Antique White Rub'n Buff / alternative

[Bonnie Swanson]

I can't find any white Rub'n Buf, does anyone know if this is really discontinued? Any other tips for this newbie you can offer as a replacement for Rub'n Buff on wood plaques?

Bonnie,

It seems to be available several places on-line. All three of these also have brick-and-mortar stores, so it might also be available there, if they are in your neighborhood.

Thanks Gary, all 3 sites indicate out of stock for white. Anything you can use as a replacement.

There's one vendor on amazon with a 12-color set that includes the white. Search for the 12 color sampler set.

Hi Bonnie,

Sorry - I didn't read the sites carefully enough. It does look the product may have been discontinued, but here are a few sites that claim to have stock remaining.

As for a substitute, you might look at DecoArt's Metallic Lustre. They have a "White Frost" shade:

Hope this helps.

Note that DecoArt’s product is water-based, which is different from Rub’n’buff. It does work well but goes on a little differently. Practice on scrap first.

Bonnie,

I have one tube of Antique White 76366F Rub'n Buff that is still in the package unopened.
You can have it if you pay the shipping.

[Bonnie Swanson]

Appreciate that very much. Will try the water based product. Was really looking for an alternative product.

[Bonnie Swanson]

Thank you all. Will try the water based product, was also trying to find an alternative so will give that a go. Just weird I thought to discontinue white...

[Bonnie Swanson]

Thanks, ordered all 10 from Guiry’s!

Keith,



I came across this thread and your offer to the OP because I had the same question as her. Since Bonnie ultimately ordered online, I wonder if you still have your antique white rub & buff and, if so, whether you might be willing to extend a similar offer to me. Please let me know either way! :) Thanks

Alisha,

I would be glad to but it was shipped to someone else months ago.
Sorry

FINALLY found something that works just like rub n buff antique white. Can hardly tell the difference even the consistency is about the same!!!! I am so excited....It rubs off the same way and has the same effect!!!! Have gone through so many products trying to find a good replacement.
