How To
How to stain wood
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its color. This chemical reaction changes the wood's color from white to brownish. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
You can apply wood stains in many different ways. 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. Stains can also be mixed into paints and varnishes, becoming part of the finish coating.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. 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. You must then decide on the type of stain that you wish to use. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. Penetrating colors penetrate deeper into wood than those that are non-penetrating. This makes them more suitable for darker colors, such as mahogany. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as maple.
After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. You can use a paintbrush to apply stains. This allows you spread the liquid evenly over the surface. To remove any stains left behind after painting, you will need some rags. If you are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
Once you have prepared your materials, start by cleaning the area where you plan to stain the wood. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Use a dampened sponge and warm water to clean the entire piece. You should remove any debris, especially if your plan is to stain darker wood.
The stain should be applied next. 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. You must be careful not to allow the stain to drip off the wood's edges. Before proceeding to the next step, let the stain dry thoroughly.
Apply a clear polyurethane sealant to protect the painted surface. Three coats are recommended for polyurethane. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
