    You are so very kind for taking time to stain and make swatches for us to compare! I was patiently anticipating the reveal for Minwax’s “JACOBEAN” though. I’ve already applied my stain to a floating shelf made from THREE varying mystery wood found in garage and I did get desired dark shade. Except some areas were TOO dark, almost black w/no grain reveal whatsoever.

    Thanks Dave. A lot of us use pine and can't find good examples of stain on white pine. The paint sticks at the big box don't cut it and the keyring swatches are horrible. I can vouch for the minwax pre stain. It looked great with Red Oak(stain) and a couple coats of polycrylic.

    THANK YOU for this demo..This is why I have accumulated so many stains chasing colors and wasting money. A lot really does nothing to crow about "on pine". Especially any of the light colors. You have 4 light colors there that you really can't see any difference. Therefore I would have bought 4 cans when I only needed one...So I have stain for sale, anyone interested ? LOL

Not enough difference to have all 3..Now I have used Early American often, but I chased the other 2 for a change (I had hoped)..Nothing ! So your video proved I wasn't insane that pine duplicates.

    A stain I really fell in love with on pine is “aged barrel” it’s a really good mix of gray and brown. Looks terrible on poplar and barely covers red oak but looks good on white. It’s pretty much the only colored stain I use now.

    • @LightGesture
      @LightGesture 5 років тому +2

      Just stick a few steel wools in a big container of vinegar.
      That's the cheap way of making stain that will age or pickle. Otherwise you can buy it. What it does is make it grey. You're supposed to let it sit on there for a while, much longer than normal stains. And you do NOT use pre-stain on them. This steel wool vinegar mix needs that bare wood. At least in every application I've used it in, especially tight grain woods.

    Dave, I know this is an old post, but I have red oak floors and pine staircase. Ideas on trying to match the pine treads to the oak floor? Just want to get in the same ballpark. Maybe use solid stain on the stair treads to mask the difference between the grain? We are going darker, like dark walnut or 50/50 dark walnut/special walnut on the floors. We are doing white risers, white balusters, and dark handrail (probably painted so we don't have to replace them).

Then I read the directions and it said to leave it on for 5 minutes before wiping off the excess and the longer you leave it on the darker it will be. After 5 minutes I got the color I wanted.

    Questions about Minwax pre-stain and stain on pine. I've stained over a thousand feet of pine baseboards and trim. All pine purchased from Home Depot and Lowes and some provided by my general contractor. Two questions of you: 1. Do you really see a difference using the Minwax pre-stain? I keep using it, but I did several A vs B on the same piece of pine and could never see the difference. Yet, I stupidly keep using it. I'm brainwashed I guess. 2. I use Minwax Red Chestnut stain and most of the time it comes out a beautiful reddish color and sometimes it comes out a solid brown, which summarily becomes scrap. Is there a technique to getting consistent coloration?

    Ok, I don't know if I'm going crazy or not but I lived in MD for all my life. When I bought stain it pretty much matched the color pictured on the can and stained pine fine. When I moved in NC the stain here (same brand!) doesn't match the color on the can nor does it take to the pine that I buy. Am I doing something wrong?

      That is weird, maybe they have different pine. I know these box stores get most of there's from other countries
