All the products we use to protect the wood (impregnant, stain and varnish) are from the Crea brand from Pinturas Montó and the painting tools from Nespoli Rulo Pluma. More information about the impregnant, the stain and the varnish on the Crea website https://www.creabymonto.com/catalogos... The special brushes for wood that we use to apply the products are from Nespoli Rulo Pluma https://www.nespoligroup.es/ The table we painted in the video is from Muebles Montemayor, here is the link to buy wooden furniture and objects in their online store https://www.mueblesmontemayor.com/ The nitrile protective gloves that we use to paint are from Tomás Bodero https://tomasbodero.com/es/ We have prepared this tutorial to try to clarify many of the questions you ask us about how to protect furniture, structures and other wooden objects that we place outside. Juan starts by clarifying what a wood protector is, that is, a paint that allows the grain of the wood to show through. With this, the wood is protected and decorated without losing its natural appearance. And then, he goes on to analyze how to use these products so that the protection works well. In short, choosing the right product, applying it correctly and carrying out the appropriate maintenance so that it lasts as long as possible as new. Juan is working on a folding pine table that Muebles Montemayor has sent us while explaining the technical characteristics of varnish and stain and going over the main mistakes we make, both when choosing them and when applying them. You will see how stain and varnish are excellent protectors but each one has its peculiarities. Stain is weather resistant and is very easy to paint and repaint but, when it comes to avoiding scratches and other damage, we need to use a harder product, such as varnish. In the tutorial we work with Stain from the Crea brand from Montó. A product that resists UV rays, but Juan is going to explain to you how it is the colour that really protects the wood from the effects of the sun's rays. For this reason, we need to give it a colour, with a dye or in the stain itself. Juan also explains to you what to do before applying the varnish or stain with the state of the surface. An issue that raises many doubts and that we hope to resolve with this tutorial. When to sand, when to apply a coat of Antitannins or a Paint Remover. As our table is new, we are going to prepare the surface with an impregnant. We have chosen a Crea Impregnant from Montó that has colour. We apply it to the legs and all the articulated parts of the table, generously, so that it is well protected against humidity. We apply this and all the products with Nespoli brushes that are specially designed to work on wood. On the top we apply the impregnant in the direction of the grain, taking care not to overload the brush in any area so that the pigment is well spread. When the impregnant has dried, we apply the protective paints. And, to make intelligent use of it, in the area of ​​the legs we are going to use the stain and on the top we are going to apply varnish to protect it from stains and rubbing. In addition, in a while, when we have to do maintenance on the leg area, we can repaint with stain directly, without having to sand. While on the top, where we have applied varnish, when we have to renew it, sanding will be more comfortable. The varnish we use is Crea's Ultra, which is a varnish that is suitable for interior and exterior. We can apply as many layers as we want until we get the desired result, of course, respecting the drying time between coats. Finally, Juan gives you very useful advice for the maintenance of your outdoor furniture. Put them into practice and don't forget that the protection of outdoor wood is not just a decorative issue, but, especially in the case of furniture or structures such as pergolas, it is essential to keep the wood in good condition. If you let too much time pass without doing so, it may be too late to act. We hope we have achieved the objective! If you have more questions or we have generated others, do not hesitate, write them to us here below in the comments of the video and we will try to resolve them.
