wax and i’am so confused to used. Now I know how to use it. Thanks!!
Wow! I watched 3 videos about Minwax polycyclic before watching yours. Hands down the most well planned, executed and delivered information I've found. After watching, I decided to try waxing my table top instead of polycyclic. I'm subscribed!
So glad you did this.
What an amazing tutorial, Thankyou so much ❤️🌈
Thanks for the answer to my question. I learned the hard way about poly and wax
Love this test! Thank you!
Katie! Awesome video! I was shocked by how well the wax held up too! Varathane for the win though! ❤️
This might be the most helpful video on UA-cam, thank you!!
This was such a helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you for doing this!
Thank you so much for this!
Wow thank you soooo much I think this is about the most helpful video on the planet
Super helpful! I actually had already purchased one of these products for use on an upcoming piece, then took it back to exchange based on your test. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great test with surprising results! I’m gonna have to order me some varathane 👍
I love this video thank you sooo much
Super video!!! Thanks a lot 🌷
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!! I have wax but I've not used it much fire the same reasons as you. I think I'll use it on the piece I'm currently working on. I've not been fortunate enough to come across Christina's channel. So I'm looking forward to seeing what she has to offer. Headed there now. Thanks again 🙂
I definitely appreciated that one block of yours was without any topcoat. There are some paints out there that claim not to need a topcoat. It might be interesting to see how they compared with each other. But I did enjoy this video and Christina's too. Great idea!
Thank you so much for watching! I think we may try to do another video comparing the “no top coat required” brands 😉
I found Christina on youtube first as I am a beginner and am looking for a lot of helpful info. I am so happy you collaborated with her as I live in Ontario. It is so helpful to see what brands you use as I know I will be able to get them here.
Oh, the struggle is REAL trying to find products up here. But there are a lot of fabulous Canadian companies that have our backs!
Such helpful information. When it’s cold here in Minnesota winter I feel cooped up and start painting all the things. 😂 Grateful for this information and now to go see which can be used best indoors 😁 thanks for the calab and well thought out video!
Thank you Katie!!
Yes! Just in time for my first project
Yay!
Great video! Thank you Katie 🌺
Very helpful! Thanks!!
Thank you for this side by side comparrison. It confirmed what I expcted, Varathane would be the winner. I is so nice to see how all the dif products with dif stains held up. Very informative!
Fantastic video, I'm going to use your recommendations for my newly hampton-painted pieces!!
Great testing! Thanks!!
Great job and solid comparison. Coasters all around!! 🙂😊👍👀
Thanks! 😀
This is presented perfectly.Ive watched countless videos that at the end still gave no answers as what to use.Or gave broad options w broad circumstances and results.Awesome job.Thank you
Super test. I work with polymer clay, which needs sealing depending on paints, chalks , mica powder, etc used. This is helpful for me. Thank you!
So cool!
Thank you for this. For those of us that don't have the strength/stamina to wax anymore, the test of paintables is important. I'd like to see how shellac, either pre-made or mixed from chips, holds up.
What a great test
New to your channel and this was awesome! Wow, thank you for doing this. I don’t sell furniture but I paint for myself and for my kids and grandkids.
Excellent testing as usual 👍👍🌟
Thank you Katie! I was happy to see Behr wax was a true contender. I’ve been using it for several years and recommending this products to my friends. Enjoyed watching you and Christina!
Hi question, is it safe to use as top coat for my wood sign with a lettering on top of it using posca pens
@@cnn9697 I would use polycyclic
