I started my samples the other day with what I have on hand. Some stains and watco oil...
Bill....with the gel stain I got the darkest of them all...maybe I did something wrong ? This is only after the first coat with all of them.
I did try some Amber bull eye shellac...it dried way faster than I anticipated. It didn't perform like a Wiping product for me...maybe I did something wrong with it. I'm used to a Oil poly wipe on that dries slower....
Should I thin it down with DNA ?
I have used Watco oil a lot over the years...it's so simple , can't really mess it up. A couple of them don't look to bad for the first coat. I will continue through the process on all of them and see what I end up with. I was hoping to avoid this stage of finishing but I suppose we all go through this experimental stage. Too many options...
