Hi everyone
I am making a garden planter and am wondering what to do regarding staining and protecting.
Searching the web there are endless products and suggestions yet there seems to be no straight forward answer.
The planter will be in pine (tanalized offcuts I was given to plane down) and stained/dyed to look old while still showing the grain.
So my 3 questions:
1. What to use to condition the wood to prevent blotching?
2. I have powdered stains I want to use. What to mix them with?
3. What to use to protect the wood?
Hopefully this is an easy one.. Many thanks in advance.
