@@Ontheflipside2021 Hi, That’s a really good comment, thank you for sharing! Since soy sauce is water based, it essentially acts as a water based stain. I left it to fully dry and sealed it with a wax, so the soy sauce shouldn’t cause mildew. Also, since it has a high salt content, it’s resilient against mildew. Mould can grow if the wood itself gets damp and doesn’t dry out - like if the furniture is in a damp garage in the winter. I feel like as long as the stain you are using is water based, like soy sauce, tea or coffee, and it has fully dried before you apply a topcoat, it should not cause an issue. :)
I love how it turned out, beautiful. The soy sauce worked very well. The blue gave it a new life. Loved your video. Linda Beals.
@@AlenBeals Thank you so much Linda, that’s a very kind comment! I’m happy that you liked the video 🥰
Lovely!
I have used coffee and tea for stain, but will now try soy sauce.
Thanks!
@@jeepstergal12 I haven’t used those before, I shall try them too 😁
My question is wouldn’t that mildew? I don’t recommend staining with anything you can eat.
