I'm sure we all have our favorites, from chalk paint to varnish, dry brushing to rolling but what's your favorite to work with?

    I'm guessing you're talking about furniture. If so, I prefer working with water based stain and finish. I rarely paint furniture unless it's not real wood or already has too many coats of paint, though I have used my heat gun to removed paint before. Right now I've an injured right arm and wrist, from doing something else, so I can't do anything I need to grip to hard.

      @BoL furnitures thank you. I appreciate that. My hubby is home all this month so I'm having him rub me down from my upper right back, down my arm to my wrist in hopes that will allow it to heal without taking pain meds. He also does things that I shouldn't but have to when he's working. I'm with you on wood grain. It's like art to me. I have folders full of pictures of it on my computer. LOL
  • I would have to say spray paint but not on 'real' or antique wood but on just about anything else. I love stain and rich woods like walnut and I love pine stained walnut exposing all the beautiful knots.
