But when it's something foreign to us or me I want a tutorial start to finish in a real work shop and not some projection set where it's show one pass and cut to finish piece. This was a great video. Can't wait to search your channel for more diy.

They probably hit it way too hard with the original stain to hide the mismatched veneer. I grew up with red mahogany, and still have a house full of it. It's a grandmother stain. I like it.

Thank you sir for this useful information.. I’m just a DIY hobbyist..but, trial and error I learned about DeWalt and those original mouse sanders. I’m lucky I didn’t need surgery..but, my hands have never been the same. I almost bought the surfprep during lockdown..It’s 2 years since you made this video and I was just in a shop that carried surfprep and Festool..both are have really gone up in price! I hope to be able to get one soon. My hands are killing me..i love you videos’ they are excellent lessons!

Hi, This is a great video- thank you for making this! I have stripped and sanded all my kitchen cabinet doors and was thinking of using Arm R Seal (Satin). I have to do both sides of those doors. Can i do both sides of the door at same time or should i wait few mins or hours to do other side? Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks a ton :)
@darr19647 ай бұрын
Arm R Seal is a great and very durable product. The only thing I see is the dry times. You probably need to apply 2 to 3 coats and wait between coats. It would probably be easier to do one side at a time. If you do both sides at once, how are you going set them aside to dry. Good luck with your project. Please send pictures.

@@darr1964 Thanks. I bought the Arm R Seal Satin a few weeks ago but havent opened the cans yet. I stripped and sanded all the doors and some cabinet box bases and this is the next step. I bought painters pyramids so use and will lay these doors flat when i do it and then after a week or so, ill put them all on a vertical rack similar to yours. I live in a major east coast city in a downtown area so will move out to another location for 2 weeks so I dont have to deal with the smell...

why wood conditioner on pine vs mineral spirite like oat? Is pine more pourous than oak?
@darr196410 ай бұрын
Wood conditioner makes the stain absorb evenly and won't look blotchy. Minwax makes wood conditioners for water-based and oil-based stains. On water-based once it dries you will feel like a fuzzy feeling on it. That's from wood grain rising, so just give it a scuff sanding to remove it all. This doesn't happen on oil-based. If you're just adding clear coat and not staining do a water pop. Once you have wood or plywood sanded spray some distilled water on it, once dry scuff sand all the fuzz.

I love your videos - super informative! I was wondering if you had any tips for me - I just finished a bar top with GF Black gel stain. I used Arm R Seal in Satin, applied with a foam brush and wiped off excess lightly with a shop towel. When it dries it was so cloudy and streaky! I sanded it down and ready to try again, but I'm gun shy. What can I do to avoid the cloud and streak?
@darr1964 Жыл бұрын
ArmRSeal likes to be put on a bit on the thick side. It drys so slow that if you leave a few uneven spots, it will self level. Don't be afraid, the way I see it painting is like drawing, if you make a mistake you just erase it and do it all over while learning from your mistakes. Make a mistake, sanded, and start over.

This was by far the most helpful video on how to use gel stain. Bought gel stain based on recommendations but used it with methods of previous staining and got horrible results. Sanded previous attempt down to base, worked thru the grits, and used MD's method with excellent results on maple. A little traumatizing to glop on that much gel stain, but with the slip coat of mineral spirits, 10 min. job with beautiful results, amazing!
