Hi, has anyone had any experience of using this stuff? I'm thinking of using it on spruce TGV cladding (internal).
DRIFTWOOD can be used on smooth planed, rough sawn or pressure treated timber, both indoors and on external wood such as garden buildings, fences and gates. The more textured or grainy the surface, the greater the effect. So, it’s great for distressed or re-claimed wood, from small craft items to large structures.
Mr Littlefair wanted to create a product that would bypass the many and varied methods of producing a ‘driftwood’ effect, most of which are somewhat laborious and frustrating. He wanted to create a product that would give a ‘salty’ weathered, driftwood appearance with a single, liberal brush coat.
Instructions: Aim to apply the dye as an even, wet film, rather than brushing back and forth. The wood should look as if you’ve painted it grey for a short time as it begins to penetrate your wood. Once applied, simply allow the dye to soak in and dry **avoid the temptation to brush it again**.
What's an effective and efficient way of bringing out the grain ridges and prepping the wood for the stain? Is pine a better bet than spruce for this?
TIA
