Make sure you give them a good cleaning before you get started!

We used CIL Woodcare Ultra Premium in a semi-transparent color called “Traditional Walnut”.It features deep penetration for enhanced durability, mildew resistance on the stain film, and it protects against fading and UV damage as well as water damage.

CIL has a whole line up of different Woodcare products for cleaning, beautifying, and protecting outdoor wood surfaces, so make sure you read the label so you pick up the one that best suits your project and your needs!Home Depot caries the largest selection of CIL Woodcare stains, including an exclusive range of super-premium stains: CIL Woodcare Distinction™, Canadian Wood Oil, and Fine Wood Finish all with distinct colours, features, and impressive warranties (satisfaction guaranteed for as long as you own your home!).I started out by staining the smaller pieces, like the pieces for the storage trays we built first.

Smaller projects can sometimes take longer to stain than bigger projects because of all the little corners to get into, so getting this out of the way made me feel like I just flew through the rest of the staining process!.I actually kept the inner dividers for the tray disassembled so that I could sort of speed through those parts too.

One little tip that I love is to use inexpensive non-stick baking sheets to stain on instead of newspapers or cardboard.

Keep them only for painting and staining obviously!You get bonus kid points for having a fun activity spread out over a whole afternoon and you won’t believe how excited they’ll be to check and see if it’s time to pour on the next layer..

The real pineapple juice gave it just the right touch of fresh fruity flavor and made it taste truly tropical.We tried some coconut as a garnish.

As much as it looks kind of fun, the texture of the coconut with the Jello wasn’t so great.The pineapple would have been perfect on top!
