Wood Conditioner
It's been a while since I had to do this and I can't recall off the top of my head...but is it shellac or varnish I mix with 5 parts alcohol in order to make a wood conditioner? I have some pine I am staining and need to condition the soft spots. Thanks in advance

Re: Wood Conditioner
It's shellac. I did a small project of Cherry I posted here that I used a 1# cut of shellac.

Re: Wood Conditioner
You can use clear stain base too.

Re: Wood Conditioner
To make a washcoat simply reduce whatever product you want to use (lacquer, shellac etc.) to about 5% by volume. The % solids of the material as purchased will be stated on the label.
Minwax pre-stain conditioner works too, as well as any simple stain base. |
