Mark Fergel Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 What's the best order for finishing? In this case an ash body that will be stained with and have a single burst. Does this look right? grain sealer sand pre stain treatment black stain sand black stain sand (these were to have the grain stand out) green stain sand green stain airbrush a black stain burst (or should I use an acrylic paint?) tung oil tung oil sand with steel wool tung oil sand with steel wool tung oil polish should I use a sealer at some point?

ihocky2 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Tung oil will not work with paint. It needs to absorb into the wood to provide any type of protection or adhesion. On top of paint all it will do it dry up and rub off. What is "pre stain treatment"? Again tung oil will not work on top of grain sealer or grain filler. It needs to be applied to bare wood or else it just rubs or flakes off once dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have never seen anything so complicated in my whole life. What website did you get that information at if I may ask? The short answer is no, that is not the way to get where you want to go, for several reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenspoke Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No it does not look right. As was said why do you need a pre stain treatment, we are not working with blotchy wood like pine.You said it was ash right To even give you a hint to figure out what to do , rather than give us some nonsensical list of every step. You could show us or describe to us what you are attempting to do and someone can describe to you how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
