Can Gel Topcoat be used over regular white paint? i.e. - I painted a piece of furniture white and have Gel Topcoat left over from a Gel Stain project.

I don't know for sure but I would try it on a test area where it won't be seen. Their website does not say anything about painted wood.

No you have to use the LED light to cure gel products. If you have the light I know people who do use the gel top coat on regular polish I've never tried it though so I'm not sure if it works well.

See no reason why you couldn't paint it...depends on what type of paint but I would probably fine sand it first. I didn't really notice an odor beside new furniture smell.

I have not used this wax over white chalk paint, however, I have never noticed any color change when used over the light oak or dark walnut stains that I have used. I have used it to wax the stainless steel in-feed table on my planer and it acts like any good auto wax, without discoloration.

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish.Why I used this >> was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

Yes...I think it would work fine over white. I used it over an old dresser set that had been previously painted a light tan color and it covered perfectly.

HI JackYou can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties.However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete.RegardsMikeStone Technologies Corp423-503-4490

If you use a silver Sharpie as a primer, you can use any color over it on any background. I do it all the time. Hope this helps you to do what you want/need!

Lightly sand with fine paper ( 220 ) to remove the poly first. Any amount of sanding will also remove the old stain as well but it will be easy to even out with one coat of the gel stain and look great! Use a satin poly over that for a perfect finish.

You should try using a product called "Chalk Paint." It's excellent for refinishing furniture and I highly recommend it. It comes in a myriad of colors. Have fun!

Yes, in order to get the cabinets stained well I removed all screws. You need to do a light sanding anyway to remove the gloss finish. The gel goes a long way. I like the sock method to get gel on and it takes a couple of coats. However, I was able to buy a quart and did my kitchen and a bathroom.

I use this as a layer after I have applied color and finish off with Top coat gel

I would say no, this cannot be used as a top coat as well. They do seem very different. the top coat uses uv to cure and lock down the color coat. the base is used to attach the color coat to your nail. I would not recommend not getting all three types if you want to do gel nails.

I put this over Bedliner paint... I suppose it would work either way.. Just a preference on which top color you want.. This is light gray and a liner is black... I liked the light color better...but it definitely works!!! It is great product!!

Yes, you may sand the surface and apply topcoat once the original topcoat has had at least 24 hours to cure. Thank you for your question.

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

If I'm reading this correctly, you're applying the hard gel on top of color gel, which you're not suppose to do. This is meant to be used as a base or a builder gel.. Not like a top coat. If you were applying it on foundation gel or base coat then that would be fine. The color runs because it isn't cured long enough but it's suppose to be capped off with top coat.
