How To
How to stain wooden surfaces
The process of staining wood involves the application of chemicals to the wood's surface, which causes it to change its color. This chemical reaction causes the wood color to change from white and brownish red. Oak is the most common wood type for staining. However, you can also use other wood types.
You can apply wood stains in many different ways. You can mix the stain with a solvent, such as turpentine, and spray it onto the wood. Others use a solution made up of water and dye, which is then applied directly onto the wood. You can mix stains into varnishes or paints to make them part of your finish coat.
Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. You must clean the wood well to remove any grease or dirt that might interfere with the application of the stain. Sanding the wood removes scratches and imperfections. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two main types of stain: non-penetrating and penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper into the wood than non-penetrating ones, making them ideal for dark colors such as mahogany. Light colors such as maple work well with non-penetrating stain.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. You can use a paintbrush to apply stains. This allows you spread the liquid evenly over the surface. After you're done painting, make sure to have some rags handy to remove any excess stain. If you are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
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 down all furniture pieces with a dampened cloth and clean water. Be sure to get rid of all loose material, especially if staining is planned for darker wood.
The stain should be applied next. Start at one end of the piece of furniture and brush or spray the stain onto the wood. Move slowly and carefully along the grain of your wood until you reach its opposite end. Be careful not to let the stain drip off the wood's edge. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Let the third coat dry overnight before you sand the final coat.
