How To
How to stain wood
Stain wood is a process that involves applying chemicals to the surface of wood, which changes its color. This chemical reaction changes the wood's color from white to brownish. While oak is the most widely used type of wood for staining purposes, other types of wood are also available.
There are many ways to stain 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. Stains can also be mixed into paints and varnishes, becoming part of the finish coating.
Preparing the wood surface is the first step to staining it. To apply the stain, clean the wood completely. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. Penetrating stains are different from non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating stains work best with light colors like maple.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. You should have enough containers to store the various components of the stain mixture if you intend to mix it yourself.
Once you have prepared all your materials, it is time to clean the areas where you will stain the wood. Use warm water and soap to clean away dirt and dust. Wipe the entire piece of furniture with a rag dampened with clean water. Take care to remove all debris and dirt, especially if you are planning on staining darker wood.
Next, apply the stain. Next, apply the stain to the furniture by starting at one end. Slowly and carefully move along the grain of wood, slowly but steadily, until you reach the other end. Be careful not to let the stain drip off the wood's edge. Let the stain dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat to dry overnight before sanding the final coat.
