stain soaks into bare wood--that's why you can still see the grain. the Stew Mac stains and other similar ones are water-soluble, so you dillute them in water. if the stain ends up too dark on your wood, you can wipe it down with a wet rag to pull some of the coloration out of the wood.
clear sanding sealer is sprayed on a stained guitar after the staining is all done, to build up the first levels of the finish. |
awesome, man! i think i'll probably place an order today or tomorrow with stew mac for all the items i need. i can't wait to start really working on this guitar!!
