Staining
« on: May 06, 2011, 05:14:34 PM »
Hi, does anyone have a link to a few staining video's maybe? I have seen Andy's Ash bowl of course, but a few more would be great. I cant get mine to blend together properly at all.

I'm assuming you are using a 'Spirit Stain' here;

Thin your stain a little with something like meths. then if you've a slightly strong line where two colours meet, put a but of the meths on a cloth or paper tissue and rub gently. If you want a blend over a smaller area, try a paint brush with meths as well.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!
