    Q:Can the stain colors be mixed to make new colors?
    by|Oct 14, 2022

    Answer This Question

    A:  We mixed Grey with Walnut - gives an interesting complexity and depth to the staining. In certain light or angles, the grey hues can be seen in the grain pattern - very subtle, but very cool.

      A:  We have not done this ourselves, so we can't speak to the results. But, cheers to the creativity!

        Q:If your product is NOT FOOD SAFE, how do you justify putting it on a ?BUTCHER BLOCK? which clearly will contain FOOD? You?ve convinced me I need to keep looking, for a dyed stain!
        by|Oct 3, 2022
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Typically, those who cut food directly on their butcher block just use a food safe mineral oil, as they will need to sand out cut marks, and reapply their oil often. Most often, those who choose to stain their countertops are committed to keeping that finish looking great longer, thus they use a cutting board.

            Expensive. Satin top coat can mislabeled.
            Both the 1/2 pint gel stain, and the 1 pint satin top coat are 237mL. Vellly interesting. Ebony stain sucked into HR birch top very quickly. I wiped onto 2' by 5' piece in small sections, rewiping with clean rag as I went. Blended well.

              I used this to seal and put a nice smooth finish on my butcher block desktop that I built to work from home. It's a great product. I've bought two cans actually to finish two desks. Definitely recommend it.

              Used this satin top coat along with HD's dark walnut gel stain on the below Ash Butcher Block also from HD: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hardwood-Reflections-Unfinished-Thermally-Modified-Ash-4-ft-L-x-25-in-D-x-1-5-in-T-Butcher-Block-Countertop-1525HDFJEGTA-50/311324662 Results were amazing (see pictures). Note again that I used both the stain and the satin top coat to get this result. I would highly recommend purchasing the two together. Especially, if purchasing one of HD's butcher blocks. I applied the satin top coat after allowing the walnut stain to dry for a full week. To apply, I ended up using a white t-shirt, rubbing on liberally and rubbing off excess almost immediately. After each coat cured for 24 hours I would sand with fine grit sandpaper and then reapply. I repeated this process 4 times. I waited one week before attaching the butcher block to a work desk base. The surface was cured enough for use after this wait period. Two months later and the desk still looks great. Highly recommend!

                Used this gel stain on the below Ash Butcher Block from HD: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hardwood-Reflections-Unfinished-Thermally-Modified-Ash-4-ft-L-x-25-in-D-x-1-5-in-T-Butcher-Block-Countertop-1525HDFJEGTA-50/311324662 Results for amazing (see pictures). Not that I also purchased HD's Satin Topcoat from the same line of Hardwood Reflections line of stains and finishes. I would highly recommend purchasing the two together. Especially, if purchasing one of HD's butcher blocks. Stain was easy to apply. I ended up using a foam brush to apply and an old white shirt to wipe off excess. I would recommend wiping off pretty immediately after applying. The wood soaked in the stain quickly and only required one generous coating. Don't be afraid to over-apply as long as you are wiping off excess thoroughly and are uniform in your approach. I let the stain dry for a full week before applying the satin topcoat. For my application, that much of a wait period was sufficient. The end result was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend.

                  I figured with it being butcher block stain it would have been food safe, nope says it right on the container i should have read closer before i ordered. Returned it and used mineral oil instead. Picture is with mineral oil.

                  We offer a variety of finished and some are safe for food contact and some are not. This product changes the color of wood and then apply a top coat once dry. HFAria
