How To
How to stain hardwood
Staining wood refers to applying chemicals to wood's surface. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change in color. This chemical reaction causes wood to turn from whiteish 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 ways to stain wood surfaces. Some methods involve mixing the stain with a solvent (such as turpentine) and then brushing or spraying the mixture onto the wood. Other methods use a solution of water and dye applied directly to the wood. You can also mix stains with varnishes or paints so that they become part the finish coating.
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 smooths out rough spots and scratches. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. 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. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as maple.
After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. You can use a paintbrush to apply stains. This allows you spread the liquid evenly over the surface. To remove any stains left behind after painting, you will need some rags. 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 your materials for staining, clean the area. Use warm water and soap to clean away dirt and dust. Use a dampened sponge and warm water to clean the entire piece. Make sure you eliminate any loose debris, especially if you plan to stain darker wood.
Apply the stain next. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the opposite end. You must be careful not to allow the stain to drip off the wood's edges. Allow the stain to dry completely before you move on to the next step.
A coat of clear polyurethane sealing agent is applied to protect the paint. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
