How To
How to stain wooden surfaces
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its color. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. While oak is the most widely used type of wood for staining purposes, other types of wood are also available.
There are several ways to apply stains to wood surfaces. Some methods involve mixing the stain with a solvent (such as turpentine) and then brushing or spraying the mixture onto the wood. Other methods use a solution of water and dye applied directly to the wood. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final 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 scratches and rough spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. 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. If you plan to mix the stain yourself, make sure you have enough containers available to hold the different components of the mixture.
After you have prepared your materials, clean the area you intend to stain. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Wipe down all furniture pieces with a dampened cloth and clean water. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
The stain should be applied next. The stain can be applied by spraying or brushing the stain onto one end of the furniture. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the opposite end. Make sure that the stain does not drip off the edge of the wood. Allow the stain to dry completely before you move on to the next step.
A coat of clear polyurethane sealing agent is applied to protect the paint. Apply three coats with polyurethane. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
