I'm going to be using some casing moulding for a framing of a home-made whiteboard of sorts.
I went to home depot today and found some nice casing moulding I liked. However, it was roughly $1.16 a foot. So the total would run me about $35. This is much more than I wanted to spend on the moulding.
However, I found http://www.homedepot.com/Building-M...splay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051
This is the same exact moulding for roughly 10 bucks. The only issue is that it is pre-primmed. I would like the frame to be stained.......
So I ask, is it possible to strip the primmer off this moulding and simply stain it. I would assume buy a stripper, take off primer, then stain, then poly the moulding.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Im not totally sure if this wood is "good enough" to be stained after stripping the primmer and such.
thanks!!
