What makes our coatings different?
We are the Original Woodworking Ceramic Coating. Ceramic coatings have been around for years in the automotive industry, utilizing solvent based formulas. Not only are solvent formulas more hazardous to your health, they are not fully compatible with oil based finishes like the ones typically seen in woodworking. Excessive use of solvent based coatings will eventually strip the protective oil from your table. Our coatings are specifically formulated for use over woodworking finishes. By utilizing a water based formula, no damage is done to the oil underneath; the water simply evaporates after application, leaving the protective coating.
Typically, the protective ingredient found in ceramic coatings is SiO2 (silicon dioxide). However, in recent years, some incredible advancements have been made using Graphene as the protective ingredient, proving to be superior to SiO2. Therefore, all of the Black Forest coatings are made using Graphene.
Base Coat:
Durable and scratch resistant finish that reaches a thickness of 2-2.5 microns per layer. The 9H hard finish bonds and penetrates into the surface.
Gold: 1 year protection
Platinum: 2 year protection
Diamond: 5 year protection
Top Coat:
Improves the shine, smoothness and strength of the base coat.
Pair the Black Forest Ceramics Top Coat and Base Coat for additional protection. Can be reapplied yearly or bi-yearly to protect and extend the Base Coat Ceramic coating and hydrophobicity.

Definitely follow the directions. It goes on unlike any other finish I've used. I can't speak to it's long-term wear, but it made the surface way smoother and gave it a slick feel. It increased the sheen as well, but without looking plastic. It does indeed significantly increase it's ability to repel water, which is the main reason I bought it. The table that I put this on will be in a household with kids. This should help defend the top from those little monsters.
I would not recommend this product on end grain walnut. I had 4 coats of Osmos oil fully cured on table round 2x2 . Followed the directions which I watched multiple times, Could not get it to blend and it dulled the finish. Called the office for advice…”you have to buff before it dries”…which I tried with poor results. I gave the half bottle and the full bottle of top coat to a friend to try on a piece he is working on.
I’m just a hobbiest with many hobbies and decided to try something with wood and epoxy. Shipping was quick. Application was easy and looks great. I applied 3 coats of base and top coat.
Shipping was quick and packaged correctly. Even in bubble wrap. But the part a leaked a bit, the tops seemed tight but when I used it you could tell where it leaked and dried to the inside of the top and outside of the bottle.
Still had enough to do the project. Would order again. It works great!
I haven’t used it yet. Product labeling could be better/easier to read without a microscope, lol.
