Tongue And Groove Pine Ceiling Stain
Tongue and groove ceilings are composed of interlocking lips intended to hide nails from sight.
Tongue and groove pine ceiling stain. I am wondering what is the best way to apply clear varathane to the ceiling. It has a vaulted ceiling design with stained pine tongue and groove boards as the material. Stain on pine is just asking for a nasty blotchy looking job unless you are both very competent and careful with wood finishing. We have installed tongue and groove pine on the vaulted ceilings throughout our home.
The reason is that it can add a character to the ceiling as well as the entire porch. Be sure to first test your stain colors on scrap pieces of wood until you find the right shade. We installed it in march and it was too cold to pre stain. Then apply your choice of stain with a short nap paint roller or paint pad and wipe with a rag.
The use of t g material for a vaulted design like this is excellent. An hvlp sprayer seems like it may be a tool worth exploring for this project rather than the daunting task of brushing. Because seasonal movements in the wood create slight movement parts of the tongue tend to become exposed over time. Pine will also change color substantially over time on its own so you may or may not end up with what you envision.
