How To
How to stain wood
The process of staining wood involves the application of chemicals to the wood's surface, which causes it to change its color. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change from white to brownish red. Oak is the most common wood type for staining. However, you can also use other wood types.
There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. Some methods include mixing the stain along with a solvent like turpentine and then applying the mixture to the wood by brushing or spraying. Another method involves applying a solution of water to the wood. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final coating.
Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. 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 choose the stain type you want. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper into the wood than non-penetrating ones, making them ideal for dark colors such as mahogany. Light colors such as maple work well with non-penetrating stain.
Once you have decided on the stain type that you want, get your tools ready. The best tool for applying stains is a paintbrush. It allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over the surface. It is a good idea to have rags on hand in case you need them to clean up any stains that may remain 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.
After you have prepared your materials, clean the area you intend to stain. Use soap and warm water to remove dust and grime. 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. Start at one end of the piece of furniture and brush or spray the stain onto the wood. Slowly and carefully work your way along the grain to reach the opposite end. You must be careful not to allow the stain to drip off the wood's edges. 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 of polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat to dry overnight before sanding the final coat.
