How To
How to stain wood
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its 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. 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. You can mix stains into varnishes or paints to make them part of your finish coat.
Preparing the wood surface is the first step to staining it. You must clean the wood well to remove any grease or dirt that might interfere with the application of the stain. Sanding can smoothen out scratches and uneven spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. 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. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as 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. 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. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag with clean water. Be sure to get rid of all loose material, especially if staining is planned for darker wood.
Apply the stain next. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. Slowly and carefully move along the grain of wood, slowly but steadily, until you reach the other end. The stain should not drip off of the wood's edge. Before you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.
To protect the painted surface, apply a coat of clear polyurethane sealant. Apply three coats polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat to dry overnight, before sanding.
