Apply Plaster – apply to the wall with a 6? putty knife, pat the wet plaster with a trowel, and knock down with your 6? putty knife. This is what gives the plaster pattern & texture." I can't quite picture this. I did look on the Behr site for clarification but I'm not sure what "knock down with a putty knife" looks like. I believe this technique would work in a bathroom wallpaper removal nightmare that left less than smooth walls. I'm am so happy I found your site. I think I might actually be able to do some of your techniques. One other question involves the Briwax. I would like to use it over natural wood kitchen cabinets with a factory finish (not varnish) to darken overall and to leave more pigment in recessed areas. Please tell me I can use it for this purpose. It sounds too good to be true. Also, I would like to use the Zinsser sealer product on my island then put some base colors down, wax, paint over all, rub off and apply the Briwax to antique as per you instructions. Should I then add poly over this? If so, should I use a wipe- on poly or paint on. If paint on, do use a foam or regular brush. Thanks so much. Jan …”1.
