Big Update In Cerusing Your Golden Oak Cabinets & Furniture 

I could watch this gentleman for hours, explaining how grass grows, and how paint dries!

Thank you Wes for taking the time to show us something new and exciting, I really love the blue with the white glaze, would you recommend it for a kitchen though? I want to freshen up my whole kitchen, but as yet I am undecided on a practical color. I am scared to go too dark as the kitchen does not get enough natural light, also hesitant to go too bold like the blue, for fear of being bound by the color too much. I'd love to get your input on this. Thanks again for your wonderful content, I really appreciate it keep safe from Mitzi in South Africa

You are amazing! Thank you for your very informative, clearly articulated, step by step technique instructions….every time!! You are appreciated!!!

I love all of these cabinet choices! So amazing to have found your Chanel! I no longer feel trapped in my golden oak kitchen! I HAVE OPTIONS NOW! Woohoo! 🙏

I think you had all that blue residue when wiping off the white glaze because you didn't wipe down the panel after you did that quick sand. So it left the blue dust behind.

Wes, I've enjoyed you ceruse videos but I don't use the paints that you use. Is there away to ceruse just using latex or oil paints that I can get from Home Depot or Lowes? If so how would I do it or have you already done a video on it?

Love watching your video's. Do you have any before and after completed kitchens. I'd love to see ceruse cabinets in a kitchen.

Pre-cat lacquer is not paint. Actual paint would give it a completely different finish. I'm seeing a few websites that also call it paint. Is it being called paint because of its opacity?

Beautiful. Wondering it is possible to wire brush my wood cabinet, not use a color base coat but rather just add color glaze to existing cabinet color to highlight grain.

Hi this is Jane from qfun, we have a digital caliper, and would love to invite you to test it on your channel, are you interested?If so, pls let me know how to contact you, thank you in advance.

hi nice and amazing work i try with paint sample the problem i have wrong type of paint like kils can i tell what paint i can use because i looking for premium wall & wood primer i don't found it out off stuck thank you

Thank you for showing us this technique Wes! I prefer the white glaze

Buenas noches. Como puedo pedir es furneture glaze producto en mexico en español

Great tips, I like the blue 🔵with the black undertones!

Thanks Wess! I liked the white also. I would love to do all white top cabinets, then choose a color and do this process with the white glaze to the bottom cabinets and island..

The last thing on earth anybody wants is cabinets that look like a weekend warrior slapped some paint over them. I (and most) people want it to look as if it came from the factory that way and these don't, they are BETTER. Cerusing looks 100x better than just painting a solid color, 17:30... So even if you wanted a strong medium hue it isn't all in your face as a solid color would be, and looks so much more expensive. Just be sure the final clear coating is durable enough to stand up to grease removing cleaners which will no doubt need to be used time to time.

Ok ! pour les facades en massif, et les cadres des placards eux -même en mélaminé (faux bois) comment faire ? et les anciennes charnières apparentes ?

When there is a man who looks like an eagle teaching me how to céruse over céruse…I am going pay attention😊

What if I’m doing maple cabinets? Do I still use wire brush

Question: Does cerusing peel and chip off (after a while), like a regular paint job? How about “glazing” only? Note: I have golden oak cabinets (in excellent shape), and my husband doesn’t want them messed with…

Can Knotty Alder give similar effect?

You should have sanded the green one down. I think that would have e brought out the other colors

mix the black and white. Make gray. see what happens?

The one that you had already done, perhaps to enhance grain further you can block it with 40 or 60 grit. Perhaps instead of a paper towel on the face, try a California water jet (squeege) To allow for more buildup in the grain?

This gives me Bob Ross vibes

After lightly sanding the paint coat, I don't believe the panel dust was wiped. I'm sure it's the sanded dust that turned the glaze color

Also, please tag this video with #cerusing so it shows up with your others. This is the video I wanted, and it just so happened to pop up on my feed and not by my clicking the tag as I had already tried before. Thank you so much for these instructional videos!

Why can't you just use colored stain!

Love this. You should do a video on a vibrant purple and black or like a teal and black ceruse. If I could message you directly I would show you some examples.

Very helpful. Thank you Wes.

I think u can make glaze. Anyone know how?

Have you ever done a video of the ceruse process with no color? Meaning the glass over wire-brushed oak? If so, can you provide the link?

How long should a 2x4 screw be?

