If your stain looks too heavy, just use a soft cloth and dab it into the wax and apply it to the canvas to pull stain off. It has to be the natural kind...Minwax makes one that they sell at Lowe's. I hope this helps!Kristi Dominguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614140282816582397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127662372199652126.post-13180556842089884632016-07-14T17:23:20.604-07:002016-07-14T17:23:20.604-07:00So say I re-created this look on a plain (unpainte...So say I re-created this look on a plain (unpainted) canvas using acrylic paint (no chalk paint). So I have a herringbone pattern with plain/blank white lines of naked canvas. Do you suppose I could still apply the dark walnut stain to this piece (without having the chalky finish)?

The hotter it is (I'm in Texas, so I don't use this method in the summer months as much as other times of the year), the quicker the stain "sets". The key is working quickly. You can use furniture wax to pull off stain if you use too much. Sometimes, I dilute my stain (if it's water-based) with a little water Kristi Dominguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614140282816582397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127662372199652126.post-25892954509667607332015-06-27T10:10:00.828-07:002015-06-27T10:10:00.828-07:00i have an art degree and didnt think of this. grea...i have an art degree and didnt think of this. great job. this is perfectAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202094178802720420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127662372199652126.post-805180299195876372015-06-27T09:59:21.239-07:002015-06-27T09:59:21.239-07:00This would be my first attempt at staining over pa...This would be my first attempt at staining over paint, so I'm a little weary.
