Step
Surface Preparation
First, you want to sweep all the wood to remove dirt,
dust, and cobwebs. The next thing is to check the wood for
water discolourization spots. If there are any, you will
have to mix 50% javex and 50% water together. This mixer
can still hurt your hands and eyes so make sure you use
gloves and safety goggles. IF you find any rough areas,
sand smooth and brush clean.
Step
First Coat
For the first coat of stain, you want to put lost of stain
on, you always start at one end of the piece and work
toward the other end. Do two pieces at a time then if you
can switch to three pieces. Whatever you are comfortable
with. Do not stop halfway
down a piece then stop. This will make a lap mark when you
return to finish the piece. Always finish what you start.
Step
Second Coat
Follow a similar pattern of the first coat. Remember once
you start, don't stop until the pieces are completed. |
