    Default Staining

    Hi everyone, im new to this so take it easy on me.lol. I make a lot of pine furniture therefore do a lot of staining. Just wondering if anyone can let me know of any places in the Newcastle area for buying stain at cheaper prices then hardware stores such as bunnings.

    even better then this would be some advice on mixing your own stains?

    Thank you

    Coffee is good on Pine. Just buy some ground coffee from your local supermarket and boil it in a saucepan and apply it hot or cold. You can deepen the colour by how much coffee you put in the mix and more coats the darker it will be. You only need to make up the amount you need for a particular job..this actually works and its cheap.
    Tea is supposed to do the same thing but I have never tried that..
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John
