Unicorn SPiT 3 Cool Techniques Safe super vibrantly colorful gel/paint wood stain that looks outstanding! Many people use multiple colors in one project. I call it Magic in a bottle! This article covers 3 techniques anyone can do. Step by Step Process Spit is not exactly paint so it works different. It is described as paint, a glaze, and a gel stain all in one. But it doesn't work like paint that you are used too. It blends like melted butter. And it is natural for some of the wood to show through on completion. There is also a bit on how to seal because that is important to not make a mistake on that part. It recommends oil sealer a water-based sealer will re-ignite the water based spit. A lot of people ask this because they don't like the way oil sealers yellow the look. In the video I explain how you can do it with water based with a few preparations ahead of time.
