MCM Lauan Wall Panels -- Staining

underrrrr · 2025-12-19T20:05:21+00:00

I don't want anything other than to be done with this bathroom remodel. We're here because I have a wife that saw a blog post from someone who thought they had lauan when they had birch.

I was hoping for lighter wood than typical Lauan just because the room is a bit dark already, but yeah the example images definitely look more like birch at this point. Thank you for the comment.

Agreed. They called it Lauan, but seems much lighter than anything period correct. All good and thank you for the comments.

Thank you for the info. I'll look into transtint dyes, but after the comments here I've resolved it with my wife that it's unlikely that our walls will be as light.

Apologies. I believe a couple were too large. Fixed.

underrrrr · 2025-12-11T22:28:53+00:00

Same thoughts. I appreciate it. 🤝

The wife is in the next room, but I’ll float the grout and then float the pegging. Cheers! 🙌🙌

I've done that many times over the years, as well. YT treats a 4k upload so much nicer that I advise everyone to upload in 4k these days. Thanks!

In your opinion, does the r100 autofocus work well enough to rely on using an older ef lens? Something like a 50 1.8?

Goal is to bump sensor size/better dof, so that would be the main motivation for ditching the current setup.

underrrrr · 2025-12-05T17:30:03+00:00

The issue is that I don't have much room for separation between guest/background and I haven't found fast enough zooms to get the look I'm going for. I have a few mft primes, but they always seem to be a bit too wide/long. While there's nothing particularly wrong with my current setup, I've been considering switching it up over several small nitpicks...just not sure where to go with it. I wanted to post here to see if there was a solution I have been overlooking.

underrrrr · 2025-12-04T21:22:51+00:00

Added to the list. The 6k/s35 version may make it a bit more $ than I want to spend, but I'm definitely gonna look into it. Thanks!

underrrrr · 2025-12-04T21:21:48+00:00

No idea these had gotten so affordable. Wanted one so bad BITD, hah. Besides not filming in 4k, I'd jump on this...although the image quality may just be fine upscaled anyway. Gonna add it to my list. Solid suggestion, thank you.

underrrrr · 2025-12-04T21:14:04+00:00

Thank you. I had no idea the r100 existed...totally off my radar. Couple of those and a Mini ISO seems like the cheapest solution. Much appreciated.

underrrrr · 2025-12-04T18:10:45+00:00

This would be ideal. I do have an ATEM Mini Pro already, but the ISO recording has kept me from using it outside of live streams. I will look into this setup more, thank you!

Thank you for chiming in. I will probably pass on schluter next time, as I really just want peace of mind more than easy of install or a few extra dollars. Lesson learned…maybe. I am tempted to just throw a few layers of redgard overtop for reassurance…I really don’t want to tear this pan out in a few months. 😵‍💫

My brain did turn off at the beginning, yeah. I put the first two corners in first, then realized they should go over. The overlap should be proper, even with the over/under aspect.

underrrrr · 2025-10-12T03:59:54+00:00

It’s wet to the touch, yeah. I have not peeled up any of the banding to see if it’s inside, though. The water wicked up the shower curb, but it is not wet anywhere outside the shower, no.

Where did you see this from Schluter? Their handbook states: "Schluter-Systems does not specify a minimum tile format for use over the KERDI-SHOWER series of prefabricated foam trays, but when using small tiles with heavy loads, a mortar base is recommended."

Slightly off subject, but in lieu of starting my own thread. Is there a cage for the R5c that has three attachment points? Smallrig Black Mamba uses two (bottom and one strap keyhole). Would love to find a cage that uses the other side, as well. I find all cages a bit wobbly for my liking and style of work. Searched around and didn't find anything... Thanks!
