Wood Finishing Tips: Flawless Staining
zongxujian 于发布 l 已有人浏览
Flawless Staining
A fine finish is the crowning touch
that brings out the beauty of wood, but finishing wood is tricky business. Even
master woodworkers get a little nervous when the time comes to finish their
projects. That’s why they don’t rush the job. Bitter experience has taught them
that extra attention to the key steps in the process saves time and trouble.
This article will describe those key steps, warn you about some common pitfalls
and offer tips for a smooth, successful finish.
Sand With The Grain
Sand with the grain when hand-sanding or using a belt
sander. Scratches are hard to see when they run parallel to the grain. But even
the lightest scratches across the grain are obvious, especially after
Hand-Sand the Curves
Click image to enlarge.
Sand curved surfaces—and other areas an electric sander
can’t reach—by hand. Treat all areas equally, using the same progression of
sandpaper grits for both hand and power sanding.
Progress From Coarse to Finer
Progress from coarse to finer and finer sandpaper.
Whether you’re sanding by hand or using a power tool, start with 80-grit to
sand away blemishes, then use 120-grit and finally 180-grit. Using these exact
grits isn’t vital (100-150-180 works too), but it’s important to progress in
steps, removing deeper scratches and leaving finer scratches each
Don’t Sand Through the Stain
When sanding between coats, it’s easy to rub right
through the clear coat, removing the stain below. So sand super lightly after
the first coat, just enough to cut down any dust whiskers on the surface. If
there are bigger problems—such as runs—deal with them after the second coat
when you can sand a bit harder. To repair rubbed-through spots, just apply new
stain. Immediately wipe away any stain that gets on the surrounding
polyurethane.
Sand Without Leaving Scratches
Click image to enlarge.
A random orbital sander leaves scratches that are
practically invisible, so you can sand across joints where grain changes
direction. But move slowly (about 1 inch per second) and apply light pressure.
Otherwise, you’ll get swirly scratches (above).
Watch for Blotchy Wood
Some woods absorb stain unevenly, which causes dark
blotches to appear. Birch, maple, pine and cherry can all play this ugly trick
on you. It’s hard to eliminate this effect, but you can limit it by applying a
wood conditioner before staining. Conditioner also prevents wood’s end grain
from absorbing more stain than the face grain. Get a quart at a home center for
Sand Curves With Pad
When sanding between coats, smooth curves with a steel
wool substitute such as 3M’s Scotchbrite pads. Steel wool leaves fibers behind,
which can cause stains in the finish.
Better Brushes Are the Key
Usually, a brush is the best tool for applying
polyurethane. For water-based poly, a synthetic brush (such as nylon or
polyester) is best. For oil-based poly, use a natural-bristle brush. In either
case, plan to spend at least $10 for a good-quality brush. Quality brushes hold
more finish, lay it on smoothly and are less likely to leave lost bristles in
your clear coat. If you clean your brush immediately after use, it’ll serve you
well far into the future.
Get Rid Of Dust
Dust settling on wet polyurethane will give your finish
the look and feel of razor stubble. So clean the area you’re working in and let
the dust settle. Then dust the workpiece with a soft, lint-free cloth. Don’t
use tack cloth—it can leave a residue that interferes with
Leave Mistakes Alone (Usually)
When you notice a run, missed spot or other problem in
the polyurethane you applied minutes earlier, you’ll be tempted to brush it
out. Don’t. The finish may look wet, but chances are it’s already sticky, and
brushing will only make a mess. There are a couple of exceptions to this rule:
You can pop tiny air bubbles with a pin, and you can pluck out a hair, a lost
bristle or unfortunate fly using sharp tweezers and a steady
Sand Between Coats

Lightly sand between coats with 400-grit wet/dry
sandpaper, which won’t fall apart when it gets wet. A little water provides
lubrication and keeps the finish from clogging the paper. Sanding after each
coat (except the last) rubs out imperfections and roughens the surface for
better adhesion of the next coat. In most cases, this is a quick job, more like
wiping the surface than sanding it. When the sanding is done, wipe away the
residue with a damp rag.
Inspect Before You Stain
Turn out the lights and shine light at a low angle across
the wood to reveal imperfections. Flag the problem areas with masking tape and
sand them out.
Wipe Instead Of Brush
Wipe oil-based polyurethane onto hard-to-brush surfaces
using a soft, lint-free cloth. Wiping leaves a thinner coat than brushing, so
you’ll have to apply more coats. Water-based poly becomes sticky too fast for
Test Stains, Thoroughly!

You can’t rely on those stain samples on display in
stores. Actual color varies a lot, depending on the type of wood and how you
prepared it for finishing. So save scraps from your project, run them through
the same sanding process and use them to test finishes. If you didn’t build the
item you’re finishing, run tests on an inconspicuous area—the underside of a
table, for example. Test stain on scraps to get the color you want. Leaving
excess stain on the wood for longer or shorter periods won’t affect the color
much. If it’s a custom color you’re after, you can mix stains of the same
Test Clear Finishes, Too
Water-based polyurethane affects the color only slightly.
Oil-based poly has an amber tone that can dramatically change the color of
stained or unstained wood. The same stain was used on the samples
Use a Pad on Large Areas
Apply water-based polyurethane to large surfaces fast by
using a paint pad. Water-based poly dries quickly and may not allow enough
“wet” time for brushing out big areas.
