Product Information

For this kind of top up I would recommend wiping varnish, which doesn't have to be bought as it's just normal oil-based varnish diluted with additional white spirit (US: mineral spirits). Decant a little of your varnish to a clean container, then thin to wiping consistency by diluting approximately 2 1:1. You're aiming for a pretty thin consistency that will wipe on thinly and easily, and also allow the excess to be easily wiped away after a couple of minutes. Spray on varnishes are easy to use. They do not require brushes and they do not need to be thinned. They must be used in a well-ventilated area, however, as they have strong fumes, which might make you feel lightheaded or nauseous.

For instance, yellow pine has a more pronounced grain pattern and can take on a darker finish than white pine. Recognising these differences can help you select the appropriate type of pine for your project and the best stain to accentuate its natural beauty. Thank you for your enquiry. A stain will need to be able to absorb into the surface of the wood and any pre existing treatment may prevent this. So you would need to strip off any old varnish. The wood that you are applying to can have a direct impact on the colour that will be achieved with the stain. Pines, for example tend to have a naturally red, orange or yellow colour and application of stains, varnishes or oils can highlight the already natural tones of the wood. Enhances Natural Beauty: Johnstone's Indoor Pine Varnish is designed to enhance the natural beauty of pine wood, bringing out its unique grain patterns and natural tones. After sanding, it's essential to apply a pre-stain wood conditioner. This step is particularly crucial for pine wood because of its uneven grain pattern. The conditioner helps to seal the wood's pores, ensuring that the stain is absorbed evenly and reducing the risk of blotchiness. It is important to always pre-seal any knots in the wood with a shellac or wash coat before applying any paint or stain. This will prevent the natural pigments or ‘resins’ in the knots from ‘bleeding’ into the finishing product. It is very common to have knots bleed through and change the color of the paint or stain. How to Treat Unfinished Pine FurnitureBut there are so many different types of oil-based finishes, which one is the easiest and most natural finish for pine? My Experiment To Find the Best Finish for Pine Seal the wood. When the last coat of paint or stain has dried, apply an even layer of varnish or sealant to the wood surface. This will give the piece a smooth, glossy finish. Be sure to allow ample time to dry completely, sixty minutes or more. In the spirit of environmental responsibility, consider choosing eco-friendly finishes. These are typically water-based and contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them less harmful to the environment and your health.

Shellac used to be the most popular wood finish on the planet until polyurethane came along, a much more durable, heat and chemical-resistant material with a longer shelf life. These days, since it is compatible with most other finishes, Shellac is often used as a barrier or primer to prevent wood stains from blotching. It’s a major ingredient in To be honest, I hate the odour or smell of BLO and Tung Oil. Danish Oil had a more pleasant smell, while Howards’s cutting board oil never had any kind of scent. Plus, due to the humidity of my workshop, BLO felt like it took ages to cure. Once your pine wood is prepared, it's time to apply the stain. Choose a stain that complements the natural colour of the pine and aligns with your desired aesthetic. But that's not all - Johnstone's Indoor Pine Varnish is also incredibly durable, providing protection against scratches, scuffs, and stains. So you can be sure your pine surfaces will look beautiful for years to come. Sand the wood. Sand the surface area of the pine with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth any imperfections in the wood and to help the finishing product adhere to the surface better.Sand the wood. Gently sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper to remove any imperfections or excess sealant. Wipe down the panels to clean away any remaining dust or debris. Apply a second layer or sealant and let it dry completely. In this example we show you what it looks like to stain pine with our Dark Oak Wood Stain. These photos were sent into us as part of a customer review for the product; you can see they are also waxing the pine in the second photo. I don’t have every single oil-based finish in the world. But I do have four of the most common – Hope’s tung oil, Klean Strip boiled linseed oil (BLO), Tried & True Danish oil and Howards cutting board oil. Further, avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. For noting, a fresh finish coat can restore the wood's lustre if it looks dull or worn.

The way to do this is just like how exterior varnishing is often refreshed, some sanding followed by application of fresh varnish. In exterior work the sanding would be more extensive and heavier, to remove degraded finish from the surface and reveal cohesive varnish beneath, in this case you'd just be sanding or scuffing very lightly to provide a 'key' to aid adhesion of the new varnish. Acrylic varnishes are usually water-based. They offer very high transparency levels and don’t go yellow. They are easier to clean up and don’t give off fumes, but don’t tend to penetrate the wood as well as oil-based products. They feature good UV-resistance and dust resistance, and are often used by artists to seal and protect paintings, sometimes with specialultraviolet light resistors to protect the paint against light. Marine varnish Every wood varnish product is very slightly different. All the products we sell come with detailed instructions and you should always follow them to the letter. With varnishes, short cuts invariably mean you won’t get the quality finish that you were hoping for. Here are some useful generic tips: 7 tips for varnishing wood
