Doesn’t wood conditioner lift wood fibers requiring a light sand?
Great video! I feel more confident in tackling my table! Also, great how to be a good dad tips 😊 4:18
Awesome, glad it was helpful! Thanks I’ve got a good little helper. She’s such a daddy’s girl and I love how she always wants to help me!
Americans are too lucky, you have all the products required for such a good result. Here in europe we cannot do projects like these because they will end up blotchy and unprofessional. not to mention sticky
Yes I feel very lucky! Is it the weather and conditions or the products available?
@@MyProjectWeekend We have high humidty but I can deal with that. What I cannot deal with is that its impossible to find high quality wood stain, without varnish in it. The ''pre-staion'' wood conditioner doesn't exist here either. and besides all that, there is only 1 kind of polyurethane available. Other finishes other oil finishes which are not the most resilient event though they bring out the wood nicely
underrated video
Thanks I appreciate that!
yea a lot of vids are like "add a coat" and then skip to it all done
Thank you so much, im going to do this. And you're an awesome father
Thanks that made my day! My daughter is so helpful and it’s great she wants to spend time with me.
I have an ikea product calls Behandla …. No info on the tin no technical info it doesn’t even say what it’s for ! So I binned it and bought Osmo oil for all my worktops .. much better . Why would I use a product with no info . ?
Is it possoble to avoid blotchiness? The lighter spot at one of the ends would drive me mad.
I have a IKEA Galant desk that has a rough wood veneer top. It's not smooth and feels like rough wood to the touch. Would I have to use a filler on top first and then stain or will I have to sand it smooth? Thanks.
Thanks , so 220Grid used on final stage
would you recommend sealing the underside of the table or will it be safe from warping or cupping when only doing the top side alone?
I personally wouldn’t seal the underside of the table. It’s mainly to protect the finish and area of the table that receives use. Unless the bottom of the table is seen or used I wouldn’t see a reason to seal it. Most tables I see don’t have a finish underneath.
Thansk, but all the products you used are in ikea store? I saw ikea stain im thinking of buying ikea table and doing it … i will try your method xp
I only bought the table at IKEA. Everything else I bought at the hardware store.
@@MyProjectWeekend okay thanks 😇😇😇
Hiya! Does this work for any of their particleboard desk tops with veneers? The one i have is the Målskytt 🤔
If I'd want to paint the table would I follow the first 2 steps? After sealing it prime it then paint it?
Hi there! If you want to paint the table you don’t need to seal it first. You can just prime it then paint it. Is the table unfinished wood?
can i directly put sealer after sanding? i actually like the original color of the wood
Yes you can!!
hey! thanks for the informative video. I was wondering if there are any types of sealants that dry matte rather than have a reflective gloss?
Of course! I have seen some polyurethane sealers that are matte, Varathane makes one. I’ve never used one so I can’t speak to how it looks. Satin will be the next choice for lower reflective sealers then gloss has the most shine.
Do you sand after each finish coat?
No I only needed to sand after the first coat dried. Run your hand over it and it will feel bumpy or sandy. After I sanded down the first coat all the other coats were smooth.
What type of/level of sand paper should be used?
I used 220. both to sand the wood table and to sand the polyurethane after the first coat.
Can you explain why each step is required? I’m trying to learn and also do 😅
Also, do all stains appear darker than they are? And if I use the seal on the same pine chairs from IKEA, would that work? Also, how do you calculate how much of each you need? For instance, this will be my only project that requires me to stain, sand, etc
Is it possible to minimize the excess stain so you can wipe lesser also can save some materials to cover more sections
Yes I would just put less stain on the brush. A little goes a long way!
Great tutorial. Short, sweet and to the point.
Thank you! I try to be as concise as possible!
Is the "sealer" the Polyurethane link?
Yes it’s is! Are you thinking of doing a project like this?
@@MyProjectWeekend Yes, not a table but hubs brought home a blanket ladder from Ikea, and I wanted to stain it instead of just the plain unfinished wood. This was a great tutorial. Thank you - also appreciated having the links to the products.
@@MyProjectWeekend Do the products last for several jobs? I guess it depends on how big a project you're tackling?
WHat's the color of your stain? looks gorgeous
I agree! I used Varathane Dark Walnut. I think I put all the links to items I used in the description of the video. I ordered most of the items online however most big hardware stores should have everything as well.
@@MyProjectWeekend yes I clicked into the link and found the product. But want to make sure I buy the exact shade you used. Thanks!
Can I seal a standard, non-stained desk this way?
Yes as far as I know any wood table can be sealed like this.
