nice one buddy!

Question: I am making shutters out of pine wood. Once I condition my pine wood, then stain it, do I need to seal it since it will be outside in the weather? Or can you buy stain that acts a sealer as well? Thankyou for the help

Thank you for sharing Tim...I built some recessed panel cabinet doors and the stickers..(styles\rails)..were pine..I used a raised panel bit on my router table to get the profile....I used a stain conditioner..non-to mention the brand but it sounds like winwax...when I stained the portion that was end grain it came out blotchy...on all the doors..any tips for end grain staining where you have to you have to use a panel raising bit across the grain?..thanks again for your expertise!!

How would Maple absob water stain, since it is closed grain? Would it be easy for a beginner?

thanks

I wonder what chemicals you have on the rag?

[donaldo1954]

@PainterForHireVids Really? Just read the can, whatever is in the product is going to get on the rag.

I heard you can use water and it works just as well as conditioner. Is sanding between absolutely necessary?

thanks

I can't believe water would work. It would raise the grain. Why not try it, and report back. Tape a video of the entire process just as I did and upload it as a video response to mine. I'll approve it to show all.

@omegapointil water can be used when you are using a water based dye stain

and you can spray water on the wood to pre rais the grain before you apply any water based finish, a quick 220 grit sanding will clear up the raised grain in no time

When I used a pre-sanding sealer on pine, I was never able to get the Minwax Early American stain dark enough, even after multiple coats. Obviously I put too much sealer, but I don't know how to control that. I did it exactly like you did in the video. More information would be helpful.

With soft woods, if you sand with a 120 grit and as high as 180 on the end grain before you stain you will get a nice even colour.

Rosewood might be worth of a conditioner and cherry as they teand to not take stain even no matter what you do.

[RLTromble]

What other woods would you use it on?

[AsktheBuilder]

Any wood. Always test the effect on a scrap piece of the wood. Do the test just as I did in the video so you see the with and without effect.

When you wipe them off, does the towel have any chemical on it or you just use a plain towel.

[AsktheBuilder]

When wiping the stain, you bet the towel or rag has chemicals on it!
