How To
How to stain wood
Staining wood refers to applying chemicals to wood's surface. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change in color. This chemical reaction changes the wood's color from white to brownish. Oak is the most common wood type for staining. However, you can also use other wood types.
There are many options for applying stains to wood surfaces. You can mix the stain with a solvent, such as turpentine, and spray it onto the wood. Another method involves applying a solution of water to the wood. You can mix stains into varnishes or paints to make them part of your finish coat.
Preparing your wood for staining is the first thing to do. 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. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. There are two main kinds of stains available: non-penetrating stains and penetrating. Penetrating and non-penetrating wood stains penetrate deeper than other types, making them perfect for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating oils work best when used with light colors, like maple.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. You should also have some handy rags to wipe up excess stains after you finish painting. If you intend to mix the stain yourself you will need enough containers to hold all the components.
Once you have prepared your materials, start by cleaning the area where you plan to stain the wood. Use warm water and soap to clean away dirt and dust. Wipe down all furniture pieces with a dampened cloth and clean water. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
Apply the stain 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. The stain should not drip off of the wood's edge. Allow the stain to dry completely before you move on to the next step.
Apply a clear polyurethane sealant to protect the painted surface. Three coats of polyurethane sealing agent are required. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
