The Best Stain | The Expert Lumber Staining Machine

What happens here

The speaker specifically recommends using Expert Stain & Seal oil-based products (transparent, semi-transparent, and semi-solid) with the machine. These oils are highlighted for their penetrating qualities, meaning they fully saturate the wood to prevent drying, splitting, checking, and cracking, thereby increasing the wood's lifespan. A crucial advantage is their self-leveling nature, which prevents fingerprints and marks from handling, especially important for both smooth and rough-sawn lumber, as the oil will self-flow and correct imperfections within approximately 5-10 minutes.

Goal: Choose penetrating, self-leveling oil-based stains for optimal results and ease of use.

What they say

Hide

the sun expert saying SE oils I use their transparent semi-transparent and semi solid oils and there's uh multiple reasons why I absolutely love their products uh paired with this machine they are penetrating oils means the oils are going to penetrate in the wood they'll literally penetrate you all the way through the entire Lumber and it's adding something to the wood keeping it from drying out splitting checking cracking all that stuff you're adding something to the wood that's going to increase the life for the wood it is a self-leveling oil and this is extremely important when it comes to using a machine like this you're handling the lumber you're pushing it through coming out the backside you're grabbing it you're handling it with your hands and you're touching it with your fingers and stuff if you are using like uh paints and stains drying paints and stains latex oil base that handling of it could leave fingerprints especially if you're on like a smooth um smooth Lumber or smooth type wood so you got to be very careful how you handle it coming out the end with expert s and SE oil being a self-leveling oil I don't have to worry about that at all where the wood is smooth this is rough sun which is very common up here you can just grab it handle it it's going to self-level it's going to sell flow in eventually probably about 10 minutes it's usually about you know 5 10 minutes you won't even see those fingerprints at all an hour later you're not going to see them at all you can actually up stack them
