So glad I found this vid.. I was about to spend a fortune on different colored wood stains for my carvings 😊
JazzyJada- You are welcome! Thank you!!
I'm so happy I came across this video. I subscribed. You explain clearly and patiently. I was just going to swipe undiluted paint on an unstained kitchen cart and never knew to mix with water. I have a much less chance of messing up now. Thank you!!!
85Nikki- You're welcome!
This individual lives and breathes to stain wood
I respect it
Try it out- get some sample wood and paint it up first.
Very soothing voice and music, I was asleep at the 4 min mark
Mr. Gbustamante, I am smiling because, I love peaceful things and if the video relaxed you, and you fell asleep with my voice, I should make some "ASMR" relaxing crafting videos. Thank you Mr. G^^
This technique WORKS!!! I applied it to a cheap craft jewelry box from target and it made it a beautiful walnut color, you can still see the grain, AND the grain didn't even pop and ruin the surface texture! Absolutely amazing tutorial. It took me 10-20 minutes to do the whole thing.
" Absolutely amazing tutorial "- Hilarybareiss- I thank you.
Thanks for sharing...u don't knw u solved my query in such a easy way
I have never considered this, amazing results!
TSYDNYK thank you!! I hope your project comes out awesome.
Great tips! Thank you!
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.
this guy is a hero
And a hero's thank you to you Patricknelson!
That is great job thank you for sharing 🌸🌸🌸
Thannaahassan- You're welcome
That was lovely... Thank you for sharing 😊
Ayesha Azhar ~ You're welcome!
SO glad I found this video! Im working on refurbishing a vintage vanity at the moment where I'm staining certain parts of the wood in different colours, and although for one part I will be using traditional oil based wood stain, it was giving me a massive headache researching ways to stain with multiple different colours next to each other without the stain bleeding but I'm going to use this technique to do the lighter colours. Thank you for posting this! also I love the way you talk in your videos, your voice is so calming :)
Midnightsightings~ Honored. Thank you and glad you love it. My voice , I am a college professor also, and many of my students say that my voice is so calming, they have trouble staying awake in class. Also, I was asked to be a voice over for a book that was published years ago, a music dictionary. I read over 4,000 different music terminologies for a CD. Thank you again.
That's easy. Thanks very much
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for sharing this staining technique! Would this apply if I use a grain filler first? You are definitely my go-to for out of the box Wood finishing techniques thank you again because I can use this on many different projects!
Andrew Vitale ~ Sorry for the late reply. Very late in fact. Wood filler is made with a poly-sync resin and if the filler is stain absorbent, it will color the filler as well. I would do a test run on a spare piece of wood first and see if the paint will absorb into the filler.
Love the results! Great job. Do you mind sharing where to purchase those paper towels and mixing trays you used?
Debbie - Hello. That is very easy to answer. The paper towels are the recycled brand found in any supermarket. You can use Bounty or any absorbent paper towel and the trays- are nothing more than recycled Styrofoam fruit containers under the fruit like bananas or grapes. If you don't have those were you are- I would suggest using a thrown our flat plastic TV dinner tray. They work well with acrylic paints. And are free if you find in the recycle bins.
Excellent video! One question if you have a chance to reply. Is it important to use artist paint or can any acrylic paint be watered down to get the same staining effect you achieved? I have given up trying to find an off-the-shelf tan/beige/light brownish stain for my pine wood trim in my bedroom. I will need about one quart for the entire project, which is why I'm asking about using a larger quantity acrylic paint. Thanks much for your help!
Richard-I apologize for the late late answer. I teach at a university and our semester just got underway so I am busy. Here is my reply. To do such a large project with a quart of acrylic, it can be watered down- just know that the color intensity will be lost. So you have have a lighter shade of color. Also when you add water, the wood will absorb the water. So the stain is not pure and dry. I would suggest buying whatever color you like- do a test piece of wood- and then if it works- do the whole bathroom. Check it first- then proceed. A quart of acrylic is available on places like Frank's Crafts and I think HobbyLobby may still sell it in large quantities.
Much appreciated!
i have acrylic paints, and just finished hand carving my very own guitar... nothing like trying to do my own version of teaburst on it. thanks 🙏
Wow. hand carved a guitar, wow. That is an amazing project. - I am very glad you found something on the channel that you could use for your project.
