@Emanuel Isaac Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. You keep it simple and the results look great. I really like the finish on the alder door. Could you share the stain color, what you use for the sanding sealer and for the glaze?
The stain color I used on the Alder was Autumn Oak. For a sanding sealer I sprayed a light coat of pre-cat lacquer. The black glaze was VanDykes oil based. Thank you...I appreciate your comments. Good luck in your woodworking adventures :))
Awesome to come to the comments to ask this and I see there's already the question and answer here! Wonderful video as always! I'll be using this stain and glaze in the near future it's GORGEOUS
Hello Mr Wes. Great video! I’ve been havinga a heck of a time finding a stain for alder that is a soft medium brown like you just did. Can you please share that stain color? It would be a HUGE help. Thank you
Hi...Sherwood wiping stain from Sherwin Williams is my preferred stain for veneer, plywood and solid wood surfaces. It comes in a large variety of colors and can even be tinted for a custom mix. Thanks for watching, Wes
These all look gorgeous! thank you for taking the time to explain everything. quick question, does anyone know why the doors are sprayed flat and not hung during spraying?
My goodness Wes!! I don’t understand why you don’t have 100k subscribers buddy, did you just get your channel started or something? This has been one of the best channels if not The Best on youtube for this type of content!! I do a lot of cabinet work as well as just custom wood stuff and your voice is soothing to me and your method of info delivery is outstanding and you should have more subscribers than you can handle buddy!! Thank you for doing what your doing for us Wes and I pray you keep putting out videos for us, your a gifted man and I’m grateful that your willing share your knowledge and experience with us, thank you very much Wes!! Take care and stay safe out there buddy. Do you mind me asking what state your in? I’m in NC and you just don’t sound like most folks around here, lol
Thank you for watching and thank you for your encouragement. I enjoy teaching with skills I have spent a life time learning and will keep making videos hoping to inspire others. I am an Idaho woodworker now living in Utah. If you think I need more subs just tell your friends. Thanks again.
@@WoodworkingWithWes I agree with the above comment! You do wonderful work and deserve more subscribers! I also think you have a soothing voice. It’s radio quality 😁 I’ll be sure to share your channel with friends and family ❤
HI Wes, I really enjoyed your tutorial. I am in the middle of replacing my cinnamon stained maple doors for my kitchen. I have learned a lot from you and will attmept to build maple shaker style doors. I have been trying different samples of stain finishes, Rubio, Varathane gel stain and General finishes Gel stain. However, I am not totally sold on since my samples are blotchy. Any advice and what is the best topcoat/brand to use?
Hi Wes 👋 I was wondering if you have any advice for me on how I would go about refinishing my dark oak cabinets to look more like quarter sawn white oak? I LOVE the look of quarter sawn white oak cabinetry but my current cabinets are in really good shape so it seems frivolous to replace them completely. Hope you are keeping well! Love your videos ❤
Hi, do you ever find it necessary to use a sealer prior to staining cabinet doors? I’m staining hard maple shaker doors and can’t get the stain quite right. I’ve tried different blotch preventers. I’m Wondering what do the pros do to get a professionally looking cabinet door stained nice and even color? Should I seal the door first with a vinyl sealer or similar before staining? Or maybe spray the stain to get it a more even look
Hi...maple is the hardest wood to get an even stain on. The only way that I have ever been able to get an even stain is with a spray stain and no wiping. This is a very difficult process so be sure to do plenty of practicing first. Good luck...hope this helps. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes thanks Wes I have a Woodsong II product spray and wipe stain. I’m going to try spraying it next and have a nice HVLP setup. I’m going to try both glue size or a 50/50 mix of WB clear and water to try to seal the wood first. Then take my woodsong atain and spray it slowly building layers until I get the color I want. I might use transtint dye to tone it. Also heard shellac was very good as a sealer but shouldn’t be used with an NGR because it will melt the shellac. I can’t switch to a water based stain at this point so I guess shellac is out. I’ll post a picture or video of the doors when I’m Done. Thanks for your help and credit to your site
I rarely use pre stain conditioners, but you might want to do a test sample with and without to see which you prefer when starting a project. Thanks for watching. Wes
Good video! I’ve had problems with that exact spackle flashing through my paint with a dull sheen. Do you not have that problem? I switched to bondo glazing putty and it works better, just wish it wasn’t red!
Hi Tyler...I have used both products with equal success. The spackle requires a little more sanding before the next coat of paint, but I still like it best. Thanks for watching. Wes
What kind of sheen does the lacquer have on your white doors? If you were to build a book shelf painted white would you put a lacquer finish coat on it? Love your videos. Thanks a lot.
Hi...I always put a clear top coat over my paint finishes. It adds to the durability of the finish itself. I prefer a flat sheen rather than a shiner finish...it gives the paint a smoother appearance. Thank you very much....good luck!
Hi Wes, on your painted door; the 3 coats are just the ML Campbell Vinyl Primer/Sealer? Is there any other paint besides the WVP? Thank you in advance sir!
Could you tell me what is the purpose of each stage: Seal, Glaze, and Top Coat. I have my assumptions but I am new to woodworking and I never read a good answer that tells me why to seal or not glaze or not.
Let's take this in order...stain first the raw wood to the desired color you choose. Then a sealer coat to seal in the color and apply the glaze (glaze cannot be applied directly to stain) to highlight the profiles of your door. Final step is to apply a top coat to seal your glaze and provide a lasting durable finish. Hope this helps. Wes
Wes, Three question for You. On the White Paint is that a Oil Base White Paint or is It Water Base Paint ?Another thing per 16 ounces of Paint being Oil Base or Water Base, what is the amount of Thinner or Water you use to dilute the paint for spraying? With Oil base Paint are you using Mineral Sprits or other chemical as Acetone to thin the oil base paint?
Hi Waymon...the white paint I use is a tinted vinyl sealer. I don't thin my material when I spray it and I clean up with lacquer thinner. Thanks for watching. Wes
Hi wes, coming from a rookie, what is the significance of using the sanding sealer between glazing? Do you still use a sanding sealer if you dont glaze? What sanding sealer do you use? Thanks
Glaze can not be applied directly to a stain finish as it will destroy the consistency of the stain. The sealer coat protects the stain and allows the glaze to just accent your finish. There are many different types of sealers...I suggest you check with your paint supplier. I am now longer able to get the sealer that I prefer so I am testing out different products myself. BTW...no sealer is required when you are not glazing, just top coat. Good luck! Thank you very much.
I am referring you to a video we did on a more detailed white door finish. I think it will answer your questions. Thanks for watching. Wes ruclips.net/video/LGiyPbpYhHY/видео.html
So I started to watch your video, and when you got to the spray coat on the Alder door, you didn't tell us what your were spraying! Then you went on to the black glaze coat and again didn't tell us what brand, or anything else about this "glaze". As most people are watching your videos to learn these are kind of important details. So, I'm sorry but I'm outta here!
You're a great teacher, brother! I appreciate you putting together these videos for us. I have learned a lot!
I’ve been doing finishing for over 40years and I still learned something from this! Great instructive video Wes thanks 🙏

