Wood stain in Spanish
I need to buy a gallon of wood stain, not paint, for new lumber. I'll probably buy it at a Comex store.
I'm not sure how to explain what I want in Spanish. Can someone help me out?

You can try asking for "TINTA PARA MADERA".

Archie is right. That will get you going in the right direction.
There are so many types of stain...oil....water....opaque...on and on. Yesterday at Home Depot I bought a can of stain and the label reads,"Tinta Al
Aceite." It's a thin, penetrating type of oil based stain.

That'll work 'cause mancha means stain, but
the kind of stain that eating spaghetti while wearing a tuxedo is-- that kinda stain.
Never be afraid of making someone laugh: I was in the market and wanted honey and totally spaced the words for honey or bees. I asked for a bottle of
something made by an insect that goes "Bzzz." The guy whipped out a jar of honey so fast it could'a stung me.

Tinta Al Aceite. Oil base is good.
Thanks

You're lucky he didn't hand you a can of RAID.

Doesn't that mean varnish? Different stuff. I might put some on top of the tinta al aceite, but it doesn't weather well.

If your project is outside, the oil stain will dry out. Be prepared to do it again in the future.
Barniz is varnish, but I've seen a commercial product mixture, varnish and stain in the stores. I tried some. Terrible stuff.

The only BANIZ that works well and stays in great shape for years in Baja is the ones you buy at a marine supply store.
Additionally, a gallon of the stuff runs about $1,000 m.n.

Look closely at the can. It may look like a one gallon can, but it's actually less than a gallon now. A true US gallon comes to 3.785 liters
The most recent gallon can of paint that I purchased at Home Depot is only 3.61 liters.

I have been having very good results with a product from Sayer called Protectolack Barniz Exterior Transparente. It's UV protected and fungicidal, and
seems to hold up as well as the high priced spread from the marine store.

Is Z-SPAR still on the market? At a time, they were the best. Of course, at a time, they didn't have much competition.
I'll bet they do now.
