Popular Post Chestnut Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I still think these articles ignore the best option which is a cheap hvlp or conversion spray gun. The money saved on not buying a large variety of pre-stain tools could easily cover the cost of the equipment. Or the best solution. Use wood the color you want your project to be. Or a wood that doesn't blotch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Not sure why, but our culture seems to think that anything made of wood must automatically be stained by default. It's a silly notion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askland09 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I've just come to the realization that blotching is an added feature to my projects. It's inevitable with some species. Also it gives it the "Made by Hand Character". My own two cents anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
