Does Tim-Bor leaves a white visible residue. I am applying it to a knotty pine ceiling with a maple finish. Will i have to apply stain to cover white?

When I rebuilt my deck, I sprayed it on the lumber and I didn't notice any white film. I dissolves pretty well. Mix it with a paddle and a power drill.

I have never used Tim-bor on any finished wood material and I do not believe it should be used on a finished wood. Tim-bor is a borate which needs to penetrate into the wood, not just sit on the surface. On All the wood surfaces I have used it on it did not leave any residue. I would recommend applying it to the wood surface before finishing.

I used it on white wax wood. There was a little white powder residue that wiped off easily.

NO! I used it on a completely white wool rug. It did not stain or discolor.

It's white but it seems to me as if it's more of a primer paint. My husband says it looks like it wasn't painted, only primered. Hope this help!

Lacee, it works on my blonde hair, I have roots too and I've never seen any gray or white residue. It goes on matte and you just work it thru and brush your hair well afterwards.

we applied product to new Maple cutting board was absorbed into wood nicely. after application wait 20 minutes and wipe remaining product away and buff with a clean cloth. No greasy finish the wax in product beads water very well. Have not tried on bamboo but if unfinished would expect similar result. Good Luck! :0)

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.

Depends. This is a cure so it leaves a fairly thick glossy coat over whatever you paint. A couple of coats of primer and then paint worked just fine for me but there was a noticeable lip where the whiteboard paint had stopped. It's hard to see but easy to feel and once you've noticed it then you'll see it every time you look. Sanding down the lip resolved the problem just fine. If you don't stop midway across a flat surface then just primer and paint will work as normal, maybe one more coat of primer.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).

I've used on perfinished with no problems, I've used it on oak and maple. I'll be installing another floor next week and it's a perfinished cherry.

It is milky white when wet and a slight haze but clear when dry. The only checking that I've experienced when applying this product to green wood is when I milled a board with the pith, which is to be expected. I've used latex paint as well but with mixed results. I will only use this product for sealing boards.

I'll call it beige. It darkens as it drys. Not a common wood color. In my experience, it didn't pick up the color of the stain. I was using an oil based stain. In the end, it's not that noticeable as the floor I was refinishing has a lot of, um, character, so these imperfections don't really jump out. I was hoping that since I didn't buy a color matched product it would at least have taken some of the color of the stain.

Wait. I'm not sure what finish ours is. I would not call it autumn maple so maybe ours is a different finish.

I painted mine white. No problem. Not too sure it would accept stain, anyway. It is sort of a rubbery surface. I painted it first, tacked it down around the base of a round stair landing and then touched it up. No problem.Good Luck

It's a mix of both...I applied the color coat very lightly so that I could still see the wood grain. But I think if you'd apply it more generously it may cover it up. It's definitely not as thick as paint but not as thin as stain. I did not use the optional glaze and I can see my wood grain just fine.

I am a licensed pest control operator. If you used Tim-Bor to treat for a beetle infestation (usually little pencil-lead sized exit holes in the wood), then what you might be seeing is the frass (not sawdust) coming out of the exit holes. This will happen even with a dead beetle infestation, killing the beetle doesn't make the frass disappear. To be sure, put the wood on a clean surface, free of vibrations, for a week. If no more frass comes out, they are dead. If more frass came out, without ANY moving of the wood, well, repeat the treatment. Tim-Bor is an excellent, "tried and true", product. Be sure to follow the label exactly, if you do, it will do the job. Good luck, shouldn't be a problem.

This type of stain goes over the surface of wood and is not absorbed. You won't see the grain so much, but it takes a few coats to do a full cover. This product is not absorbed into the grain, so it covers the grain to some degree. I suggest you look at Pinterest, java stain on oak cabinets and see what you find there to get some ideas.
