    Default Stain Types

    Hi all,

    I am going out on Saturday to buy some stain to finish of a pine entertainment unit in a Old Baltic sortof colour.

    I am going to use stain made by Protec as I am using thier lacquer.

    They have:
    - NGR stain
    - Toning Laqcuer
    - Wiping stain
    - Pigmented wiping stain
    - spray stain

    Which would be the easist to use/apply and give the most even finish :confused:

    PS: I have read on several threads during searching that a product called Feast Watson Fungishield is recommended to apply before the stain, has anyone actually used this and would you consider it essential ?

    Thanks
    Gary

    Hi Gazza

    I consider FW Fungishield a must on pine. Without it the stain does not apply evenly ... looks blotchy. This article by Les Miller should help you.

    If the protec product is a serious commercial stuff there will be a sealer for it.
    I'm going thru a laquer "process" myself at the moment & afere a chat with the tec rep I've come up with this.
    sand to 180 OR 250 if you must.
    apply the sanding sealer.
    cut back to 320
    apply a coat of finish with the stain in it
    cut with scotchbrite
    apply top coat clear.
    This will get arround the blotchy thing.

    This may or may not suit you.
    cheers
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
