QweziRider Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I just tried staining my first test pieces ever. A couple thin slabs of so-so quilted maple glued to poplar just to practice. Did two batches of black and blue stains: one black at the factory recommended mixes and one at double strength. Same routine for blue. Took one board, stained one end weak black, the other strong black. Did the same to the other board with blue. Dried it, sanded back. Second coat of weak blue on weak black and weak blue boards. Then strong blue mix on the strong black and strong blue boards. Swwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!! Of course, I got too excitied and threw a third coat of strong blue mix on the black and blue strong mix boards. Makes me want to do naughty things! I can't wait to play with the coats of nitro on them. I definitely prefer the stronger mix than what Stew Mac recommends on the bottle (using half the water). I see expensive things in my future!
