In this video Mark Donovan of HomeAdditionPlus.com shows how to stain wood, including hardwoods and softwoods.
| Before staining wood you need to determine what type of wood you are staining. If the wood grain is uneven or blotchy, chances are it is a softwood.
With softwood it is wise to use a stain pre-sealer before applying wood stain. After applying wood stain, it is best to apply 2 or 3 coats of a polyurethane finish to provide a shiny and protective finish to the stained wood. |
