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. Oak is the most commonly used wood for staining, but other woods can also be stained.
There are many ways to stain 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. 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 the wood removes scratches and imperfections. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper into the wood than non-penetrating ones, making them ideal for dark colors such as mahogany. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as maple.
Once you have decided on the stain type that you want, get your tools ready. Because you can spread the stain evenly with a paintbrush, it is ideal for applying them. You should also have some handy rags to wipe up excess stains after you finish 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 your materials, start by cleaning the area where you plan to stain the wood. Use soap and warm water to remove dust and grime. Wipe the entire piece of furniture with a rag dampened with clean water. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
Next, apply the stain. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side 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. Before proceeding to the next step, let the stain dry thoroughly.
To protect the painted surface, apply a coat of clear polyurethane sealant. Three coats are recommended for polyurethane. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
