American woodstain

[Richard S]

Hello All

I've seen some really nice finishes in america magazines where they dye the timber and then apply a stain over the top and wipe away the excess.

The woodstains available in the states seem different from what is sold over here, all I seem able to find are the exterior wood stains that cover everything in a thick film of finish. Are they different or am I missing something?

Colron type stains are pretty thin if that's what you're after

Same stuff basically - different names. If you're a member, try this which lays out a lot of the basics, gives names and advice. Just one of many on the Taunton site:
