    Hello. Please help. I'm trying to stain mahogany wood to a warm walnut brown. Now, because mahogany is red I'm afraid I will never achieve this look. I keep reading that the only way that mahogany will take a brown stain is to bleach the wood. I don't want to do that. My question is, can I do the process on the video and then apply the warm walnut stain that I want? Should I use a green undertone stain to cancel out the red? Thanks!

    I think my particulate and vapor cartridges on my 3M respirator need to be replaced. How often do you replace yours? It seems a shame that the 60926 needs to be replaced every three months (according to what I've read online). I see that you're using the particulate filters, 3M 2091, on your respirator for this project. Do you switch out filters on the same mask? I love your vlog. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you!!!

    You use so many brushes, can you do a video about how you clean and maintain them. Mine never come completely clean, there is always still some dried paint at the very top of the bristles by the handle.

    Amazing!! Ive seen so many furniture tutorials lately highlighting silk for interiors of pieces! That is such a great reason and way to use it!! How would it do on outdoor furniture, do you know?
    How do you think it would work on a piece I didn’t sand the original finish off? If I just pained and sealed the base color in a flat. Maybe in a burlap like color. (Or even used silk!!) Then did this wash technique over the top. I have a solid wood drop leaf end table, loads of spindles and details, with a bright red spray paint finish. If I TSP’d it and scuffed it up, couple coats of BOSS and then the paints I described. I just love that bleached effect. Or even a driftwood effect. I just can not take off that red easily.... thoughts?

    Unrelated question to this awesome video here but I'm painting an old coffee table that was quite a dark brown with Boss. I'm almost out of boss and it clearly needs another coat...Would it be OK to mix some of my dixie belle cotton paint into the primer? Or would that not work?

    I love your work but this one not so much. The table looked painted not bleached. I hate cleaning brushes and you used like 6 or 7 brushes no wonder you got behind cleaning all through brushes. My father was a professional painter he used disposable brushes he claimed that some of the cheap brushes worked just as good as expensive ones. I know you used some very special type brushes they looked nice did good job but they don’t clean themselves.
