Hiya! Does this work for any of their particleboard desk tops with veneers? The one i have is the Målskytt 🤔

@rmari-sw4sm 6 ай бұрын

I have a IKEA Galant desk that has a rough wood veneer top. It's not smooth and feels like rough wood to the touch. Would I have to use a filler on top first and then stain or will I have to sand it smooth? Thanks.

yea a lot of vids are like "add a coat" and then skip to it all done

hey! thanks for the informative video. I was wondering if there are any types of sealants that dry matte rather than have a reflective gloss?

@MyProjectWeekend 10 ай бұрын

Of course! I have seen some polyurethane sealers that are matte, Varathane makes one. I’ve never used one so I can’t speak to how it looks. Satin will be the next choice for lower reflective sealers then gloss has the most shine.

would you recommend sealing the underside of the table or will it be safe from warping or cupping when only doing the top side alone?

@MyProjectWeekend 2 жыл бұрын

I personally wouldn’t seal the underside of the table. It’s mainly to protect the finish and area of the table that receives use. Unless the bottom of the table is seen or used I wouldn’t see a reason to seal it. Most tables I see don’t have a finish underneath.

Is it possible to minimize the excess stain so you can wipe lesser also can save some materials to cover more sections

@MyProjectWeekend Жыл бұрын

Yes I would just put less stain on the brush. A little goes a long way!

If I'd want to paint the table would I follow the first 2 steps? After sealing it prime it then paint it?

@MyProjectWeekend 7 ай бұрын

Hi there! If you want to paint the table you don’t need to seal it first. You can just prime it then paint it. Is the table unfinished wood?

@cutu4ever Жыл бұрын

Can you explain why each step is required? I’m trying to learn and also do 😅 Also, do all stains appear darker than they are? And if I use the seal on the same pine chairs from IKEA, would that work? Also, how do you calculate how much of each you need? For instance, this will be my only project that requires me to stain, sand, etc

Can I seal a standard, non-stained desk this way?

@MyProjectWeekend Жыл бұрын

Yes as far as I know any wood table can be sealed like this.

I agree! I used Varathane Dark Walnut. I think I put all the links to items I used in the description of the video. I ordered most of the items online however most big hardware stores should have everything as well.

What type of/level of sand paper should be used?

@MyProjectWeekend 10 ай бұрын

I used 220. both to sand the wood table and to sand the polyurethane after the first coat.

@colieyoung4805 28 күн бұрын

Do you sand after each finish coat?

@MyProjectWeekend 28 күн бұрын

No I only needed to sand after the first coat dried. Run your hand over it and it will feel bumpy or sandy. After I sanded down the first coat all the other coats were smooth.

Is the "sealer" the Polyurethane link?

Americans are too lucky, you have all the products required for such a good result. Here in europe we cannot do projects like these because they will end up blotchy and unprofessional. not to mention sticky

@@MyProjectWeekend We have high humidty but I can deal with that. What I cannot deal with is that its impossible to find high quality wood stain, without varnish in it. The ''pre-staion'' wood conditioner doesn't exist here either. and besides all that, there is only 1 kind of polyurethane available. Other finishes other oil finishes which are not the most resilient event though they bring out the wood nicely