@@pingandkvam😊 Cool Colours ,but Water raises the grain & takes longer to Dry than reg.wood Stain. Which is thinner based. ie; Lacquer/ mineral spirits. I'll remember this Technique in video.😊
Olive green was my favorite
I think mine too!
Hi, great video! Thank you for this! I do have a question. I'm trying this technique on small wooden pieces for Christmas crafts. I'm not sure the wood type. It's doing great on most of the wood, but there are some areas that simply will not absorb any paint, so my pieces are looking patchy and not so pretty. Do you know why and can I do anything to fix it?
Hi Madjackie- The wood you are using is very important. If its not pine, or soft wood, it will not absorb 100%, I suspect you may have a hard wood you are using. What you are seeing is possibly 'knots' in the wood. The patches are resistant areas caused by other types of wood as say in oak. Only an absorbing stain like Sherwin Williams that uses heavy solvents can cover the 'knots'.
Any tip for a color wood one.. I have a table that have like a brown orange color (wood color) ... But I want to give it a soft grey ish/white ish ....
Kriiiizztal Gaming, is the table coated with a varnish? Or is the wood just a natural brown orange?
How would you go about sealing the wood for outdoor use afterwards without ruining the colours? Hoping to use this technique on my tiki bar!
BeckyRitchie1430 ~ Hello, I would use a spray or paint UV protecting lacquer clear coat finish. There are many kinds of protecting lacquer clear coats, but check to see if they are UV protecting. Read the labels carefully, I do believe Sherwin Williams paints carries the product you are looking for.
Nice👍🏻…I want to acrylic paint my ukulele,but it’s stained & also I applied lemon oil before…what is the easiest & best way to get rid both before painting it?
The lemon oil could be removed using DAWN dishwashing liquid and some water. Try a small small area first like on the back where no one would see it- and see if it removes the oil first. Then dry with paper towels. If you succeed in removing the oil- you can then stain it with the acrylics.
Love this technique! Is it safe to do pyrography ( woodburning)!over this stain? Does acrylic not give toxic fumes? ‘
CreativeCheersoffashionlau,~Hello, thank you for loving the technique. That is good question. I do not know.
@@pingandkvam thanks for your reply! I will keep on researching !
@@creativecheersoffashionlau7364 My best suggestion would be - whatever brand of Acrylics you are using, check the label and see if there is a company telephone number to call on there- or a website, and just shoot an email and ask.
@@pingandkvam Good idea! I will do that. Thanks!
@@creativecheersoffashionlau7364 Acrylic paint is made from a synthetic resin binder called acrylic polymer emulsion. Basically liquid plastic. I wouldn't recommend burning it unless you are in a ventilated area and wearing an organic vapor p100 respirator.
Since you have not applied Gesso, how is the durability, do you count on the soaking into the wood for durability? The paint has nothing to grip onto.
Do you sand all wood, before staining or scuff the wood??
Would priming with gesso ruin the stain effect??
Could you apply a lacquer or varnish top coat to help "seal" the staining effect?
Hope you have time give and suggestions or feedback with regard to the above questions, I want the "stain effect to have durability.
Yakkyuu ~ Hello, sorry for delay in my response it was a busy two weeks. Here are the answers:
1)Since you have not applied Gesso, how is the durability, do you count on the soaking into the wood for durability? The paint has nothing to grip onto. ( Gesso is used for canvases. The soaking in of the paint is 100%. The wood becomes a sponge. And the fibers of the wood grip the staining)
2) Do you sand all wood, before staining or scuff the wood?? ( No, sanding needed, if the wood is raw. If the wood was coated with a lacquer first, that is the incorrect wood for the staining)
3) Would priming with gesso ruin the stain effect?? ( Yes, you'd have a white wash plus stain and it wouldn't look like stain at all, but an artificial paint job coating the natural wood patterns)
4) Could you apply a lacquer or varnish top coat to help "seal" the staining effect? ( Yes)
Hope you have time give and suggestions or feedback with regard to the above questions, I want the "stain effect to have durability.
How does this technique hold up? Does it need to have a finish added to it to seal the colors?
Branson Berrier, the color holds up fairly well. It depends are what you are using it for. If you are using it for an inside project like a frame, or small craft project it will work well. If used seasonally outside, I would recommend, using a spray lacquer coat for say a birdhouse. A quick note, due to sunlight and weathering the color may fade a bit, and you'd have more 'shabby-chic' look. If you wanted to do a lawn chair made of pine, in that case- I would suggest since it will be outside in sun and rain, using a regular weather -proof Sherwin Williams brand of stain. They have many many stains that can replicate the color of acrylic paint. Just show them a color sample. They will scan it and create it in shop for you.
