Staining Old Stair. Looking for Feedback
Posted this in another sub but only got one kind person to give me feedback. I bought a Retique It kit for the second time in hopes it will solve my stair project. My stairs were painted when I purchased my house and too weathered to strip or sand down (trust me, I REALLY tried). I bought a smooth finish cedar kit and when I went to add the alternative gel I noticed the color looked red compared to the orange/brown I was expecting. I added the color to the stair trusting the process since I used Retique It before for a different project and it went so well. When I added the stain, it looked like I was painting blood on my stair with how red it was. It looked so off I only did one step. I did two coats hoping it would correct itself and again it looked really red. When I reached out to the company to see if there was an error, they told me the bottle I received was indeed cedar even though I sent them a photo of the bottle and how it looked closer to a wine red. They stated there’s nothing they can do since there was no error on their end. So here’s where I need feedback. Am I crazy? Is the color I received definitely cedar or are they just not owning that they messed up?? Stain that was sent to me stain I believe I received The cedar stain as shown online How the cedar stain is supposed to look on my stair after each coat give or take lighting Stain on step with flash Stain on step without flash submitted by /u/Relation-Ill [link] [comments]
