Comparing Different Kinds of Wood Stain (UK Products!)
In today's video, I'm comparing Water, Oil and Gel based wood stains! I wanted to see how different types of wood stain perform on soft and hard wood, as well as trying gel stain, a product we don't have easily available in the UK.

    I either had the same exact dresser, or one very similar, and of course it’s made better than anything today, but that’s not saying much… it had light, flimsy wood, and the whole thing feels like the legs are gonna give out whenever you try to roll it (it’s basically the furniture equivalent of “a watermelon on stilts”)

Crown strp max professional strength All the product listed above can be found on amazon uk Loom forward to sone more content like this 👏

      So Paint Predator Heavy duty, Langlow strip and lift, TX10, and Bio Strip 20 are all the same as the B&Q Diall. The Polycell Max strength is in the video at 00:07:11. Crown STRP max professional strength is the same as Jenolite. The only one with a different formulation to anything in the video is the Spear and Jackson paint stripper. It has a chemical in common with Diall, but with a couple of additions so I may give it a go.

    I am hoping that some of these "winners" are sold in the US, but if not, I can do as you suggested and look up the ingredients list and find its twin here in the states. Thank you for doing the hard work for me, but can we keep this between us, my husband hates when I use his pristine work shop for one of my projects, so having the right stripper and getting it done quickly, the only thing left in his shop will be a slight odor as he has an exhaust fan system. I will never tell him what stripper I used unless he begs. He is competitive about everything.

  • @flakieflake9616
    @flakieflake9616 3 месяца назад

    There's a reason these liquid strippers are called wallet strippers, and that's because on older layers of paint they don't work. 4 hours and litre of nitromors and a tiny two foot square area of door has been stripped of just one layer of paint. Save your money and your time and just use a blowtorch or a heatgun, there might be a case for using the liquid around glass which might crack in heat, but after the evil people in power forced companies to stop using chemicals which work they are no longer worth buying.

    • @departmentofreinvention
      @departmentofreinvention 2 месяца назад

      They’re definitely not as effective as they used to be. For wood work or walls, something like Kling Strip or Peel Away can definitely be more effective.

    At 16.40, what is the paint stripper you use for stripping that particular piece off. I know you've done a lot of hard work but is there anyway you can do maybe a screenshot and add each square and what stripper was used when you put it in the middle of the square so we can see which paint went to which square? I have permanent chemo brain and trying to keep up with this video I got very lost

    Thanks for this video, it's so helpful! Out of interest, do you think your recommendations would work on the removal of Osmo Polyx oil from engineered wood flooring? I have tried some paint strippers but cannot shift it. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    • @departmentofreinvention
      @departmentofreinvention 4 месяца назад

      So Polyx Oil is designed to really soak into wood so it’s quite tough to remove. Your best bet would be to use a wax remover, there’s a few different ones available. Make sure to keep the area ventilated and work with a mask! And test it on a less visible area first.

    • @JohannaWard-p9m

    • @departmentofreinvention
      @departmentofreinvention 5 месяцев назад

      Most of them get bad reviews really! A lot of people compare them to the older paint strippers that had stronger chemicals in them. PP is great for paint stripping a big surface area, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for all paint stripping. And some of the strippers that did badly in the test actually do a great job for other things. Im planning a video about it ☺️
