I have just had a go at blending two stains on a piece of ply as a test.
Not sure about the result - don't know whether sanding it would help blend it a little better
I am going to use the black stain first to try and pop the flames and then sand back and then do this blend with the outback sunset in the middle and the nullabhor ochre on the outside..??
To get the blend I put the lighter color down first in circular motions and then tried to blend the darker color from outside in
I did this in a circular motion as well but tended to get circular effects in the colors - I did it all at the same time and didnt sand between coats??
Is there a better way to do the blend?
Should I just use the black as the outside color?
I have'nt received the black yet but hoping to give it a go next weekend
Don't want to do too many tests because there isn't allot of stain to spare.
