Product Information

Further, when finishing a more expensive piece of wood like white oak, I would use a white stain to enhance the grain of the wood. Whitewash paint doesn’t enhance wood grain like stain is formulated to do. 4. Ease of Use

White wood finishes can look amazing, but out of all the possible colours and finishes available, can be one of the more problematic to get right. Why is this? All colours are affected to some degree by the type and colour of the wood and the type of top coat used. Clear coats over a white finish, especially on Pine will produce a yellowy or ‘off-white’ finish. This said, using the right products can normally prevent this from happening. We strongly recommend that when looking to achieve a white wood finish, always do a full and extensive test area including both the base coat such as the dye or stain and top coat, be it an oil or varnish. This is to test the final look and colour of the finish when fully dry, and prior to starting the main project. After all, it’s far easier to sand off a test area and try something else than a whole floor. Need our help with your paint project? One of the great things about wood stain on wood is the ability to customize the stain to suit your specific needs. If you aren’t finding exactly what you are looking for off the shelf then you may have to try your hand at customizing your own stain or even whitewash paint. You can create a beautifully subtle white stain by diluting any of these stains. You can also add some gray stain to your white stain to darken the hue just a bit and give it some added depth. Are you looking for something a bit darker (but not too dark) but don’t want to lose the naturalness of the wood undertones? Add in some Special Walnut or Early American Stain to achieve that look. You can even create a white wash stained look with a custom white stain. White Stain vs. White wash Paint Once you applied your desired amount of coats, give the dye a few days to settle before touching it up or making any further changes.In all instances, ensure the surface is clean and any saw dust or dirt has been removed before applying the Wood Stain. Applying Wood Stain Primarily for interior use, white wood oils are an excellentall-round solution. They’re easy to use, durable and can be used to create a huge range ofstunningeffects. If you want to whitewash on paint, then the whitewash paint method is preferred because using a stain over paint or any other surface with a sealant might not work well because it won't be able to enter the wood. The main difference between this and Simply White is that this has a glossier finish, I assume due to the built in polyeurathane.

One other thing to keep in mind is that different types of wood look different with the same type of stain. White stain on pine is going to look a lot different than white stain on oak. Wood Stain GuidesSimply White and Antique white are very subtle whites that just tone down the yellowyness. White stain vs. white paint

Begin by putting a thin coat of paint onto the wood surfaces. Use even strokes and cover every inch of wood that you want to dye. Allow the first coat to completely dry before repeating this process with a second layer. After wiping off the excess Wood Stain, you’ll need to wait for about 10 minutes for the stain to thoroughly dry. Once it’s dry, a second coat can be applied if desired; applied in the same way as the first. https://youtu.be/rLHOXYWqUIc Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Chapter 5 – Dyes and Stains – The Difference (https://youtu.be/rLHOXYWqUIc) Allow it to rest for about five minutes or more, especially for oil-based stains, then use a clean cloth to wipe off the excess.By following these steps, you can successfully dye your wood with a beautiful white finish.
