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 color to change from white and brownish red. While oak is the most widely used type of wood for staining purposes, other types of wood are also available.
There are many methods to apply stain to wood surfaces. You can mix the stain with a solvent, such as turpentine, and spray it onto the wood. Another method involves applying a solution of water 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 smoothens any scratches or rough spots. You must then decide on the type of stain that you wish to use. There are two main kinds of stains available: non-penetrating stains and penetrating. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable 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. The best tool for applying stains is a paintbrush. It allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over 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 plan on mixing the stain yourself make sure that you have enough containers to hold the different components.
After you have prepared your materials for staining, clean the area. You can remove grime and dirt with warm water and soap. Use a dampened sponge and warm water to clean the entire piece. Be sure to get rid of all loose material, especially if staining is planned for darker wood.
Apply the stain next. The stain can be applied by spraying or brushing the stain onto one end of the furniture. Move slowly and carefully along the grain of your wood until you reach its opposite end. Keep the stain from dripping off the wood's surface. Let the stain dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Three coats of polyurethane sealing agent are required. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