Probably too late to ask and this might be a dumb question: Does the wire brush use on the grain ruin the wood? Or can they be repainted later with one color or taken down to the bare wood and restained after this process?

Watching from the UK. What precisely is the "Glaze paint" that you use?

Wes, I don't have a paint shop or a good sprayer to paint the doors. Would I be able to paint with a good brush or roller and get the finish I need to have and then put the glaze on and get a good finish.

I painted my oak bathroom cabinets with white paint several years ago. Am I able to just wire brush them and then glaze with the black or do I need to remove the white paint. I can't remember what kind of paint I used, does this matter? (all I know is that it was a water based paint 2 coats)I am hoping I can just brush them and glaze, or do I have to remove the existing paint?I appreciate your time

Why did you mix it with lacquer?

Nice! I like the black and the white. You will be glad to know I’ve been cerusing like crazy since watching and learning from you. 😃 I’ve been building Christmas presents since I have so many to do. I’ve been using stain and dyes, I can see I need to get and try the glaze. Thank you Wes!

Can you do this with oak chairs? I'm guessing you can, but.... is their an easier way than wire-brushing all those dowels and round edges to still make the grain stand up and have the texture? I don't know, maybe it isn't as hard as I'm imagining and nothing ventured nothing gained! lol Thanks!

I've been watching these videos, trying to figure this process out. You had mentioned that sealant was key. I have been trying to figure out when the sealant should be applied. I think this video answered that question. Sealant before glaze. I like the black one better.

Just wanted to say that your voice is so relaxing! Great video! New subscriber

lol at the end of the video, when you held up the comparison between the white & black, on the white 1 there was a silly whimsical looking man's face, with the expression of indifference which made me chuckle & HAVE to comment! Things like THAT make me jealous of artistic people. I WISH I could draw & express the visions which appear in my loony mind! lol Have a great 2022 EVERYONE!!!

Can you paint color on with a brush

I can not find the ML Campbell glaze products anywhere in my area or online to buy. Can you suggest another brand that works the same and will give the same effects for cerusing as ML Campbell. One of your videos you mentioned that you use to use Benjamin Moore Glaze. Thank you and can’t wait to try this on my cabinets!

We’d, I am attempting to do this on my kitchen cabinets but not having great results. Can’t get ML Campbell products anywhere around here. What is the best type of primer. Can I use a “paint/primer” in one? Is it a regular flat type finish? Flat seems to absorb the glaze too much and I tried an eggshell finish paint over primer abc that seals the wood grain and just makes a regular antique finish, which I don’t want. I’m going on 3rd try and am running out of time to get this right!!

What ML Campbell product did you use for the blue? I have Ben using EU style waterborne PU but I don't like the finished mill thickness. Before I was using AcromaPro Matador but it's a PIA to use.

Wes, Love all your videos, makes me think I can do it too! i want to update my golden oak cabinets in my kitchen. but cerusing them may be overwhelming to the senses. So, I was wondering if you ever did a combination of perhaps cerus frames and filled interior or visa versa and your thoughts on how that might look for say, all the uppers.

So why can't you use regular paint not a Glaze paint

What do you spray on for top coat?

I love your work. Can I buy the paint and glaze at Sherwin Williams? If so what do I ask for. I would like to do a gray and white or black and white looks nice also. :)

Awesome video, I like both of them but I'll go more for the blue and black.

Hello Wes! Love your channel.. quick question.. can you ceruse any type of wood? Cedar..Pine etc.., or just Oak? Thank you if you respond.

Mr. Wes, this is my new favourite channel.

Ugg, I wish I had seen this years ago before I polyurethaned my cabinets, I think it would be too hard to get down to grain now. I think I would try a tone on tone antique white.

Thanks for the videos can't wait to try out this process on a small oak hutch. Liked the dark glaze👍

Hello my friend I am an engineer from Jordan. I love woodwork and I work in this field. I have a great passion and I love my work very much, and I always aspire to learn more. Unfortunately, the tools in Jordan are very limited, and I buy from Amazon sometimes, but with shipping costs a lot. I prepared every video of you and I love the way you work very much. Can I, if I travel to America, work for you for free and help you to learn and benefit from your experience? I have been working in this field for 8 years, but the level of woodworking in Jordan is very poor, so I will buy tools from America that are not in Jordan. I hope you accept this thing. I am currently working on expanding my work and you will help me a lot if you accept this thing. I will thank you for the rest of my life

Wes I'm a professional painter (semi 🚛 trucks ) me and wife were toiling overr what to do as we remodel our kitchen thanks to you we are getting it done knowing how to paint trucks is one thing with your helpful videos made life alot easier thank you again and God bless thanks very happy

Great video and very inspiring. Is there a way to get these great results without an air compressor and sprayer? Can the primer and sealer be applied with a brush or applicator? Also, how would you recommend finishing the back side of the cabinet door - I don't imagine The whole process is necessary for the back?

