Tips & Tricks

Here is the Bar Mills formula for the Floquil Driftwood stain substitute:
 
1 quart Sherwin William's Classic Interior Wood Oil Stain using the base color "Pickled White". Then have them tint it as follows:
W1 - 20
B1 - 16
Y3 - 11
Y1 - 2

This stuff takes quite awhile to dry so be patient.
