- For the soft wood this is the product to use
-
-
- As the steel brushes are a little to hard on the soft wood unless you are looking for a very rough distressed look a better tool to use is the tynex brushes. These brushes fits on the same head as the steel brushes so if you are doing both all you need is to buy the extra brushes and put them on the same head as the steel brushes.
-
- The stiff tynex brushes are made to remove soft wood only. The grain structure on soft wood shows more soft wood and a little hard wood. This is because soft wood grows very fast in the summer time and very slow in the winter time. This gives you a grain structure of wide soft wood and small areas of hard wood.
-
- The tynex brushes will remove the soft wood but not touch the hard wood. So the result are a weathered look of groves where soft wood has been removed. It looks like light sand blasting when you get done.
-
- With the softer wood you don't need to use a flap wheel before stain and sealer as the tynex brushes have abrasive grits in the tips of the brushes. So the work piece should be ready to finish after you distress it. You can use stain first if you would like and then a sealer coat. After the first sealer coat lightly sand the sealer before you put on the final coat of laquer.
