How To
How to stain wooden surfaces
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its color. This chemical reaction causes the wood color to change from white and 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 options for applying stains to wood surfaces. One method involves mixing the stain and a solvent and then spraying it on the wood. Some methods involve a mixture of water and dye that is applied directly to the wood. Stains can also be mixed into paints and varnishes, becoming part of the finish coating.
The first step in staining wood is preparing the surface. Clean the wood to get rid of any grease, dirt or other substances that might be detrimental to the stain's application. Sanding the wood smooths out rough spots and scratches. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. Penetrating stains are different from non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper into the wood than non-penetrating ones, making them ideal for dark colors such as mahogany. The best non-penetrating colors are those that work with light colors like maple.
After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. Paintbrushes are great for applying stain because they allow you to evenly spread the liquid across the surface. It is a good idea to have rags on hand in case you need them to clean up any stains that may remain after you have finished painting. If you are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
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. Start at one end of the piece of furniture and brush or spray the stain onto the wood. Move slowly and carefully along the grain of your wood until you reach its opposite end. You must be careful not to allow the stain to drip off the wood's edges. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Apply three coats with polyurethane. Let the third coat dry overnight before you sand the final coat.
