Why does wood blotch and how to prevent it. Blotch-Free Wood Stain Application will review the woods that need pre staining step and woods that don't. Blotching after staining wood is a common problem when staining certain wood types. Plus I give you step by step instructions on how to apply stain and pre stain conditioner properly. Wood stain should do two things: highlight the pattern of the grain and adjust the color of wood to fit your use.
Please leave comments and ask questions. I really do love to hear from y'all.

@andrewvachon568 2 года назад

Hey Andrew. You're welcome and welcome to the woodworking fraternity. Most experienced woodworkers are happy to share (in fact its hard to shut most of us up!!). Let me know if there's anything specific you would like to see. It may be my next video. best . . . paul

I've been watching a ~lot~ of vids recently about wood, staining, prep, sanding, more sanding, pre-stain, filler, stains that are varnish, poly finish, acrylic finish, nitro, spray guns... THE bloody WORKS! Your vids Paul are VERY helpful. Extremely helpful. You don't waffle on and waste time, you get straight to the point and speak with experience. And let me tell you, it's awesome, beneficial, refreshing, and excellent. Love your work mate. The Woodworker for the People. Thanks Paul u rock

@paulsDIYsolutions 7 лет назад

Hi Samantha. Perfect. Suggestion: on the chair legs and spindles try to apply and feather in a horizontal position. It doesn't have to dry in that position but will help avoid runs if you brush it on horizontally. Oh, and be sure to LAY IT ON THIN!! best . . . paul

@lenalandmine 7 лет назад

Holy moly! I've been working on a table turned into a desk for like two straight weeks. I went in knowing very little about stain and finishes, and even less about what I wanted. Every single step was a shot from the hip, and you can imagine how many steps I had to do over repeatedly and how many techniques I had to change. I just watched your polyurethane video and now this one, and I am set to make my desk a work of art!! I thank you beyond words, and my back and hands thank you also, as I'll finally be able to stop messing around and get it done!! Thanks again, and keep it up. Your videos are awesome and you're so incredibly thorough, it really helps beginners like me.

@kellyklaask7su990 7 лет назад

I am learning a LOT watching your videos. I've never liked the "finishing" process. I like to do the building. So I've somewhat ignored the "finishing" techniques over the years. But I decided I should now perfect my "finishing" and ran across your videos. I really appreciate them!

@paulsDIYsolutions 7 лет назад

Hey Kelly. What's to like about finishing? Sanding -yech, staining is a mess and top coats are tedious. Plus who notices the finish; everyone appreciates the structure!! That is unless the finish is bad. Then the whole project looks sub-par and flawed. The truth is if people don't notice but can't wait to touch your work you've scored big. Glad I was a small part of your process. best . . . paul

@Chickenmamawv 6 лет назад

This was a huge help to me.. refinishing an antique 1920's dresser with soft wood. I was going to use the gel but am now convinced to go another way!!

@paulsDIYsolutions 6 лет назад

Hey Mrs Briggs. One thing I neglected to mention in the video: When you use the pre-stain conditioner flood the surface and let it sit until you notice a dry spot (anywhere). The same technique as applying stain. Wipe off the conditioner and apply your stain immediately while the surface is still damp (but not puddled) with conditioner. Its always best to practice in a non-noticeable area first. best . . . paul

@jennilarsen7732 5 лет назад

Its the first day of spring and the crickets in the background gives me goosebumps for summer!!!!! Plus needed the info-we are sanding & staining curly maple. Thought this was an easy job till we started sanding-didn’t like the way it took the stain-so we resanded (from 80-300) and restrained with prestain linseed oil mix, we stained with a weathering stain then Poly, and it looks super awesome and the gorg curls really popped-thanks for reinforcing (to us, new to others) these steps to us!!! Everything you said isn’t just for fun-these steps have to be done in order to have beautiful wood-no matter floors, dressers, etc :). Thanks!!!

I am going to check out your poly vid next. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!!

