Great old-time product for those with old-time patience.
I used RMP Tung Oil on a sanded 100 year-old heart pine bedroom floor. Good penetrating protection. Looking forward to easy spot maintenance. Floor's wear history is still evident. On my next floor, I will experiment with pre-staining to blend wear history. Great product, but patience is required on old wood prep. Be prepared to wait weeks for complete curing.

Hi David, thanks for your review and sharing your experience! We're sure the next person will appreciate the extra tips.
I got my sample paint dipsticks as expected and when expected. I am glad I got them before ordering paint, because not only is the color more reliable, but I can hold them up to see how the colors work where I want to use them.

Yes the sample paint sticks are a great tool to see how each color of milk paint appears when painted under various light conditions.
I am hoping the type of paint will produce the look I am wanting on a large kitchen island. The pictures in the gallery showed several that are very close to what I see in my mind. I like the idea of milk paint, no harmful fumes etc. The color sticks truly have me excited. I can see the actual colors on wood, though I will be painting poplar and birch. The instructional videos will be very helpful. I found the website very informative. I spent much tie studying, like any retired engineer would. Looking forward to getting my products and using them.

We are here to help with any questions you have as your project moves forward. The paints are available in sample sizes of all 56 colors should you actually want to paint small swatches on your poplar and birch wood to see how the colors will look before launching into the full kitchen island project.
The website is easy to use, every interaction with RMP was friendly, efficient, and all around pleasant, everything shipped quickly and was packed well, and most importantly the product; I have made my own finishing products for a long time but due to personal reasons I can not do that any longer. I’ve tried many different things before being referred to RMP. I got their half and half, and their wood wax. These are easily the best finishing products I’ve tried thus far, and the only ones that could hang with my homemade products. I’m very happy with them, and will happily recommend anyone else try them as well!

Wow! Thanks for the praise of our Half & Half and Wood Wax. It means a lot to us that you would use our products on your handcrafted pieces, and also recommend them to others.
Customer service is very helpful. This was my first experience with milk paint and when I needed some assistance, they were quick to respond and with their help, my projects turned out great.

Thank you! We enjoy helping our customers with questions and walking them through various steps of painting and finishing their home projects!
Both items delivered within the time frame indicated. Have not tested either product but based research on other similar products, many client reviews and the company's detailed information, I am a looking forward to testing each product on separate charcuterie boards

We'll look forward to hearing how you like the all-natural, food safe Half and Half and Wood Wax products. Those were the right choices for your boards.
looking forward to using your product. Very much appreciate the Veteran discount! thank you. My only critique is when I search your website the colors don't come up for the milk paint

Hi Matt, thanks for the review and the helpful feedback about our site functionality!
Found what I was looking for but had a couple problems to overcome navigating thru the website order process. I prefer to call in an order and talk to a real person.

I found out about the wax I bought while Googling how to fix a sticky drawer. Their blog explained it and then I bought the wax and presto, it worked. It came quickly and was very easy to use. I also bought wax to protect our cutting boards and utensils, and appreciate how clearly food safety is indicated in the site and on the labels.

Thank you for the review, Ari! We're so glad that our product and website were able to help you!
I saw your company name up in a couple google searches I conducted, so I've ordered your project to see how it does. I'm that idiot that left gardening tools outside for some months and now I'm looking for a way to treat the wood to preserve their usefulness. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thank you for the 5-star review, and we hope that you love it!
Products arrived well packaged and were of excellent quality. Ordered sample sizes and I will be ordering larger quantities for my projects. Thank you for an excellent product and service.
