Questions & Answers

CAN I MIX THIS WITH A PAINT COLOR FOR BATHROOM. MY BATHROOM GETS REAL WET. ITS VERY SMALL AND THE WALLS GET DRIP LINES. THANKS

Answer This Question

We would not recommend this for two reasons: 1. The Stain Blocker is formulated to prevent stains and wood tannins from existing surfaces from penetrating thru a newly painted surface and not necessarily for this application, and 2. This is an acrylic-based stain blocker and will not mix well with a latex paint. We would recommend that you use a broad wall paint that is weather/moisture resistant for your bathroom. Thank you! -DecoArt Paint Guru

    this stain blocker is also called a sealer but it's not waterproof. While I plan to sealed my wood table with this first, then paint with calk paint, am I also suppose to put a coat of this sealer on top of a coat of chalk paint to "seal" it? This is my first chalk paint project. I'm stating with a wooden TV Tray. :)

    Answer This Question

    This product is a stain blocker and sealer, but it is not waterproof. It is designed to prevent stains and wood tannins from bleeding through paint. It dries to a clear, durable finish and is recommended for painting from darker colors to lighter colors. It's important to note that while it seals the surface, it doesn't provide waterproofing. For exterior wood projects or surfaces exposed to moisture, you'll need a dedicated waterproof sealant.

    Approx how many Sq ft will this cover? Can I use it over varnished wood furniture without sanding?

    Answer This Question

    One 8 oz. jar covers approximately 40-50 sq. ft. While the product description doesn't specify whether sanding is required before application on varnished wood, it's generally recommended to lightly sand and clean any surface before applying a stain blocker for better adhesion and to ensure a smooth, even finish. This will also help the stain blocker penetrate the existing finish more effectively. You can refer to the "Use and Care Manual" on the product page for more detailed instructions.

    Worked as advertised
    I used the stain blocker/sealer on a wood table that had a lot of water damage and stains. The product went on easy with a brush and foam roller. The instructions say to allow the product to cure for at least 5 days, which I did before painting with the chalky paint. My results were great, no bleed through.

    Will definitely use again
    This product was easy to use and has very low odor. I tried applying the chalky paint without the stain blocker but found that the stain blocker gave me better application. This product gives the chalky paint a smoother application and allowed me to spread the paint further. I plan to use the stain blocker for all of my future projects. Definitely essential for any laminate furniture!

      I thought this was horrible or perhaps maybe a bad batch. It was lumpy and I took it in the house and mixed it and then let it sit and it was still lumpy. I put it on the furniture, thinking it would resolve itself, but ended up having to take it off. Don’t buy this.

      This product did an excellent job at blocking the oak...
      This product did an excellent job at blocking the oak grain in my kitchen cabinets to allow me to paint them with the white enamel also from Americana Decor. Highly recommend and will be purchasing more to finish my project. It does go a long way so do not be intimidated by the container size.

      Put it on before my paint and did three coats if desired paint afterwards and the finished product is wonderful.
