yes I'm with you - I too in a previous life was an interior painter and I agree 100% about using the best brushes (I'm a Wooster silver tip fan myself!) because of how the paint flows evenly through the bristles - but as you rightly say, for these kinds of random effects you don't need that - so the cheaper the rougher the better!!

Brilliant! Ive watched at least 10 vids in the last couple days. Ive followed other tutorials but I always run into a detail that was not explained in that video and then ultimately end up not pleased with the results. The timing of using the white wash and the drying effect it has on the wet stain is a great detail to know. This is the simplest and easiest to follow so far. There are so many subtle details that never get explained like the types of brushes or time in between coats...waiting to dry or not. Everything was explained and addressed! The look is perfect!

@eltomas36347 жыл бұрын
Nice work. One big tip I can give anyone who is into finishes on wood is on how to get light colored woods like pine and dense grained woods to take on more tint , dye, or color. Light colored woods do not take stain well and the stain is almost always splotchy and not uniform in color. Going over and over the wood with more stain does not work well at all, nor does letting it sit for hours. Multiple stains coatings do not work well at all because stains contain a solvent, either water or oil, this is why the stain is a liquid, the color is suspended in the liquid and once you apply it, the solvent evaporates leaving behind the color. The problem occurs when you add new wet stain on top of the old stain. The solvent in the stain is going to dissolve the stain you have already applied. So all you are doing is erasing what you have already done and doing it again. This is not true with stains that are a combination of stain and top coat, like polyurethane. Those combination stains act more like paint than stain and they will cover and darken but they will also hide your wood and defeat the purpose of staining wood, which is to bring out the wood look. To solve most all of these issues, use ordinary clothing dye like Rit dye to dye the wood first before applying stain. You can get Rit dye at Walmart or Target in powder form or liquid. Rit dye comes in many colors and you can blend the basic colors to create unlimited colors. Mix the rubbing alcohol, which is isopropyl alcohol, with the Rit dye. Use the 90% rubbing alcohol if you can get it. You can also use denatured alcohol or even vodka or Everclear liquor which is ethyl alcohol. I personally haven't tried it but vinegar may work as well, test a similar piece of wood to find out. But remember, vinegar is an acid. Grab a few extra wood paint stirrers from your paint store, they make excellent testing and experiment strips. What you are essentially creating is a giant Sharpie marker in the color of your choice.Use red solos cups for mixing. Make an applicator out of a tshirt or polyester cloth wrapped around a ball of cloth. Get it saturated but not dripping. Sometimes the Rit dye will break down into a different shade than what you started with because of the alcohol. For example, "dark brown" Rit will become purple when diluted with alcohol, just like a marker. Don't worry, the wood stain will make it brown again, very brown. Unlike stain, the more you go over the wood with the Rit dye alcohol mixture, the darker the wood will get, just like using a Sharpie on paper. If certain areas are too dark, use a clean rag with clean alcohol only to lighten up the area. The end grain of the wood will always take on more dye and stain, so too prevent this, wet the end grain with clear alcohol first before using the tinted alcohol and Rit. Despite the illusion that the stain and alcohol dye is soaking deep into the wood, it does not penetrate very deep at all and can almost always be sanded out. Make sure every inch of your wood is sanded to the same smoothness or you will have splotches. Water, alcohol, and even oil based stains will swell up the wood grain and make it raise up diminishing your last sanding. To minimize the wood grain raising, use clean alcohol or water first, then knock the grain back down with sandpaper. If you do this a few times, the wood grain will eventually stop raising up. This will greatly reduce splotchyness and make the shades more even. One other big tip is to apply the stain with sandpaper. Use the wet/dry sand paper and dip it into the stain or dye and rub it into the wood. Use either the same grit paper you last used or use the final grit you want. When the sandpaper is wet, the stain and dye will act as a lubricant and you can actually feel the sandpaper smoothing the wood as you sand while applying the stain or dye. You can feel the sand paper working and you can hear the sound change when the wood is smoothed. If you are using an open pore wood, such as oak, the slurry of fine sanding dust that you will create by sanding in the stain will fill the open pores and will match way better than any wood filler you can use. If you use rubber gloves, you can smear the slurry and work it into the open pores. Just remember, anything you use before the stain is cured, set, or coated will dissolve your filled pores and your layer of stain. Even if you are going to apply a clear protective top coat with a brush or rag or sponge, I highly recommend that you use a spray on clear coat first. Use either the same type as your brush on clear coat or one that is compatible with your clear top coat. Once the thin sprayed on top coat is dry, your staining job will not be dissolved by the solvents in your top coat. Brushing on clear coat can dissolve your stain and open your pores you have filled. a thin, spray on clear coat will protect your color. You can also apply stain to end grain wood extremely gradually with very small amounts with an almost dry brush so it will not get too dark, then spray on a clear coat so the end grain will not soak up any more stain. I learned a lot of this stuff the hard way. I hope it helps someone.
