How To
How to stain wooden surfaces
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its color. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. Oak is the most common wood type for staining. However, you can also use other wood types.
There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. Others use a solution made up of water and dye, which is then applied directly onto the wood. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final coating.
The first step in staining wood is preparing the surface. To apply the stain, clean the wood completely. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. Penetrating stains are different from non-penetrating. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating oils work best when used with light colors, like maple.
After deciding on the type of stain, you want to apply, prepare your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. It is a good idea to have rags on hand in case you need them to clean up any stains that may remain after you have finished painting. If you are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
After you have prepared your materials for staining, clean the area. Clean the area with soap and warm water to get rid of dirt 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.
Next, spray the stain. Begin at one end and spray or brush the stain on the wood. Move slowly and carefully along the grain of your wood until you reach its opposite end. Make sure that the stain does not drip off the edge of the wood. Before proceeding to the next step, let the stain dry thoroughly.
Apply a clear polyurethane sealant to protect the painted surface. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Let the third coat dry overnight before you sand the final coat.
