Sure, I'm happy with how it came out but in my mind BEFORE I did it, I was totally seeing lime stain with a black wash, and black bamboo.

He said not to worry if you can't find a stain in the exact color...just used watered down acrylics. Wipe it on and wipe it back off! If you really feel it needs to be a bit more "durable", put a clear coat over it.<br /><br />However, he said he's come back to wood that he stained with acrylic at a wide variety of time later (like, ten years variety) and it hadn't faded!Byrdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165739472785752139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630228553410737571.post-33828355916680693492011-11-03T14:00:32.995-07:002011-11-03T14:00:32.995-07:00Thanks!

Since it's a water based stain, I wasn't worried about it leaking into the paint or anything. Plus, I was using black.
