Jronn65 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 This was my first attempt on using different stains on the same project. I didn’t tape off the different areas so stain ran, especially on the horse. So to try and help the project, I used water colors to try and cover up some of the issues. Then added more on the reflection to draw attention. Probably won’t try this again! amazingkevin, frankorona, Tomanydogs and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have heard that using a wood burner to outline the area to be stained will block the stain from spreading. I guess the burner "cauterizes" the wood pores to stop the stain from wicking to other parts of the wood. I haven't done it myself, so cannot guarantee it will work. It should also work with water colors. Tom Jronn65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 From what I can see in the photo it looks great but you can see it better than me, so I will say excellent work Ron. Marg Jronn65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackman Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Tape probably would not have helped. The stain would go under it. I have taken a xacto knife an cut around what I am staining. The cut makes a grove to stop the stain from running. Don’t take much. John B and Jronn65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
