PREPARING TO STAIN
Decide which type of stain to use. You could use either an oil-based or acrylic-based stain. Whichever you decide, you will also be using the same type of sealer to finish up the staining process. When staining, make sure the room temperature is between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for best results. It is very important to test your stain colours on smaller samples of wood so that you know exactly how the finish will appear.
STAINING
- SANDING. American Pro Decor hardwoods are mostly ready to be stained. However, there will be instances where the wood will need to be sanded down to remove scratches, etc. Brush off any debris once sanding is complete.
- PRE-STAINING WOODS. Not all woods are uniform in colour or texture. Woods are porous with different densities; therefore, wood will unevenly absorb the stain. To obtain a consistent and even finish, use a pre-stain wood conditioner found at any home store. The pre-stain wood conditioner should be applied to the raw wood using a cloth or brush. Allow it to penetrate for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove any excess afterwards. The stain should be applied within 2 hours.
- STAINING. Apply the stain with a wide brush evenly or a rag. Make sure your area is well-ventilated. Stains will produce fumes. When applying, always go with the grain and against the grain as well. The purpose is to apply the stain to cover all visible surfaces. It depends on how light or dark you need the wood to be. If you need a lighter look, wipe off the stain immediately. For a darker tone, leave the stain for 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it. When cleaning off the Stain residue, go in the direction ofthe grain so that the stain will penetrate the grain of the wood. If a second coat is required, it is advisable to light sand the wood with the 120 Grit sandpaper and wipe off any debris. Brushes are better for staining ornate carvings and other had-to-reach areas. Rags are best for flat surfaces. If you are an experienced woodworker, you could achieve an antique finish by using watered-down black paint and brushing it into the cracks and details of your wood ornaments. After a few minutes of applying the watered-down black paint, wipe off any excess. This will add a beautiful accent to your carved wood ornaments.
- SEALING YOUR WOOD. Remember, the stain will only provide colour to your wood NOT A FINISH. Therefore, you need to apply a sealer. Remember to use the same base type of material. That is oil-based stain to oil-based sealer, acrylic-based stain to acrylic-based sealer. Apply using a brush or sprayer. Let it dry. If needed, sand with 220 grit sandpaper. Wipe clean and apply another coat of the polyurethane sealer. Sealers are mostly known as varnish, shellac or wood polish.
