Back-brushing is the process of working a finish into wood to create an intact, uniform film over the entire surface. It is important when applying stain with an airless sprayer or manually with a brush. LIFELINE finishes are designed to go on in thin coats, including the first coat, to ensure long-term performance. To back-brush, use a high-quality brush like a Purdy or Wooster, preferably three to four inches wide, to carry the finish to the surface and spread it out as far as possible, working into all cracks and crevices.
This involves vigorous back-brushing over the area that has been coated. LIFELINE finishes dry quickly, so it is crucial to back-brush as you go along and not wait more than a couple of minutes before back-brushing it out. In summary, more is not necessarily better when it comes to applying a LIFELINE finish to your log home.

📹 Secrets to Staining Beautiful Rustic Pine Doors!
There is a reason that most pine projects are painted. Finishing any wood project made of pine can be tricky if you are staining.
Thumbs up for packing while staining lol. Smokies? Subscribed for for tops. I have 3 pine doors to do bit going water based. Oil stinks for too long for me. Curious on the Hvlp. I have a cheapie and a cheap 13gal. Compressor. Wondering if enough cfm. Was planning on brushing but man that finish is tempting.
Excellent work! I am impressed with your patience to follow the correct process and resistance to short cuts. Pro tip that few carpenters know. The top and bottom hinges are “set hinges”. They set the door in relation to plumb. The center hinge is the “carrier hinge”. It is only to help carry the weight of the door. Never shim your center hinge. The center hinge should float free to reduce the possibilty of hinge binding and noisy operation. Thanks for the content.
What kind of pine were those? Yellow? You mentioned rustic pine. It looks like the old heart pine in my old house. Thanks for sharing your methods and results. I’m trying to stain/tone my baseboards trim without reversing the grain. The grain looks great natural, but if you want to add color you run into complication. I noticed the wood conditioner doesn’t prevent that. Hell I may just shellac mine and call it good. Shellac doesn’t reverse the grain. Also looking into dyes and gel stains.
I cannot believe after perusal the last couple of recent articles you posted that I have been following you guys since you lived on that property That you sold. I remember they were giving you rules about I want to say goats or the number of goats or something along those lines that were placing restrictions on you guys which obviously played into the move. Now that you’ve been at this for 4 years do Iris do you have an approximate finish date or time That will facilitate you actually being able to move in and live in the house?
Just had my appendix out, and it was a bit rough there for a bit. So I think I’m entitled to a little mush… Jaime, it’s like coming home to hear your voice, and it’s absolutely wonderful to get to see you working with Jeremy on the house. We don’t get to see that too much anymore. I’ve had time to think about how to respond to your article on why you won’t be making too many homestead or other articles in the future… you’ve pretty-much tapped-out the content and said what you needed to say. Redundancy isn’t your thing. You are definitely a moving-forward kind of gal, and I get that. But I do think that you missed the point that we, as viewers, want to make. Many times, as in the case of Guildbrook Farms, the content drew us in, but you kept us here. You formed relationships with us as your viewers, and we grew to love you. We became invested in you, what you’re doing, and in your success. When you stopped making articles a couple of years ago, I used to put your articles on in a playlist, just to hear the familiar sound of Guildbrook… my happy place. I looked forward to every article, and dropped what I was doing to watch them. The familiar music, the telltale background noises, the chickens, Blueberry (oh, I do love her), and of course… you, Sweetheart. The sound of your voice is like coming home. You’re a part of us now. And we’ve missed you so much. I think that, for me, I don’t really care what it is you’re doing, teaching, or just taking us along for the journey on… we love you, we miss you, and we just want to spend time with you like in this, and the last couple of articles. The point isn’t the content anymore, it’s just hanging-out with you. So all this to say that I’m so glad to see you, and to hear you talking to us in your sweet, gentle Jaime voice. Thank you for coming on and spending some time with us. I really do hope this becomes your thing again. I really do. <3 Love you, Sweetie. ~ Barbra
I found that the foam sanding blocks worked sealing well on the molding details. My trim and doors were refinished by the door manufacturer to my color specifications. They have a beautiful finish. I then had to match them for all the windows. They turned out pretty good. Our doors and trim are knotty pine.
So I saw your respirator and my mind went back to the beginning of the Pandemic. My hubby is a cabinet, furniture maker and he decided the safest most effective mask to wear was his respirator. It was also fun scaring small children. If I lost him in a store I’d just ask if anyone has seen the white haired Darth Vader. Everyone knew who I was talking about.
If you have an area with exposed wood still like a room in the basement you can skip the sawhorses by using eye screws into the areas the hinges will be to hang the door long ways so you can access both sides as they hang. It can be worth it to tent the room used in plastic in case of splatter or over spray
First — I really love the music style you have chosen for the time-lapse shots. Second, Love that shirt, even if my time was 20 years before your time, I still had all those wonderful museum junk. Third, Jaime, nice hair. Love you guys, move to Minnesota so I can stop by and help once or twice a year.
Loving Jaime’s “Back In My Day” shirt. You just need to replace the 3.5″ floppy disk with paper tape or punch cards LOL I’d be more inclined to do the center sections (where I have to reach/lean) then the edges (ALL of them including top and bottom) then the side rails. That “trick” of using extra long/heavy screws to fasten both the hinges AND the lock plates is even more important on ENTRY doors. Makes them that much harder to knock down! That is NOT a good bit for Schlage, even though they HAVE stepped up to fix the matter. I will say it’s much better than the response from Lagoon regarding the poor suckers who have their 450 catamarans. Guys, please, PLEASE tell us you’re planning on sealing the top and bottom of those doors? Even if it’s only in a clear finish, that wood needs to be sealed
Lovely! Very tedious indeed. I went for the same look in my projects. I was going to suggest Jacobean to you guys with a Spar-urethane finish but wasn’t sure exactly what you were going for when you started testing and asked for suggestions. Spar-urethane is excellent for the least yellowing…I used it on my window sills which are in the NM sun all day and 5 years later… no yellowing, and excellent seal. The one above my sink (window sill) gets wet often from over spray on dishes and it is still like new! I did the Jacobean with the red mahogany touch like you are with expresso. The Jacobean helped with the greening/ yellowing more and kept the expresso brown intact. So, if your going to do anymore staining to match your doors… you could try that combo. Spar-urethane is thicker, so I had to be careful to seal it tight between steps. But we’re very happy we did it ourselves. In the future, as tedious as it is I will finish all my wood stained projects! It looks awesome guys!! Wahoo! Smiles and blessings…
Back in my day, is still my day .. I watch Star Wars on VHS, I listen to Disco on cassette .. I have floppy discs that I use on my Windows 2000 Millennium computer .. and love every minute of it. Popcorn and perusal a movie on VHS is like going back in time, all the graininess is priceless. …. just like the day Star Wars was first released to the public and people lined up to buy it .. on tape. Cheers …
The doors look very nice, good job. When I sprayed my doors, drove some finish nails in the bottom of the door as legs and stood them up against a post to do both sides. Only down side was when a gust of wind tipped over one of the wet doors face down on the lawn, thinner and rags saved the grass coated door. Tip: Poly moisture cures by absorbing moisture from the air. Float a couple sheets of plastic wrap or Al foil on the surface of the poly in the can to keep the air off the remaining material.
Good job !!! Had a business for 25 years,retired now, and I refinished, repaired and made furniture. You did the right things. Pine can be tricky and you did the right steps to get the look you wanted. Subscribed and liked. Will continue to watch you progress and have also enjoyed your canning episodes. Think I’m going to make some Dijon mustard. Good luck with all and God Bless. Best
