How To

How to stain hardwood

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. This chemical reaction causes wood to turn from whiteish to brownish. Oak is the most commonly used wood for staining, but other woods can also be stained.

There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. One method involves mixing the stain and a solvent and then spraying it on 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 surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. Clean the wood to get rid of any grease, dirt or other substances that might be detrimental to the stain's application. Sanding the wood smooths out rough spots and scratches. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. There are two main kinds of stains available: non-penetrating stains 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 plan on mixing the stain yourself make sure that you have enough containers to hold the different components.

Once you have prepared your materials, start by cleaning the area where you plan 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.

Apply the stain. The stain can be applied by spraying or brushing the stain onto one end of the furniture. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the 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 of polyurethane sealer. Let the third coat dry overnight before you sand the final coat.
