Here's one that I just did. Don't stain things directly over your coffee. The oils may look like abstract art and a masterpiece but now you need to clean your cup and waste your tasty cup of hot coffee. 😥

Thank you these are great tips! I’m new to staining and have made almost all of those mistakes 😊

[Michelle-hgsv]

love a good tip! I've been sanding to too high a grit. thanks Jason!

[paulmenard]

Thanks for this Jason! I was only searching for, “can you use a tack cloth before staining? You didn’t mention that on this video, everything you mentioned, I’m already doing, EXCEPT for, I’ve sanded this table I’m refinishing with 120 grit, then I went to 220, then 320, then 400! Then between coats I was using 1000!!! And you’re right on the $$, the stain worked, but it had a hard time soaking through! My thought was, when I run my hand over it I want it to be smooth as silk, but I thank you for the valuable lesson! ✊🏼

You pointed ALL the staining problems i caused in the past. Thanks so much for these insights.

Thank you these are great tips!!! About to stain my wooden door tomorrow I am super excited it took me almost a week to get the paint off the door 🤦🏼‍♀️ getting there!

Thanks man. I was wondering why my Poplar table wasnt taking stain well, pretty sure it's because I had sanded smooth as hell (600). Glad I watched you vid. I'll hit it with 150 and try it again.

Thanks man, I've been standing my guitar for the past week lol I keep messing up and I'll start over and one thing I didn't think about was the sandpaper because I have a spot where I dug too deep so I figure I would polish it out with some 200 grit sandpaper but the only thing that happened was now in that one spot the stain will not take so I got a beautiful black stained guitar with one spot right below the sound hole that looks different. After the fourth time of redoing it I just said hell with it and sand in my neck here and there to make it look vintage cuz to be honest with you I'm not saying this guitar again I don't know that I have much wood left to sand lol but I will know what I'm doing next time

I also use a pre stain wood conditioner. It also comes out perfect...especially on soft wood.

You do not have to wipe off the stain if ragged on properly. A good sand, and a good pushing of the rag. Polish in the stain.

Great advice Jason. Thanks for sharing.

[pikachuthegayatheist]

I kind of disagree, and what I mean is you don’t need to always go through the same process of wiping off the stain on some stains, especially if you’re brushing it or spraying it. Although some stains may require it. It just depends on your preference.

Hi I striped my kitchen chairs. I then stained the seats with water based stain . I brushed the stain on, then wiped off. I keep getting what looks like water spots. I keep wiping it off and it comes back . Hepl

Yupp it's easy to stain full side to side.
But how to do if we were supposed to stain a furniture. We can't simple do like that

I work making Grammys and i just put your 2 names on one.

[glenbutler]

💕 love, love your common sense tips. Really impressed me enough to become subscriber 👍🏼

[joshua]

If you had spots what would you do to remove them?

[lmendez.lm]

Can I use a roller and then use a brush...

[MOAB-UT]

Good tips, thanks. Most say to use 220 grit- is that too high? I want to use COFFEE as stain- non-toxic, then cover with shellac. French polish- thoughts? I'm a newbie. the 3 sq. foot piece of maple will serve as one side of a DIY shoe cabinet in our kitchen. It will be near our dogs food bowls so it must be as non-toxic as possible.
