The Best Stain For Pine // How to Avoid a Blotchy, Uneven Finish
Staining pine doesn't have to be such a pain. I tested popular oil-based stains, water-based stains, and gel stains to see which is actually the best stain for pine - and it's probably not what you'd think. Plus I’m sharing how several popular stain colors really look on pine.

How did you paint the mdf? Everything I read it’s kind of tricky since it’s so absorbent and sensitive to water? Also, do the wood fronts along the edging slightly hang over the mdf edging or line up exactly?
How can I find your first video on doing these countertops?
Thank you that is very helpful, how would you top coat the gel stain !
I'm planning to do some work on rocking chairs this weekend. Did you put any kind of coating on afterwards to weatherproof?
Turned out nice!!
These shelves look great I am going to use this video to redo all the shelves in my house. Thanks so much!
love your vidios but please turn up your speaker as it is very difficult to hear you.
This seems achievable over a weekend--thanks for making this very reasonable video.
How did the Milk paint hold up outdoors?
Milk paint didn’t work for me outside.
Pretty excited to try this versus buying all new furniture! How did it hold up? We're in a pretty punishing climate with heat and salt air.
Lots of great tips!
Thank you, great tips!! 😊
Thank you for sending me this information! How nice of you! Enjoyed your video and will subscribe.
So, just to understand, if we put the mod podge on first, then we would be painting over the mod podge instead of the wood, correct? I'm not sure I quite understand. Thank you!
Hi. After putting your stencil in place, but before stenciling, you can paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the stencil. This helps keep the stencil in place and eliminate any leaking. Then you go ahead and paint. Hope this helps!
@@LovelyEtc Thanks! Sorry, but just one more clarification, please . . . When you paint the thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the stencil, it's as though you are just outlining the letters on the top edge, right? You don't want any of the Mod Podge to actually touch the wood that you are eventually going to be stenciling with paint, right? I guess my question is, if you're just painting a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the stencil, I don't see how it makes a difference with the stenciling that is going to be coming up, or what happens underneath the stencil. Thanks!
doing this soon and wondering how you attached the middle unit to the wall? i am using pine and worried it is heavy and a falling risk unless anchored super soundly
Hi! I'm so glad you found this helpful. I measured and marked where each shelf needed to be placed. Then I used pocket screws to screw each shelf to the side. Here is the written tutorial that may explain it better www.lovelyetc.com/how-to-build-a-diy-closet-organizer/
Hi there! This video is really helpful, thank you. I just wanted to ask whether this same method and sealers would work okay over decoupage paper?
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yes, you should be able to follow the same process with decoupage paper. Of course, be sure to check the instructions for the paper first.
Is there any particular kind & brand of spray paint you buy?
Hi! I talk about spray paint in this post that should answer your question. Thank you! www.lovelyetc.com/how-to-spray-paint-furniture-with-a-flawless-finish/
Thank you SO MUCH for this video.
You are so welcome!
Are you using gloss or semi gloss?
I actually used a satin finish for the rocking chairs.
hi nice , what is the size of the shelves please and thank you. whats the depth and width please thanks so much my project next week
Hi. My closet is a small closet that is 63.5″ wide. I have a printable diagram with the exact dimensions in the post here: www.lovelyetc.com/how-to-build-a-diy-closet-organizer/ You can adjust the dimensions to fit your closet size.
thank you. i watched several videos and yours was the best by far!
Glad it helped! :)
One of the best, most thorough, no nonsense, well-informed videos I've seen on staining pine! You have helped me beyond measure! Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you!
All of it was secured with the Brad nailer? Did you screw the middle part to the wall?? Also did you do anything not shown for it to hold the weight of the clothes?? I’m doing this in my walk-in so I’m still confused on some things lol
Hi. The middle part is secured to the sections with pocket holes. I added four pocket holes to the underside of each shelf. Then I used pocket screws to screw each shelf to the side. The middle supports will support most of the weight of the shelf but to keep it stable, we also need to add another support to each end wall. You may want to check out the step-by-step written tutorial here www.lovelyetc.com/how-to-build-a-diy-closet-organizer/
Lovely, would this work for wardrobe?
You should definitely be able to add extra shelves to a wardrobe, but would need to make sure the wardrobe is sturdy enough for the weight of the extra shelves. Good luck!
@@LovelyEtc thanks
So beautiful! 😍 How much paint and sealant did you use? Would a pint be enough to cover that? I’m doing the exact same cabinet. 😂
Thank you! I purchased a quart of each. Just to be safe, I would go with a quart. Good luck!!
Thank you. The paint color is Persian Blue by General Finishes. Here is my affiliate link for the exact color. amzn.to/30WKoUc

