This is how i do it...
- Sand
- Put a prestain coat. This makes the wood absorb the stain better
- Take a cloth or a rag and dip it in the stain and apply to wood x4 or to the colour you wish it to be. Nice thing about stain is that it looks like what you put on.
What is needed for this?
Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner
Minwax American Walnut Stain
Absorbed Rag or Cloth
Sand Paper 60w
Wood
*Forgot to say make sure to wear some laytax gloves, unless you don't care if your fingers turn brown.
