How To
How to stain wood
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. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
You can apply wood stains in many different ways. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. Some methods involve a mixture of water and dye that is applied directly to the wood. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final coating.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. You must clean the wood well to remove any grease or dirt that might interfere with the application of the stain. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. Penetrating and non-penetrating wood stains penetrate deeper than other types, making them perfect for dark colors like mahogany. Light colors such as maple work well with non-penetrating stain.
After deciding on the type of stain, you want to apply, prepare your tools. Because you can spread the stain evenly with a paintbrush, it is ideal for applying them. To remove any stains left behind after painting, you will need some rags. 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. Use soap and warm water to remove dust and grime. 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.
The stain should be applied next. Next, apply the stain to the furniture by starting at one end. Slowly and carefully work your way along the grain to reach the opposite end. Make sure that the stain does not drip off the edge of the wood. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
To protect the painted surface, apply a coat of clear polyurethane sealant. Apply three coats with polyurethane. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
