How To
How to stain hardwood
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 wood to turn from whiteish to brownish. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
There are several ways to apply stains to wood surfaces. One method involves mixing the stain and a solvent and then spraying it on the wood. 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.
Preparing your wood for staining is the first thing to do. The wood must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all grease and dirt. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. The next step is to determine the type of stain you would like to use. There are two main types of stain: non-penetrating and penetrating. Penetrating and non-penetrating wood stains penetrate deeper than other types, making them perfect for dark colors like mahogany. The best non-penetrating colors are those that work with light colors like maple.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. Because you can spread the stain evenly with a paintbrush, it is ideal for applying them. After you're done painting, make sure to have some rags handy to remove any excess stain. 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 the materials, you can clean the area where you want to stain the wood. You can remove grime and dirt with warm water and soap. Use a dampened sponge and warm water to clean the entire piece. You should remove any debris, especially if your plan is to stain darker wood.
Next, spray the stain. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. You should work slowly and carefully. Continue moving along the grain until you reach your opposite end. Make sure that the stain does not drip off the edge of the wood. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Three coats are recommended for polyurethane. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
