Your sample board must be scraps of your project wood, sanded exactly as you'll sand your project. Mask the board Into sections and put your "starting" stain on one section. Write the brand, color name, and date on the back. Next, measure out portions of two or more stains, or portions of stains, color concentrates and solvent, and stain the next block of the board, writing the formula on the back of that block. Having these formulas lets you mix the same stain again, in any volume you need. - of*" •itp&^l The Right Ingredients Before we dive in and get our hands dirty, you need to know what materials are compatible. You can mix two or more store-bought stains if they are the same base. Oil-based stains will mix with other oil-based stains, and waterbased will mix with waterbased. In addition, you can add concentrated color pastes, which are available in several forms. For oil-based stains, use artist's oil colors, which are sold in tubes at any art or craft supply store, or Japan colors, which come in cans at most woodworking specialty stores. Artist's oils will slow down the drying time of the stain slightly, but Japans will not. With waterbased stains, use either artist's acrylics, also in tubes at art stores, or small squeeze bottles of waterbased acrylic craft store paints, which are both cheaper and less concentrated. Neither will affect drying time. Remember that you can always weaken your final color by adding more solvent: mineral spirits with oil stains and water with waterbased. continues on page 90 ...
