Time for base and casing to go back...Dad had taken down from dining room and had early 1980s wainscot paneling and the matching baseboard that will be going back to the original 10" baseboard and 5" casing to match rest of house.
It is SYP and was stained very dark with (I think) a semi-transparent and varnished to mask the very pronounced grain. I was not here when that was done back then so don't have any info on what was used nor exact process--I can see it was sprayed from a spot or two of overspray that got missed in touchup.
Any suggestions for products and processes? There's old baseboard available that's been out in the barn and have it back clean but will need to match up with new material for the new entry.
I've never tried to mostly/totally mask grain this way so needing some tips/instruction and, if possible, recommendations for specific products.
