The stain I use is boiled linseed oil with a small amount of raw umber oil and mineral spirits.

Thanks for sharing.

[@steveholbrook4729]

Good idea

I had problems in my learning months of using acrylics on carvings that the paint would lift with water based polyurethane varnish unless I let the acrylic mature couple of days. Then I found acrylic varnish and mixed some 30% with the paint colour which seemed to stabilise the paint and give a light sheen

I believe he said one inch in the video. I use 5" of Raw Sienna.

Ty Van 👍👍👍👍🍺😎

[@RustWater]

Have you noticed any darking/yellowing of your older carvings? Great craving by the way!!

[@tomevans4402]

I’ll try this. I haven’t sealed any carvings yet. Thank you

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

I sometimes go back and re-dip some of my carvings after they have sat for years just to give them a fresh look.

[@igotarock6939]

What is the ratio of BLO to mineral spirits? Thanks

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

Pinned at the top.

Hi, can you recommend a varnish that will work if I want to seal any outdoor art from rain?
I have some wooden sculptures I want to paint and place outside and need a sealent that will protect the paint.

[@85yellowpuff]

Forgive me, I'm a dunce..... But I do not understand the mixture... I know it's pinned at the top but to ME it's not clear.... ONE Quart of BLO... got that.... but squeeze 1/2 of a tube of Burnt umber oil....I CHECKED... THOSE TUBES COME IN DIFF SIZES!! So, what size do I take HALF out of? and 25% mineral..... 25% what?? 25% of a quart??

[@kkumi1782]

The Burned Umber tube, in the video, looks to be about 200 ml (7 Oz).
It's for tint and grain highlight so, a precise amount is not critical.
25%, is 1/4 of your final mix.
Or, a ratio of one part Mineral Spirit to three parts Linseed Oil.

Я не так давно занимаюсь резьбой, но мне этоочень нравится, может у вас будет совет для начинающих для выбора инструмента, так как я я скупил все что можно что можно купить у нас, но так и не нашел что хотел

[@bender49ers]

What kind of clear?

[@10418]

But… Do you use GESSO before painting ? I’m so new to this. Can someone answer me?

[@jimgardner6473]

Had a question about the rags/paper towel, after they are completely dry is it still combustible?

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

Not as likely. I just always seal them in a bag before throwing them out.

[@mrs.americanmade7452]

What ratio of BLO to the mineral spirits please?
