Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do I need to start wood painting?

A good set of brushes (natural bristle for oil, synthetic for waterborne), 220–320 grit sandpaper, stirring sticks, lint-free rags, painter’s tape, and a clean mixing container. Courses list any extras.

Are your finishes safe for dining tables and toys?

We teach finishes commonly used on dining surfaces and toy projects. We outline cure times and safety guidelines. Always follow manufacturer labels and allow full cure before use.

How long should I wait between coats?

Depends on temperature, humidity, and product. We share typical windows (e.g., 2–6 hours for many waterbornes; 8–24 hours for oil-based) and how to test readiness with a light touch.

Do courses include lifetime access?

Yes. You keep access to updated lessons, checklists, and community notes for the course you purchase.

Can I get a refund?

We offer a 14-day refund window if you have not completed more than 25% of the course. Contact us with your order email.

Do I need a workshop to follow along?

No. Many lessons are designed for a balcony or garage. We explain ventilation considerations for each finish type.

What if I already painted furniture before?

Jump directly to intermediate or advanced modules. Our catalogs highlight prerequisites and outcomes for each course.

Can I enroll as a team or class?

Yes, we support group access. Contact us to arrange seats and shared checklists for your group.