Unbelievable Wes! I will keep you posted with what colors I choose for my dining room suite! Thanks so much, this is exactly the look I was going for!

Could you provide a list of materials that you use

Hi Wes! Question, how do I know how deep I should wire brush? Meaning, can you wire brush too deep? I have done this but I feel like there are a lot of wire grooves that appear is the soft area of the wood now. Did I brush too deep? Thank you so much in advance - I truly enjoy your tutorials. :)

As you said normally you would also paint the backsides of the doors. Would you also glaze the back of the doors?

Thanks for another wonderful video. Could you show how to make over dark cherry cabinet? Or keep the cabinet color but make it look good. What would you do?

Now I found! Tnks!!

Do you have a community page or link I can send you a link of what I'm up against? Thank you.

Thank you Wes, I guess if it’s veneered one has to be careful with the wire brushing?

Where can you buy the glaze? Is it found at local hardware store? Home depot? Lowes?

I'm totally jumping into the world of cerusing because of your videos! Thanks for making it seem doable 💜 *Have you or anyone following done a white base with a colored glaze, like blue chip?* I want more white with a little color accent. Will probably need to experiment but I don't wanna spend money on another glaze.

Love your channel. Do I need a certain stiffness or type of wire brush to do this and do you know if there’s possibly a tool or attachment that could be used to get the same result? Old joints lol

Hi Sr. after this job need it put on some seller coat, or may be some clear coart to protect it ? thanks

I like them both, what time will y'all get here and who needs coffee and who needs sweet tea!

I love you Videos man! Subscribed right away! I have a problem though, I’m trying to replicate my clients floor color on his stairs, but no meter what i do its not the same, its wire brush finish with ash like color with yellowish tone, i wish i could show you pictures, or email them to you, I’m trying to ask everyone i can, I’m desperate at this point…

I like the black

Can I ask what is the make\model of paint sprayer it is youre using?

Thank you so much for doing a blue color.

What glaze is on that greenish door you started with? It looks lovely!

What about the glaze color. Are there other colors besides white and Black?

Great video 👍🏼 Wes is a good teacher.

Can we use stain instead of glaze?

Beachy effect gonna try for a drift wood ish look soon thanks for all the helping!

I love you!

I really want to do this blue and grey to my bottom set and a white and gray to the top set for my new house on the lake. The entire house is trimmed out in golden oak cabinets, baseboards and even headers in the living room and I think this would be a magical difference. Originally my wife wanted to have glen guard or similar come in snd just dark all the stain to a more modern color stain and I really want some color instead. This seems like a good compromise of keeping the wood grain and adding some flair

Me encanta su trabajo maestro, justo lo que andaba buscando. Muchas gracias espero me quede tan bonito como a usted. Bendiciones desde ciudad Obregón Sonora en México

good. good

I know those are samples but you triggered my OCD bad lololol looks great!

Really love watching your videos so relaxed and informative. Thank you

What if I don't like the grain in my honey oak custom cabinets? What process do I use? Ty

Can this be done on new doors? I'm making new doors on old boxes.

the white would look nice in a bath room w/ white fixtures

Can I use a wire brush attachment to a hand held orbital sander to cabinet boxes which cannot be taken down, like the doors??

CAN YOU PAINT OVER OAK CABINETS > OURS ARE MEDIUM BROWN < MY WIFE WANTS THEM WHITE ????

Does the paint you spray on first have to be lacquer?

👍I’m so going to do this technique on my kitchen cabinets! I want to do the white and black! Just beautiful!

Another brilliant video Wes! Thanks for sharing this great finishing technique with us 👌👌👌👌👌

How do you deal with the taped edges of the particle board cabinets? How do you get that to match?

Is there a way to add a grain to where there isn't one? I have some shaker style white cabinets

I love these videos so much. I'm going to do a hope chest. I hope it turns out as well.

Does this work well on walnut ? Thanks!