The olive green is what I plan to finish my rifle stock....I was going to spray paint it o.d. army green, but this would look WAAAAAY cooler👍
I am glad to hear this!
I have always wanted to try carving a landscape or buck into a rifle stock- but I haven’t gotten the courage to commit.
@@Tsudkyk I wish I had one that doesn’t already have smthg engraved
Do you think It would be possible to do this paint as a stain technique on antique hardwood floors? They look almost black. The house is from 1895. Every finisher told me that there have been some repairs over the years and it would look good in the state it because the wooden wooden match. But I am wondering if there’s some sort of layered paint stain technique that might work? There is too much damage tostrip them and restain them but at the paint.
Hello Jlynn, sorry for the late reply. Very busy this semester. I would say, honestly, stick with real floor stains, real products like Sherwin-Williams or a company that uses floor products. This technique is mostly for unstained wood like a maple or wicker. Your floor wood would be very hard wood like elm or chestnut.
I want to do a piece that will stay outside for a long time in Florida sun. Do you think this will hold up or fade quickly because of the sun?
Quinn Bertucelli- I would suggest keeping it in the shade. Color fading would occur- However, I have never done a color fast test on acrylic paints used on wood and kept in the sun- Thus, opening up a whole new area of discover to discover. What a wonderful idea to test out if I should remake a video I will credit you for the question!
Use a top coat with UV protection to seal in and protect from the sun and rain.
can this be done with MDF board?
Hello Gonzalez-Valdez, MDF board as in Medium-density fibreboard, I would think since it is wood, and fibre, it would absorb the paint. What I would suggest is, get a sample board, and a color you like, and just try a piece. If it absorbs, its more wood and less binders in it like a glue or resin. And if you succeed with the process, please send me a note here and share your findings. Excellent question.
Could linseed oil be added ?
Hello!~ No need to add linseed oil. It's just water and acrylic paint. This project is super simple. For projects that use linseed oil, you'd be working with an oil paint.
Rosa ~ For this technique no linseed oil needed.
Olive green both
Thank you thank you thank you!! ＼(^o^)／
Fionna- You're welcome!! X 3!!--- :)
Does it come off if you pour water, nail polish, soap, or alcohol on it? in casr you accidentally do so, also does it come off and stain your clothes if you lean on it, let say a table?
Julianototriwiijaya- Hello I can answer your questions: Once Acrylics are bone dry and have soaked into the wood, no, it should be permanent. If Acrylic gets on fabric, say like cotton, it can stain your clothes..but...if washed immediately, the paint should come out. If you seal your project after it dries completely and after creating the project with a clear gloss lacquer finish, or matte lacquer finish ( spray can lacquer finish),That should double protect the project and water, nail polish, soap or even alcohol should not ruin it.
@@pingandkvam oh, thank you
Olive wins, hands down.
Shanette Elliott- Thank you, I was hoping for some good votes on the colors- And olive is a great one!
Why would it work on old wood,I believe it would?
SamuelRutledge, is that 'would' or 'wouldn't' as your question?
A vrais dire monsieur,et pour être honnête avec vous, j'ai pas aimé tes mélanges de couleur, et tu dois admettre ma vérité pour mieux travailler sur le Bon mélange des couleurs dans l'avenir, mais comme même je vous souhaite une très bonne continuation dans le plus proche future,je vous donne un like et un abonnement dans votre chaîne pour ton effort.
Abraham, merci pour votre commentaire. Bien que vous n'aimiez peut-être pas le mélange des couleurs, j'espère que la vidéo et la façon dont le processus a été effectué auront une certaine valeur. Et que vous-même, si vous choisissez d'utiliser des peintures acryliques pour teindre le bois, vous trouverez des couleurs que vous aimez. Et merci d'aimer la vidéo.
Don't like the frosted
KMF, Yes, the unfrosted staining does show the staining color much better and is more vivid. Years ago, I was in New England, and saw a birdhouses in a craft store. The wood was frosted, and knew several people had inquired on how it was made. So, I added 'how to frost wood' as a bonus. And doing so, created 8 more kinds~~
@@pingandkvam yes some will like it. I think I might like it a bit more if it was dry brushed on. I think I might try that.
