I have had trouble with the prep, too, and have had to prime some things or I got a lot of "bleed through". I think that what people gain in the prep area they lose when it comes to the waxing and buffing. Good luck on your chairs. Hope you have them done for Christmas! lol Sorry- couldn't resist! xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-21699742649610361042014-09-07T19:48:57.105-05:002014-09-07T19:48:57.105-05:00I have been lucky with the no prep thing so far Ja...I have been lucky with the no prep thing so far Jane, I guess your right about the different finishes, yours is just a bit tougher.

Now I'm a little skeptical about it. I always wondered about the no prep claim, just seems like one of those too good to be true things. I've been wanted to try milk paint too.Raymond Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215071566951222353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-45834470687643658102014-09-06T21:40:04.348-05:002014-09-06T21:40:04.348-05:00Can't wait to see the finished chair.
