Ronseal 10 Year Woodstain Natural Pine 250ml

Product Information

Level the wood’s surface with 80-grit or 120-grit sandpaper. If you have a bare piece of pine, use 80-grit sandpaper to rough up the surface. If you want to stain over an existing finish, opt for 120-grit sandpaper instead. [1] X Research source Rub the sandpaper on your piece of pine using a wide, looping circular motion. Keep roughing up the surface until the wood doesn’t have any raised bits or pieces. [2] X Expert Source Ryaan Tuttle Apply pre-stain conditioner to the wood with a sponge brush. Pre-stain conditioner helps the stain spread evenly so you’re less likely to get blotches and wood grain reversal. Dip your sponge brush into the conditioner, and spread it over every exposed area of the piece of wood. Make sure the entire piece of pine has an even coat of the conditioner. [5] X Research source Clean the sawdust off the surface with a damp sponge. Wet a soft sponge and wring out the excess water. Run your sponge over the surface of the pine from end to end with heavy, sweeping strokes in one direction. [4] X Expert Source Ryaan Tuttle This was Waterlox with a little bit of Minwax Honeymixed in. I thought this was pretty, and the grain didn’t bother me so much since it didin’t turn a hideous color. But the overall color just wasn’t quite warm enough for me. And it looks too orange-yellow, rather than brown. This is my favorite, and it was a four-step process. First, I used some homemade vinegar stain on the wood to cut the yellow/orange color of the pine. The homemade vinegar stain was about two cups of white vinegar, two “000” steel wool pads, and two tablespoons of coffee grounds. I only let the vinegar solution set for about three hours before using it. After the vinegar solution, I used the Annie Sloan Dark Wax, and then followed up with a very thin coat of Minwax Special Walnut. And I finished with a coat of Minwax Polyurethane.

Just a word about the homemade vinegar stain. I only let it age for three hours before using it. I was certain that it wouldn’t do any good, as I’ve read that it really should sit for at least 24 hours. So I wiped the vinegar solution onto the wood, didn’t see any change, wiped it off, and decided to try something else. I started this one by rubbing Annie Sloan Dark Wax over the entire thing, and then followed up with a coat of the Waterlox + Minwax Honey. When it was dry, I added a coat of Minwax Polyurethane. I love how the wax settled in the low places and gave it an aged look. Most projects only require one coat of stain. Apply it with a lint-free cloth or foam paint brush and then use a cloth to wipe off any excess. Examples of stained pineWorking with pinewood is easy, as well as affordable. However, the hardest part comes when you are trying to figure out how to stain pine wood. That’s for a couple of reasons. The steel wool and vinegar solution are effortless to make and apply. Just place 2 #0000 steel wool pads in a clean glass jar and add 2 cups of white vinegar (enough to cover the steel wool). Seal the mixture with a lid and leave it away in a dark room for 2-3 days. I used Waterlox with a little bit of Rust-Oleum American Walnut stain mixed in. Wow, that’s red. Definitely not the look I’m going for. Once your stain has completely dried, don’t forget to seal it! Here are our tips for sealing stained wood. The more you let the steel wool and vinegar solution age, the darker colors you will get (the solution can be stored for a full year). 2 – Look for wood stain test samples

Wipe off the excess conditioner with a shop cloth after 10–15 minutes. The conditioner needs a little bit of time to soak into the wood. Give the wood at least 10 minutes before running your shop cloth over the surface. Wipe in long, sweeping strokes to ensure you don’t leave any streaks on your wood. Keep wiping your piece of pine until there aren’t any wet spots left. [7] X Research sourceBrush 2 layers of polyurethane clear coat onto the pine. Stir your polyurethane to make sure it’s properly mixed. Dip a bristle brush into the clear coat and apply the polyurethane in a thin layer using long, broad strokes. Make sure you coat the entire surface of the wood to seal it. Give the polyurethane a day to dry completely before applying a second coat. [16] X Research source If you are looking for what stain to use on pine wood, there is no wrong answer. Hopefully seeing these examples will help you to decide. Adding the right stain can transform the look of your pine wood into something much more high end or stylish. We work with a lot of pine and so we decided to test out ten different wood stains to show you what our favorites are for pine! I tried some of the wax over red paint on a scrap piece of wood and I was immediately sold. Never even opened the can of poly that I bought. In retrospect, I kind of wish I’d gone out and gotten the buffer…it would have made a smoother, slightly shinier finish, but honestly, the hand-rubbed one was great for that painted piece. If I ever stain a piece, I’ll definitely get the buffer.

Regarding a wax coating not being durable… I assume you’re referring to a hand-rubbed product like the Annie Sloan waxes.But I’ve tried that method with light and medium-toned stains on pine, and it just doesn’t work. No matter how much wood conditioner, or how many coats of medium or light stain I use, that awful grain is still there…and accented in a way that I don’t find pretty at all. So yesterday, I tried out some different methods to see what I could come up with, and I actually think I found a way to stain pine a gorgeous medium-toned brown color that looks somewhat aged, while minimizing all of that yellow and orange grain! Whether you use the Annie Sloan wax, the shellac washcoat, or the Minwax pre-conditioner, be sure to use at least 2 if not 3 coats of poly on top because all 3 prevent full penetration of the oil stain and I’d hate to see good work worn away. I used the vinegar/steel wool method to make stain for some wood I wanted to have an aged look. The directions I found used apple cider vinegar. It made a beautiful rustic stain. Later I wanted to do it again & used white vinegar, it was not the same. Sand pine wood first with 80-grit sandpaper followed by 150-grit sandpaper to level and smooth the surface. Above all, the grain of pine is unusually dense. Thus, most stains cannot possibly penetrate fully, which causes undesirable hues of orange, yellow, and/or red to remain visible and tough-to-get-rid-of.

It reminds me a lot of our wall paint color – Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray– but in a transparent form. I remember reading somewhere that Alton Brown (the FoodTV personality) had a big old tree come down on his property and had the family’s kitchen table made out of it for their new house. Of course, he probably had it professionally milled (as one can do when money is no object).Hi Kristi. I for what its worth, absolutely hate pine. But I know that your table will turn out nice and I will like it because every project you have done has turned out really well. But I still hate pine. It’s so soft and gets dented and is full of ugly knotholes ….. I think it works because I used so little wax on it. After waxing, the wood still felt really dry, like it would soak up just about anything I put on it (stain, poly, Waterlox, etc.) Had I used enough wax, or several coats of wax, to where the wood actually felt waxy or coated, it would have been too much. But just the absolute thinnest of coats of wax seemed to be enough to seal the wood to the point where the grain wouldn’t soak up the stain in a crazy way, but not seal it so much that the wood was too saturated with wax to soak up stain.
