Instruction video on the use of wood stain.

[sillydanaa]

you don't wear goggles or a mask while applying stain? is it safe to be around/breathing in?

[jityr2]

Does wood stain come in a variety of colors?

[elmonoborracho]

Hey, I'm watching various videos on staining wood right now. I noticed that you don't mention wiping down the stain after a few minutes. Why is that?

[tmadero79]

[art7s77]

Was it varnish that you use to stain the wood??

And also when you finish staining the wood do you need to put some type of finisher on top ??

[MarcoTUV]

Hi seems like water wood stain

sheens because is still wet

optional is oiling wood after dying gives a nice shine!

[LadyFantasy]

I'm ready to stain my unfinished oak cabinets to a red mahogany now :D, thanks!

-You think I could use a foam brush instead of a rag? Or is the rag just better?

...Oh and btw, I actually loved the music.

To each their own, right? ;)

[wstoner]

I like the rag better. I have used the foam brushes before and they seem to be kinda "foamy" (lots of bubbles in the stain) I recently refinished or repaired the finish on several antique pieces for auction. I had a table and chairs, several end tables and some shelves an old school desk and a full antique cherry bedroom set. After I went over them with the stain to fix the problem areas I waited for that to dry and went over the whole piece with a rub-on polly to seal fo a nice finish. Thanks

[dragonssarereal]

bye the way  the music sucks!! no offence intented cheers.

[wstoner]

Yeah I know I was in a hurry and just added it without listening to it first, no offence taken :)

BTW Oak is one of my favorite of the hard woods next would be cherry. There is a finish coat that has been out for a year of so here that puts about an 1/8 inch of a hard plastic like coating on the finished wood. I think I am going to try it in the kitchen and see how it wears.

[dragonssarereal]

wstoner i must fly you over to somerset in england uk , so that you can finish my oak planked floors in my 16th century manor house as you are goood! .

[wstoner]

I do love the way wood looks when finished. I also restore antique furniture that has been damaged. I am planning on learning some techniques to repair original antique finish. It is always better to keep the original finish as opposed to applying a new one.

[efplanetvideos]

Great tutorial by the way. Good job!

[wstoner]

I don't know why I picked that music for the video. Glad you liked the tutorial maybe someday I will get around to showing the finished kitchen lol.

[efplanetvideos]

Just stained some pine with your method. Thanks again!

[efplanetvideos]

What's up with the "Braveheart" music?

[SlickXJr]

the "hi guys" kinda scared me a lil bit but this helps

thanks

[wstoner]

Yeah that was kind of a joke geared toward a few other friends here on YouTube :)

[clanceman]

thans bill. very helpfull

[Perroquet51]

Hey Bill! I found this video just in the nick of time! I'm going out today to buy doors that will need to be stained. What timing!

[wstoner]

Thats great! I am getting ready to refinish my antique front door soon. Maybe in the next week or two. Watch out for the stain that has the poly mixed into it. I don't like the results you get and it seems kinda sticky.

[TYEZ]

What about using a bush then wiping down with a rag?

[wstoner]

You can do it that way also just watch that your brush does not leave bristles on the wood. Some stains will run with brushes and leave a streak on lighter woods. I sometimes use brushes to get into corners or for trim that is already mounted.

[Jazzeerun]

Added notes for the newcomers: Stain with the grain. Test the stain in an inconspicuous area. I find the slow drying regular polyurethane sealer to be less streaky than the faster ultra-fast sealers and it requires fewer coats. Thanks for the video.

[wstoner]

Thanks for the great comment. I like the slower drying also.

[preacherman777]

You need to have your own home improvement show.

[Bree5]

Good Job!....I have a rocking chair that I need to do...you think that would work better than a brush on there?....loved the music by the way too! :)

[wstoner]

I'm sure it would. Use a clean lint-free cotton rag. I like to use old towels or washclothes. And be sure to wear gloves. I usually put on a coat of stain then go wipe over it with another clean cloth then when the first coat dries apply another coat of stain and wipe over it again with the clean cloth. After the 2nd coat dries you wil want to use some type of sealer. They sell a polly coat that you can rub on with a cloth. Makes a super finish.

[Bree5]

Gee...thanks for all the help!... :)

[PHATSASSY]

Thanks for the rag tip,I always used a brush...

[ZenArcher]

okee okee.. so what your saying is my way of pour it on.. brush it off is maybe NOT the recomended method? hehe! Good job.. til next time.. Be Well! ~ Zen Archer

[wstoner]

Thats great :) I have also heard of people doing the "dip" method where they dip the piece in stain and then just let the extra run off. In the old days the furniture makers would only stain the parts that were on the front of the piece.

[SeeVeeBee]

Thanks Norm..;)
