The Highland as Spanish style??!! You MUST make an album for that one- makes me quite curious to see what you do with it.

I like to use the disposable sponge brushes that come 10 to a bag, then an old t-shirt to wipe off excess.

I think I have made electrical as hard as it can be for myself......especially when i cut through wires while trimming wallpaper around windows.

Hey guys, thanks for your guidance. Now i think cheap paint brush and a soft cloth will be best. Thanks again

For larger areas, I like to use a small piece of a soft cloth, like t-shirt material, to dip and spread. The smaller the piece of cloth the better. Big pieces just soak up the stain and don't deposit nearly any of it. For small pieces, I like to use Minwax's felt pen stains. No muss, no fuss. And, they are refillable. Just pull the felt tip out, use an eye-dropper or small syringe (like vets use to administer meds orally) to fill.

Carrie, you must know that from experience...???

Welcome - do you have any experience or are you new to the love of miniatures?

It is wonderful that the house will be finished and loved. Expect it to start talking to you about what it wants you to do with it! Enjoy!

I have used a cheap paint brush and a soft cloth and just dipped the whole piece in the stain. The brush flicked stain everywhere. Dipping the pieces wasted stain and was too messy. The soft cloth to apply and another to wipe off excess stain was just right. But that is me. Try different ways and see what you like best.

The wood grain most dollhouses are made from would look 'way out of scale. I stain the wood of the floors and then cover them with "floorboards" I cut down from iron-on wood veneer that has a grain more in scale and stain them the same color, or I stain the floors after I have scribed "boards into them if the grain isn't all that pronounced. I use a piece of old teeshirt to apply & rub in stain; I find that a brush tends to leave uneven streaks and I have to go over it with the rag to even out the stain anyway.

Hey i am Hennry, I was making a dollhouse but i think i need to stain wood and therefor i am looking for a brush for it. As we know staining a wood improves the color of the wood and makes the natural grain of the wood more visible. So it will be good for my dollhouse. I checked one article for these brushes to stain wood but i can't come on a result. And i also read that we can use a paint brush for wood stain. Want to know your views on it. And if not paint brush then which brush will be best. Thanks in advance

Hello from Newbie and welcome from US

I've been looking around for those exactly! Haven't found any yet though. . .

Like Kathie said, don't go over. The lights can be finicky so don't push your luck.....seriously! You can blow the fuse or the lights simply won't illuminate. It is not worth trying since trouble shooting a problem can be a nightmare. You can swap out the transformer and buy a larger one separately from Cir-kit that is meant for more bulbs.
