Prepare Whitewash Mixture

so we started this staining process in here i'm going to show you um the fur you know starting one from bare wood but i got one right here that's gray one that's already got the white wash look on it and in order to start it off we stained them gray i just purchased a went down to a paint store purchased a color of stain that i chose rustic gray it's three one three one three three rustic gray that's actually a sherwin-williams color and i'm using just a regular stain brush to actually just brush that stain on and then wipe it right off we're letting it dry for two hours and then going right over the top of it we took an interior paint and i got a color called it's incredible white two eight and we added we took a quart of that white and added about three tablespoons of faux impressions glaze and this glaze right here is just giving us more working time so when we apply the paint on we have more time to work it and get it off so it doesn't dry too fast because it soaks into this wood and dries extremely fast so the glaze is just giving us some working time and these planks and you just kind of just take off as much glaze as you want to get the look that you want and you can leave more or the paint leave more leaves less depending on how how i paint or how white you want it so i'm going to give you a close-up view of what it looks like right now so i've got one of the boards got one
