How To
How to stain wood
Staining wood refers to applying chemicals to wood's surface. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change in color. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. Oak is the most commonly used wood for staining, but other woods can also be stained.
You can apply wood stains in many different ways. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. 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.
Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. Clean the wood to get rid of any grease, dirt or other substances that might be detrimental to the stain's application. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. Penetrating stains are different from non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating stains work best with light colors like maple.
After deciding on the type of stain, you want to apply, prepare your tools. The best tool for applying stains is a paintbrush. It allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. You should have enough containers to store the various components of the stain mixture if you intend to mix it yourself.
Once you have prepared all your materials, it is time to clean the areas where you will stain the wood. Use warm water and soap to clean away dirt and dust. Wipe the entire piece of furniture with a rag dampened with clean water. 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. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the opposite end. Be careful not to let the stain drip off the wood's edge. Allow the stain to dry completely before you move on to the next step.
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.
