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.

I wanted to try a ceramic coating on my refurbished oak dining table. I went with the platinum base coat for my first try with the top coat as well. So easy to apply with no harsh smells. I couldn't be happier with the final results. Big expense upfront but if you are into making tables like myself then it is worth every penny. A lot goes a long way.
Recently used the new Blackforest ceramic coating on a black walnut dining table, my customer wanted protection from scratches and spills but to keep the touch of feel of the beautiful wood. They loved the turnout and from a maker’s standpoint the ease of application is great and fast drying times as well,
thanks guys,great product!
Used it on a couple live edge coffee tables and they turned out great. Started with Rubio monocoat and added the ceramic on top
Very interesting product
Used it on some small projects
Very durable result
-is it food safe?
-can I get it to higher gloss?
Tks,will order some more
One of the few products I've tried that is actually as good as advertised and just as easy to apply as they say! Makes an oil finish virtually waterproof and protects against scratches. I've had this on my family table (that my 2 and 4 year old use every day) for 6 months now and it still looks brand new! Put this on a table for my in laws as well with the same experience
