I’ve seen some posts on here about using glue sizing as a way to prevent pine end grain from absorbing too much stain. What I haven’t seen is the proportion of water to glue. I’m probably going to use white glue, as I don’t have any shellac, and don’t often stain my wood projects.
Thanks.

Wipe it on , let it dry, sand off. 2-3 times on the end grain but one is enough for the rest. -- Website is https://craftingcouple.com/
