How To

How to stain hardwood

Staining wood can be described as a process where chemicals are applied to the wood surface. This causes the wood to take on a new color. This chemical reaction causes the wood color to change from white and brownish red. While oak is the most widely used type of wood for staining purposes, other types of wood are also available.

There are many options for applying stains to wood surfaces. Some methods involve mixing the stain with a solvent (such as turpentine) and then brushing or spraying the mixture onto the wood. Another method involves applying a solution of water to the wood. You can also mix stains with varnishes or paints so that they become part the finish coating.

Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. Cleaning the wood thoroughly removes any dirt or grease that could interfere with applying the stain. Sanding the wood removes scratches and imperfections. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating oils work best when used with light colors, like maple.

After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. The best tool for applying stains is a paintbrush. It allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. If you intend to mix the stain yourself you will need enough containers to hold all the components.

After you have prepared the materials, you can clean the area where you want to stain the wood. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Wipe the entire piece of furniture with a rag dampened with clean water. You should remove any debris, especially if your plan is to stain darker wood.

Apply the stain next. Begin at one end and spray or brush the stain on the wood. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the opposite end. Keep the stain from dripping off the wood's surface. Before you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.

A coat of clear polyurethane sealing agent is applied to protect the paint. Apply three coats with polyurethane. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
