Lucky2 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Kevin, you might want to treat that wood panel to a coating of prestain, I've used panels like that before and the stain went on real blotchy and uneven. Now when I use those panels (which isn't very often) I use a product put out by Min-Wax called Prestain. It conditions the wood so that the stain goes on evenly, and you don't end up with different shades of stain. It makes it so that the stain looks the same on the end cuts as well as on the face of the wood. It might not work though, if your looking for a real dark color stain, you would have to try it out on a scrap piece of wood. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will even go further and say use it with any softwoods or large grain patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Awesome Kevin. Hope that Eagle survives the trip. You will need to package it extra well, the mail gets a bit rougher south of us. Keep up the great work my friend. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