What paint color did you use? Its lovely!
Thank you! I used General Finishes Milk Paint in Persian Blue. Here is my affiliate link to the exact one. amzn.to/30WKoUc
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you. I am going down the rabbit hole for this project. 7 years is testimony enough for me. impressed. Since I am retired and no kids I should fair better. I wonder if appliance paint then then envirotex would work for no yellowing? Although I will probably do art work on them (marble etc)
I'm so glad to hear that!! I am not sure if appliance paint would work better, but I love the idea of doing your own art work. Please come back and share with us if you do!!
Did you use the rustoleum appliance paint?
Do NOT use envirotex. It is one of the epoxies that would yellow super fast. Within months. You want an Art Epoxy such as UV Art from Promise or maybe Stone Coat which contains UV blockers and would last a few years. These will still yellow over time. All epoxies will yellow.
Do you have a link that I can use for the 64oz container of Envirotex? We do not need a full gallon.
above/amazon
Hello! I wasn't able to find a 64 oz, but there is a 32 oz here www.amazon.com/Environmental-Technology-32-Ounce-Pour-Finish/dp/B000BZYYQ0/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=envirotex+lite&linkCode=sl2&linkId=8709af081ef69c6d004c7a6a45398a49&qid=1591115763&sr=8-3
🔥🔥
Thank you!!
I used rustoleum and it took 30+ days to cure. That is frustrating.
It is definitely hard to wait, but it's always best so that your hard work is not ruined. :)
Great video, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
So glad to hear that!!

How many cans for two top and bottom chair cushions? Does it tell you anything as a guide on the back on the can?
Hello. It is tough to say exactly how much as I don't know the cushions you are starting with, but I used I used 1.5 quarts of paint and about 5 small bottles of fabric medium for my project. It's always best to have a bit extra for any touch ups. Hope that helps!
@@LovelyEtc thank you 😊
Thank Ghu for closed caption. I thought you were saying my Indian board.
I'm glad the closed caption helps!
Finally I came across your video. I have an antique baby buggy. What paint can I use since I want to keep it outside for all seasons to put flowers in? Do I need to put a special mask on when spraying? Thanks! 😊
Hi! I have an entire post dedicated to the best paint for outdoor furniture that should help. Here you go! www.lovelyetc.com/the-best-outdoor-furniture-paint-for-a-paint-finish-that-lasts/
I struggeled to cut this mylar espeially the details ..i think plastic is best way to go...i print with acrylic paint right out of the tube. This acrylic paint tends to strengthen the heavy poster board i use plus once dry becomes water proof and less likely to tarè easy.. im thinking once this wet side dries start printing on theback side to seal this back side as well. Acrylic is a kin to plastic and has a lot of the same advantages that plastic has. 4:56
Thank you for sharing your tips with us. It is always good to learn of some work arounds. Definitely want to use what works best for you!
Stencils are great when we put leaves on a tree
Yes, stencils definitely save time. Glad you found it helpful!
Good video, pleasant voice, beautiful eyes! ( not to be weird ie the eyes) I have been searching what to do about faded , worn patio cushions. Absolutely right about the cost of new cushions, it's cheaper to buy a whole new patio set. Craziness! Wish I could sew better! TY for the info
So glad it was helpful! Also, thank you for the compliment! :)
I think I "outweirded" you because I complimented her pretty feet!
Thank you! this was super helpful!
So glad it was helpful!
How long did you wait for the chairs to dry after cleaning them with water?
It dries pretty quickly, especially outside in the sun. Plus, I wiped it with paper towels after, so just about 15 minutes.
Woooow, thank you so much😊I also thought I had to purchase new doors . I actually was going to hire a handyman service to change the gold to silver. I'm going to the Home Depot tomorrow. Thank you so very much😊I'm looking forward to more of your projects😊😊😊😊😊
Glad I could help! Let me know how your project turns out!
Very very nice! I love that color!
Thank you! It is one of my favorite colors!
