As the timbers are removed we select the finest ones, de-nail them by hand, and send them to the sawmill to be converted into flooring. First, we find obsolete structures that were built using historic woods such as antique heart pine, antique oak, and wormy chestnut, then carefully remove them - saving them from the landfill and extinction. How is the process of reclamation done? Reclaiming antique building materials involves a number of detailed and dedicated steps. Reclaiming is a great way to preserve history and build Green. These salvaged, or “reclaimed” materials, can then be used again today for new building projects. What is meant by reclaimed building materials? Reclaimed materials are salvaged from old structures that do not serve a functional purpose anymore.
When applying oil, keep in mind that oil also penetrates the wood and will affect the color. For a smooth finish, you need to sand lightly with 600 grit, be careful at edges!įinish as desired with Nitro or other lacquer types or even oil. Mica is a mineral powder that you can feel on the surface. Start a new section a bit above the previous one and connect them by gently rubbing the stain down to the previous section.ħ) After you covered the whole top/sides/back, gently go over it with a paper towel or fine dry sponge.Ĩ) Applying Mica takes some practice especially with larger surfaces.ġ) Apply a second layer to intensify the color, but let the first layer dry completely before applying a second one.Ģ) For a double stain, or combination with the liquid suStain, leave the first coat to dry for at least 30 minutes, sand down till the suStain or the Mica is left in the more open grains. Work fast, don’t let a section dry and don’t rub, but work gently.Ħ)Spread till you have an equal coverage. Apply from the center of your section to the outside to avoid any overspill running down the sides. Ventilate properly.ĥ) Work in sections, for example start at the lowest side and work upwords. Or fill your airbrush and spray an even coat. If you’re going for an opaque coverage, you can use sanding sealer as per the instructions.ģ) If you have open pores and want to have a completely smooth finish, you can fill the pores with a grainfiller in a color as close to your wood as you can get.ġ) Put on some gloves or get your airbrush or spray gun with a minimum 1mm needle and put on a mask.Ģ) Apply with airbrush, fine sponge, a folded lint-free cloth or a folded strong paper towel.ģ) Shake or stir your mixture well before application.Ĥ)Dab your sponge, cloth or towel with your mixture and gently run it over the surface.

Sand down to 400 grit in the direction of the grain and free from dust and grease.Ģ) If you have wood that raises its grain when made wet, you may want to wet it with water and sand down those grains. When mixed with Nitro or epoxy and stirred properly, they will not sink before the product is dried.Ģ) Keep track of your mixing ratio, as you may need to scale up.ģ) We suggest to mix with water or alcohol in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:3.Ĥ) When mixed with epoxy resins, we suggest half a teaspoon on 30ml.ĥ) When mixed with Nitro, we suggest a small teaspoon on 30ml.ġ) Make sure your base is well prepared. Your wood will influence the color result.Ĥ) Put on some gloves, get a fine sponge, folded rag, paper towel or get your airbrush, spray gun and mask.ġ) You can mix with water, alcohol, Epoxy and Nitrocellulose, however they will not fully dissolve and will have to be stirred or shaken regularly. And then we have all the possibilities with double stains, combination with our other suStain products or making some accent spots… Let the fun begin!ġ) Envision your design, make a little draft and write down the color pattern.ģ) Get your scrap wood that is comparable to the project you’re going to stain, sand them and remove dust and grease.
