Many people are trying to replicate Floquil’s Driftwood stain color. Here’s a recipe that is nearly a dead ringer for the original.
Start with 1 qt of Sherwin Williams “Pickled White” Interior Wood Oil Stain Wood Classic.” Have the following tint added:
W1-20
B1-16
Y3-11
Y1-2
The only requirement is that the Sherwin Williams outlet you get this from must have the computerized mixing setup.
[This information originally appeared on the On30Conspiracy on August 7, 2000.]
In use, the stain needs to be thinned with approximately 1 1/2 quarts of Diosol.
I’m also told that the mixture works equally well using the newer water-based variant of the Pickled White stain. Again, it will need to be thinned prior to use, using water and a little rubbing alcohol.
