How To
How to stain wood
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. 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. One method involves mixing the stain and a solvent and then spraying it on the wood. You can also apply a solution containing water and dye directly to the wooden surface. Stains can also be mixed into paints and varnishes, becoming part of the finish coating.
Preparing the wood surface is the first step to staining it. 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. The next step is to determine the type of stain you would like to use. There are two main kinds of stains available: non-penetrating stains and penetrating. 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.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. Paintbrushes are great for applying stain because they allow you to evenly spread the liquid across the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. If you intend to mix the stain yourself you will need enough containers to hold all the components.
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. Use a dampened rag and clean water to wipe the furniture. You should remove any debris, especially if your plan is to stain darker wood.
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. The stain should not drip off of the wood's edge. Before you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.
Apply a clear polyurethane sealant to protect the painted surface. Three coats of polyurethane sealing agent are required. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
