The only possible thing that I can think of is that maybe you used the steel wool that had the detergent on them (ie: SOS pads). If you used the regular steel wool, then I have no idea what could have happened. <br /><br />Again, I am so sorry!

The stain barely showed up on the pine wood, so I let it sit another day, hoping it'd get darker. Tonight, I tried it again. It was darker, but still looked like it would need two coats. So I applied the first coat, and let it dry. When I went to apply the 2nd coat, what I found was DEVASTATING. :( My crate turned BLUE. Like neon highlighter blue. Not sure how I'm going to fix it. Thinking the $13 crate will end up in the trash and I'll be buying a new one and storebought stain. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230897441183934018.post-79488865087322739192014-01-29T08:31:12.693-08:002014-01-29T08:31:12.693-08:00I am still deciding if I should buy or make them. ...I am still deciding if I should buy or make them. I have an idea that looks fabulous in my mind but I wondering if I should take the extra steps to try it. Like clothes, it may just look good on the hanger.

All you have to do is go on there and print them off. Or if you have a smart phone they have digital coupons too!

My husband home brews beer and I thought crates would look a lot nicer to hold the bottles than beat up cardboard boxes.<br /><br />I will have to remember to look for coupons before I attack this project.

I would say to let the shelf air out outside for a few days just to insure that the smell is gone. <br /><br />Good luck!
