Review: Nice stain, but tricky to finish well - I wanted a water based stain to soak into my wood and colour it. I do not really like using a coloured varnish, so wanted to do this in two stages. This stain is easy to work with. It has the same consistency as water, so if brushing, use a jam jar or something to help reduce the amount of stain on the brush. Then I found it best to quickly brush it out (almost scrubbing it) as far as possible. Overloading the brush will cause splashes, and pooling on the surface. The colour will not be very dense on a first pass like this, but it might be surprisingly nice and even. If I was doing the same job again, I might have actually stopped before developing the full colour. The first passes left a subtle colour and more prominent grain, which was nice. Using a dark stain (French Oak), this disappeared somewhat with further coats. The stain finish is very flat matt and actually begs to just be polished, but I had planned to finish with a satin varnish to make it look a little more saturated, and to protect the wood from splashes, and make for easy cleaning. I used the littlefriars water based varnish, but this was much more tricky than the stain. The water based varnish started picking up stain in seconds, and spreading it around like a coloured varnish (which I wanted to avoid as it is too easy to produce streaks). I am not sure if an oil based varnish would have had the same effect. It is probably best to test the system components before attacking the final product, but does anyone ever do that ? I dont as I am too impatient, so I can blame myself for shortcomings in the finish. With the water based varnish picking up some of the stain, it was inclined to leave darkened marks at the end of brush strokes. If ending brush strokes on the same line (as I would for painting). This produced noticable lines accross the work, so I started ending lines in a sawtooth to avoid straight lines. Grain differences seemed also to be exagerated by the varnish interaction with the stain. I now think that the first varnish coat needs to be applied reasonably thickly and very quickly , to avoid going back over the same patch (in total opposition to painting the stain). Returning to a patch even within seconds will result in picking up the stain in the varnish and moving it in an undesirable way, and probably resulting in patchy or streaked work. Most of my difficulty was with the varnish but this needs to be known when starting out. I still think this is what I wanted and think it relatively easy to use, it just needs care when finishing.
Review: Brilliant, for DIY - ​I recently used the Little Fairs Water Based Woostain for a few DIY projects around the house, and I'm very happy with the results. I had a lot of questions about application, so I'll try to provide a detailed review for others. ​First off, the colors are beautiful and rich. I used the it on some shelves and it gave them a really classic, deep wood look without being overly dark. The stain itself is low-odor, which is a massive plus if you're working indoors. It also dries quite quickly, so you can do multiple coats in one day. ​Now for the "be prepared" part: this is a water-based stain, so it's a bit different to work with than traditional oil-based ones. It can raise the grain of the wood, so you'll want to do a very light sanding after the first coat. I also found that a good quality foam brush worked best for application to avoid streaks. It absorbs very quickly, so you need to work in small sections and wipe away the excess within a minute or two. Don't let it sit too long! ​Overall, I highly recommend this stain, especially if you're looking for a low-odor, quick-drying option. Just be sure to do a test patch first and get your application technique down. The end result is beautiful and long-lasting. I'll definitely be buying more for future projects.