What would you recommend for stain on oak plywood ❓

The spraying can be done either way...it just depends on the spray booth set-up. Thanks for watching. Wes
Flat=no runs, vertical=runs
I spray my doors flat too!
What type of black glaze did you use

HI I have a starter kitchen cabinets that was never finished, now it has stains. Can it be stained and finish?
Hi...typically, they would have to been re-sanded to take out the stains before finishing. Thanks for watching, Wes
Do you ever use a pre stain wash to prevent stain blotching?
I have never had success with a pre-stain solution like you described. Thanks for watching, Wes
After you stained, do you leave it to cure before top coat?
Yes...I wait at least the recommended drying time, usually 1 hour. Thanks for watching, Wes
Your vid’s are great and helpful. How long do you wait for drying time before respraying?
Would you say putting a coat of polyurethane would be done the same way as the lacquer you use?
Yes it would be the same....thanks for watching, Wes

The color or stain looks so even on the mahogany door. I can’t get the color to come out that even
Remember that good finishes start with proper sanding that will even out your stain. Thanks for watching, Wes

What did you use for a top coat over the painted doors? Same precat lacquer? Great video!
Yes just the lacquer. Thanks for visiting and subscribing.

Naw man. Get some 3 in one Sherwood, choose levels of glosses and tint to your desire, or not. Spray a coat, slick it out. Repeat twice
Good info, but a lot of useless information. Too long to get to the point. It is a problem!
