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 the wood to change from white to brownish red. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. Some methods include mixing the stain along with a solvent like turpentine and then applying the mixture to the wood by brushing or spraying. Other methods use a solution of water and dye applied directly 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. The wood must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all grease and dirt. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating stains work best 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 are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
Once you have prepared all your materials, it is time to clean the areas where you will stain the wood. Use soap and warm water to remove dust and grime. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag with clean water. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
Next, spray the stain. Start at one end of the piece of furniture and brush or spray the stain onto the wood. 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 you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.
A coat of clear polyurethane sealing agent is applied to protect the paint. Apply three coats polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
