A neat little trick that a Pro Painter Taught Me! #painting
What happens here
Before applying, the wood stain or sealant needs to be thoroughly mixed. Use a can opener tool to carefully open the large container of stain. Attach a paint mixer attachment to a cordless drill and insert it into the stain. Mix the stain on a medium speed for several minutes, ensuring that any settled pigments at the bottom are fully incorporated. The goal is to achieve a consistent color and texture throughout the stain.
Goal: Thoroughly mix the wood stain to ensure consistent color and application.
