Thank you these are great tips! I’m new to staining and have made almost all of those mistakes 😊
Here's one that I just did. Don't stain things directly over your coffee. The oils may look like abstract art and a masterpiece but now you need to clean your cup and waste your tasty cup of hot coffee. 😥
love a good tip! I've been sanding to too high a grit. thanks Jason!
Anytime! I am glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Same here! 400! 😂😭
what grit do you like? since you like a good tip- i am using coffee as stain- 100% non toxic sits the wood will sit near my dog!
@@MOAB-UT I was going to 400 grit but not anymore. I just refinished my countertop. I think the highest I used was 220. Did the trick! I've used coffee and tea to stain. But only when I was going for a distressed look, so there was paint and coffee stain, intermittently. It worked well. Good luck!
Thanks for this Jason! I was only searching for, “can you use a tack cloth before staining? You didn’t mention that on this video, everything you mentioned, I’m already doing, EXCEPT for, I’ve sanded this table I’m refinishing with 120 grit, then I went to 220, then 320, then 400! Then between coats I was using 1000!!! And you’re right on the $$, the stain worked, but it had a hard time soaking through! My thought was, when I run my hand over it I want it to be smooth as silk, but I thank you for the valuable lesson! ✊🏼
You pointed ALL the staining problems i caused in the past. Thanks so much for these insights.
what grit should I use before staining? I'm a newbie. many say 220 but others suggest that is too high. I am also using coffee since it works and is non toxic.
Thanks man. I was wondering why my Poplar table wasnt taking stain well, pretty sure it's because I had sanded smooth as hell (600). Glad I watched you vid. I'll hit it with 150 and try it again.
👍
I did the same with 400 grit. I've applied stain and it's pooling on my table top. Should I just go over it with a course paper (120 or so), then stain again? Thanks for your help.
Yes you should re-sand it
Thank you these are great tips!!! About to stain my wooden door tomorrow I am super excited it took me almost a week to get the paint off the door 🤦🏼♀️ getting there!
Thanks for the tips Jason!💥👊🏻
Thanks for always being there!
Great tips
This is helpful, thank you.
Very helpful, thank you. How would I avoid the “break” on the staining if it’s a ceiling beam thats 18.3 feet long and 2.2 foot tall given its 10 foot tall room? Even with two ladders and two of us going at it, I fear them breaks. Hope you can help. :)
💕 love, love your common sense tips. Really impressed me enough to become subscriber 👍🏼
Thanks man, I've been standing my guitar for the past week lol I keep messing up and I'll start over and one thing I didn't think about was the sandpaper because I have a spot where I dug too deep so I figure I would polish it out with some 200 grit sandpaper but the only thing that happened was now in that one spot the stain will not take so I got a beautiful black stained guitar with one spot right below the sound hole that looks different. After the fourth time of redoing it I just said hell with it and sand in my neck here and there to make it look vintage cuz to be honest with you I'm not saying this guitar again I don't know that I have much wood left to sand lol but I will know what I'm doing next time
What grit do you recommend to do an initial stain- is 200 too high?
Does wiping off the stain apply to exterior stain as well?
Great advice Jason. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
SOB , found something i need , grit & full length strokes . Ty . Assembled staining tips is what i cant find , corners , edge drip, brush marks , cloth only or not . looking at your other stuff now .
Thanks for your tips. Very helpful.
THank you Jason. This helps a lot
I also use a pre stain wood conditioner. It also comes out perfect...especially on soft wood.
Which one? I thought I could just dampen it with a moist rag. I also plan to use multiple coats of strong 1:1 coffee, followed by shellac. I'm a newbie- any tips? Sand to 220 grit before? In between coats of coffee?
Is this water colour ?
Great tips. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you❤.
Good tips, thanks. Most say to use 220 grit- is that too high? I want to use COFFEE as stain- non-toxic, then cover with shellac. French polish- thoughts? I'm a newbie. the 3 sq. foot piece of maple will serve as one side of a DIY shoe cabinet in our kitchen. It will be near our dogs food bowls so it must be as non-toxic as possible.
Thanks. Many say to stop at 150 so it can soak in better which makes sense. After stain and before shellac 220. I'll stick to coffee as the stain. Was going to buy DYE but the can says it causes cancer. I like the look but I prioritize staying healthy. I'm sure it will look good enough.
Hi Jason, I just watched your video. I am wanting to sand and stain my bookshelf. What sand paper should I start out with and then end with? It it already stained but I want it darker.
sidenote: what is the name of that color that is blueish in color? during the part about not doing small sections?
? What lint free rags do you use? Thanks!
So, I didn't wipe my stain and is kind of looks bubbly, smooth but looks below par. Do I have to start again for perfect finish??
Hi I striped my kitchen chairs. I then stained the seats with water based stain . I brushed the stain on , then wiped off. I keep getting what looks like water spots. I keep wiping it off and it comes back . Hepl
You do not have to wipe off the stain if ragged on properly. A good sand, and a good pushing of the rag. Polish in the stain.
Hello and thank you for the great information. Dumb question, i just picked up a small vanity that have 6
Very small holes on top that i put Bondo on to fill. I want to stain the top a dark walnut. Am i able to do that with out the Bondo showing through? Thank you.
Ok my problem is I’m about to stain my 10” wide table that’s 11 feet long. I’ve been delaying it bc I don’t want to mess it up :-(
Any advice?
If you had spots what would you do to remove them?
We did not wipe the stain after a few minutes, now it’s sticky and cloudy… any suggestions what we should do now?
Good tips! Do you ever use conditioner before staining?
Never! I tried it years ago and hated the results. What about you?
