How To
How to stain hardwood
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. Although oak is the most popular type of wood to stain, there are many other types that can be used.
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. You can also apply a solution containing water and dye directly to the wooden surface. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final coating.
Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. Clean the wood to get rid of any grease, dirt or other substances that might be detrimental to the stain's application. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. The next step is to determine the type of stain you would like to use. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating stains work best with light colors like maple.
Once you have decided on the stain type that you want, get your tools ready. You can use a paintbrush to apply stains. This allows you spread the liquid evenly over the surface. You should also have some handy rags to wipe up excess stains after you finish painting. If you plan to mix the stain yourself, make sure you have enough containers available to hold the different components of the mixture.
After you have prepared the materials, you can clean the area where you want to stain the wood. You can remove grime and dirt with warm water and soap. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag 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. You should work slowly and carefully. Continue moving along the grain until you reach your opposite end. Be careful not to let the stain drip off the wood's edge. Before proceeding to the next step, let the stain dry thoroughly.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Apply three coats polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat to dry overnight before sanding the final coat.