@paulsDIYsolutions 6 лет назад

Hi Linda. I try to respond to everyone's comments and somehow missed yours, so I apologize for that. If you haven't started already I always suggest finding a hidden area or scrap piece to practice on. I have all the confidence in the world that you will be fine. Take you time and follow the simple steps. Thank you for your kind words. Let me know if I can address any other finishing questions. best . . . paul

@lindal2831 6 лет назад

Thank you Paul, I have not started yet but I have been practicing on the scrap pieces and now I am having trouble getting close to matching the stain with the existing cabinets. I had originally planned to use a grey but I didn't like the color, so I decided to try to come as close as I can. The kitchen cabinets are finished with an M01 chocolate maple glaze on J&K cabinets, I can't seem to find this color in a stain, perhaps its a custom mix for the cabinetmaker? I'm guessing the J&K cabinets wood is maple. The island I am going to stain is oak. I have tried a few different stain colors and I think maybe it is a redwood stain but I'm not sure what the glaze is. Trips back and forth for more stain is a pain, LOL. If you have any advice, I would certainly appreciate it. :)

@paulsDIYsolutions 6 лет назад

Hey Linda. Yep understand completely. Amazon sells a finishers color wheel that brings you pretty darn close. Matching is tough though because colors deepen or fade with age and each wood takes stain differently plus each wood has its own unique color tones. Why not take a sample to you local paint store with a piece of scrap wood and see if they can help you? best . . . paul

Excellent video! I got lucky that my small, wine bar project is hardwood. Former paratrooper over here. I always seem to be leaping before I look, and always jumping in with both feet. I started my wine bar project BEFORE watching your videos. Now your videos are helping me correct my mistakes, or at least helping me understand what I did wrong for next time. Your videos provide excellent intel (advice) for my next jump (project). These videos are great and I can't wait until I start my next project. Thanks again!

@paulsDIYsolutions 5 лет назад

Hey John. Sounds like you're hooked on woodworking. Welcome to the club. Unlike jumping from an airplane we woodworkers learn from our mistakes and their okay to make a few times. I'm here if you need suggestions. And RU-vid is here for the things I don't know. best . . . paul

@Raphaelo325 5 лет назад

Paul, thank you very much. I just hope that if I ever do anything for 30+ years and someone actually believes that I do it well; I just hope I'm as humble and approachable as yourself. I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn some carpentry basics (readies parachute, packs reserve chute, prays to St. Michael (patron saint of paratroopers...lol.)

Very, very good. Point clearly demonstrated. Here in the UK, not many use or even know about pre conditioning the wood. I've seen the effect of not preconditioning first hand. Had to resand the floor. Have just ordered a pre stain conditioner. Thumbs up, liked and subbed from the UK.

31 year old woman here doing my first DIY project-staining a mantel! My husband and I bought the house a year ago and I just hate what it looks like now. Finally have courage to change it. Thank you for this video. I liked listening to you. I can tell you’re a great guy.

@paulsDIYsolutions 4 года назад

Hey Bree. 31 is the perfect age to start!! 32 might be too late and 29 is far to young. I got started because our contractor went broke half way through our remodel. NECESSITY is a great teacher. Good luck I'm here if I can be of any help. best . . . paul

Thank you so much for your demonstration, I am going to do my first door and really appreciate your advice and guidance

@paulsDIYsolutions 4 года назад

Hey maggie. Glad to be of some help. Most doors are pine or oak. The good news is I never use a pre stain conditioner on them. Even the pine doors are clear pine so they tend not to blotch. When you are ready for polyurethane or spar varnish you should check out my video The Ultimate Guide to Bubble Free Polyurethane Varnish - Doors, Furniture, Cabinets, Tables ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JFgloN0GCSI.html It's always best to remove the doors from their hinges so you can work in a horizontal position. Let me know how they turn out. best . . . paul

@markwhitman1244 3 года назад

Paul, I’ve watched a few of your videos; I’m applying one at a time as I go. Sanding techniques and information was very helpful. ATM, I’m trying pre-stain and then stain. I’m refinishing an Edo period Japanese cabinet. It’s in pretty rough shape. You can see all the damages and fixes over time, including numerous wood types, soft and hard woods. I’ve got scraps so I’ll be testing each wood type. There are some wood pieces I have no clue whether soft or hard, so careful testing and watching will need to happen. Well, I’m off to start testing. I’ll update later on my adventure and experiences. Your stain video was on target to help me decide on wood conditioner. Thanks again Paul

@paulsDIYsolutions 3 года назад

Hey Mark. Sounds like a challenging project. Be aware that different woods will accept stain differently. A conditioner will help even it out some but you may still get a color variation. I'll be curious so yes, please keep me posted. If you get a chance send me some pics paulsDIY.solutions. Thanx. best . . . paul
