I was outside getting ready to stain some of the wine bottle stand I made. I opened the can of stain and realized I needed something to mix it with so I started to my garage with the can of stain in hand to do that well I tripped and the can went flying. I now have a patch of grass stained Cabernet but no stain to for my up coming project. I'm a bit up set that I did not the the coverage that was listed on the can.

Sure is a pretty color for the grass Dan. I have done that a few times, but inside the shop.

I like the red color much better then the white that is covering my grass. Also my garage floor is pretty blue due to my hubby wanting to stir a can of paint.

Thanks for the replys. Carole I going to check on line for a sprayer I can mount to my lawn tractor just is case. We have a chance of seeing some white stuff this week I'm hoping it does not cover up my stain work.

Thanks Dan. It's refreshing to see someone else get snuck upon by Murphy.

Could be worse. That could have happened in the living room.

Nice color. At least it hit the lawn not the driveway.

Murphy didn't just sneak up--he grabbed a 2X4 and wailed on poor old Dan

You might just be a trendsetter, that's a better color than I can usually get on my lawn....hmmm, could you show me a sample of hunter green?

[Band Saw Box World's Greatest Scroller Find all posts View Profile Close Band Saw Box]

I glad is just were it did a few feet ether way and it would have been my driveway or patio. Its funny you wanted a sample of green I'm going to be building a clock kit and I was going to use a green dye on it. From here on I'll try to remember to keep the lid on the stain when I'm moving it around.

We do that on purpose here in WA.
A few years ago we had a locust plague and the towns in it's path dyed their bowling greens brown/Red. Apparently it works