I've not used it. I've heard both good and bad but the shop that is going to finish the clear on the job I'm working on now likes to use it. They say it allows more control over the color. I can stain it myself and maybe save some money but I don't think I want to try to fool with any conditioner.
Totally! Some people really love it...to me it fills up the pores of the wood and barely let's any stain stay on...if I really need to control the color, I generally stain a lighter than needed color and then tint my clear coat to deepen to the desired color...you get unbelievable even tones.. basically perfect.
@@DoingitWithjason I like that idea. I was told that the horrific mess i made using a really dark stain on maple, could have been avoided if I'd conditioned the wood. but it was too late and i've never tried it. Finally got an even finish after a dozen coats or so.
Great tips!!!
Hi, am getting red cedar wood fence panels in my back yard, do you think it needs to be sanded, before I apply the oil. I mean it is required for brand new installation as there is no wear or outdoor exposure yet. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for the tips!!!! They are what I just need for my school project! By the way, what is the mat you use on table when sanding the wood? Any hint where I could get it ?
Glad they helped! The pad is just shelf liner that you can get at the hardware stores. It comes in rolls and is way cheaper then finding something made for sanding
My stain would always end up sticky. Now I know why. I never wiped it off. What kind of rag should I use to wipe it off nextime?
Have you ever used briwax?
I did mistake #1 on my dining room table 😩 How do I fix it?
I have some leftover stain with a little linseed oil mixed into it. For the moment, I just kept the leftover in a plastic container with a lid on top (the contain I used to mix and apply with). Is this ok? Not sure what other container to keep this leftover in, as I don't want to pour it back into my original stain can without contaminating it. And I don't have any extra tin can to use.
Link for stain was not there ??
Hey Jason, I applied a gel stain with a brush and I made the mistake of not wiping off the stain and now the stain is darker than intended and has that sticky residue. What should I do to lighten it a bit and remove the sticky residue?
You can reapply the stain and it should reactivate the first coat of stain and help you to wipe off some of the extra. As long as it's not water-based. You can also try a little bit of lacquer thinner or acetone on a rag and carefully wipe back some of the excess
@@DoingitWithjason Thank you for your reply. Someone mentioned that I can use fine steel wool with mineral spirits to lighten it. What are your thoughts on that?
@@pablo46s that possibly could work. I would use that as a last resort similar to sanding it of. Basically steel wool would be sanding
Yupp it's easy to stain full side to side.
But how to do if we were supposed to stain a furniture. We can't simple do like that
Hii do I use wood filler before or after I stain?
I found a couple of light weird spots after I applied the stain how can I fix this , can't find the answer. This was a raw pine door and I did use a Preston on it first. Please help
How to solve the sticky stain floor?
Staining aficionado. Also didn't toy steal the chipmunks or something?
Thx 👍🏻
I’m staining a whole exterior wood siding . Siding it’s painted brown. Would I have to sand the whole house before I stain? Or can I apply stain on top
You've probably already done the deed, but its stain not paint. If its a solid stain itll still take several coats to look good'ish over paint, if it even sticks.
Did you use conditioner before staining
No, I didn't. I'm not a fan of that stuff. If you properly sand, you really shouldn't need it
Doing it With jason i have a cabinet that looks like it may have been stained before. If i wanted to stain on top of the color, should i still sand it
Depending, if the finish has been worn off you can just add the stain without sanding. You will know right away because when you wipe off the stain none of the stain will stay on the piece due to no penetration
How do you clean the brush after you paint a stain on the wood?
I realize this question is 2 yrs old, but incase someone just reading this has the same question: clean your brush with mineral spirits. But honestly, I would just use an old white cotton sock or lint free rag.
I did not know how to sand prior to staining....I sanded my oak table top nice ad smooth with 400 grit!!! My stain is pooling in spots on the table....help!!! What do I do now!?!?!?
I highly recommend watching this video again
Was that nubie speech ? Yes !! . My quest has begun .
just the tip lolz thats sounds familiar for some strange reason!
I work making Grammys and i just put your 2 names on one.
Doesn’t using and orbital sander leave circular sand marks on the wood? I was always taught to sand in the direction wood grain. Anyone?
Use it at first then finish with the grain by hand.
WOW another expert
Thanks! They are not as rare as you believe, but I'll take it anyhow 😉
@@DoingitWithjason That a boy Jason! I think he is jealous. After all, what else would he be doing watching DIY video's?
1:01 hey guess what. I did just that 😂 now I need to know how to get rid of that smell and I also put polyurethane on it 🙃
I kind of disagree, and what I mean is you don’t need to always go through the same process of wiping off the stain on some stains, especially if you’re brushing it or spraying it. Although some stains may require it. It just depends on your preference.
I absolutely had to like this video. Good video with good content but I really had to like this video so it didn't have 666 likes anymore. Your video is officially no longer EVIL.
Omg why didn’t I watch this before😭😭 I am so miserable right now.
Fail #6 - he forgot to wear a respirator. Stains have lots of VOCs. Even outside, you should wear one.
At first I thought he was gonna dip his nasty screwed up hands in my mashed potatoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did this and left the stain on rip
Quickly, i white washed a 300 sq ft room
And i need to know when to remove the excess stain
Answer back immediately! I’m making a sandwich
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Tip 6: don’t stain without a mask. This guy was probably high as kite filming this.
holy shit
Darn it, I wasted my time sanding a table on the finest grit... I knew I shouldn't have listened to my husband, mama boys suck at men projects >:[
My gut told me no and I ignored it
A good oil base stain will still soak into the wood
Number one thing to never do, put stain on wood
