Hi, I have been looking for a wood project so I could bring out my Unicorn Spit and let my creative juices flow! I love this product so much! If you love wood and colors, this stuff is for you!

I lucked out and found this oar that someone had put out on trash day! It was a little dirty but I knew this was a great find!

Step 1- I knew I was going to use Unicorn SPit stain on this piece so I sanded all the gunk off and got it down to the bare wood.

This is it bare..

Step 2-I had to decide which colors of Unicorn Spit I was going to use. Lucky me, I have all 10 of the original colors!

Step 3- I decided on 4 colors(Pixie Punk Pink, Blue Thunder, Zia Teal and White Ning).

I squirted out the colors the way I wanted them, Sprayed the project with water to help spread the Spit and I used my hand and wiped across to blend the colors together.

This is what it looked like after I spread it all the way down the oar!

Step 4- After it dried(which is in less than 30 minutes) I lightly sanded the oar.

Step 5-I decided to put a little quote on it. I used Unicorn Spit Midnight Blackness. I used to coats of this color because I wanted it use it as a paint not a stain. (Another reason this product is so great, Versatality!!!

Step 6-After that dried I put 3 coats of OIL BASED POLYURETHANE! This step is essential because Unicorn Spit is water based so it MUST be sealed with an oil based product.
