Product Information

The last thing you want is for your dark stain to turn out blotchy because it really shows, and that can spoil the entire look. Step 1: Ensure the stained wood is completely dry. Squeeze the toothpaste on the stained area and gently spread it using an old toothbrush. The heavy-bodied formula of this gel stain from General Finishes means it does not penetrate as deeply into the furniture as liquid oil-based stains do. Instead, it forms a solid film on the wood surface, protecting it from moisture and physical damage. Oxalic acid is another efficient product that removes stubborn dark stains from wood, both finished and unfinished. This product works by bleaching out the stubborn stain, leaving the treated wood looking lighter and good as new. Also, I did not know to use the sponge brush. I used a piece of a cotton cloth to apply the stain and then wiped it off after a few minutes and then reapplied the stain and wiped again (dark wood stain). I found that my latex or vinyl gloves disintegrated on me.. what a mess. And my ex boy friend is really cheap, so to get a good brush was not an option, but the sponge I will use next time (if ever).

Unlike all the other ebonizing wood techniques, burning the wood surface with flames causes a physical change in the wood.

Next, ensure you have everything you will need within arm’s reach to avoid breaking the workflow once you start the task. Step 1: Prepare the workpiece The only thing I don’t like is the fact that it is oil-based. It needs to be cleaned-up with paint thinner. I don’t let this bother me too much though, because the finish comes out perfect – it is worth having to clean up or just throw out a brush. Step 1: Mix equal parts of the bleach with warm water in a container. Prepare the solution depending on the size of the affected wood. Now if I was rich, I would certainly buy some of those new doors Lowes carries that have the mini blinds enclosed in solid glass. I love those!!! Dip the flaming bowl in the water to put the fire out. Let it cool and use a stiff-bristled wire brush to remove all the charred surface from the wood.

Used Wood - If the wood is old, it may be painted or varnished. If so, remove any old coatings using a Paint & Varnish Remover first. These coatings will prevent the Wood Stain from soaking into the wood. If the wood has been treated with an oil or wax, wipe the surface down with thinners or mineral spirit to remove this. After removing the old finish, sand smooth with #100 Fine Sanding Pad.It’s important to start with clean, sanded wood. Wood straight from the store can have a slight coating on it, so be sure to lightly sand to expose the fresh wood underneath. The heat from the iron should dry up any remaining water. Alternatively, try drying it with a hairdryer. The stain has color-rich translucent pigments penetrating deep into the wood and making the grain pop.

Use a quality brush or sprayer: The tool you use to apply the topcoat can make a significant difference in the final outcome. Choose a brush or sprayer suitable for the finish you’re using. You can use a small fine tool, like a detail spindle gouge or diamond point tool to create a slight defining edge. Then let the stain dry and go at it again with the sandpaper. After you do that, you want to clean the piece with a cloth to remove any dust from the sanding. You do this to make sure it’s all clear and you can catch any drips.

Because most of the techniques described, except (or perhaps “especially”) the burning flame method, will bleed into the fibers of the surrounding wood surface, you will need to create a solid edge if necessary.

We recommend leaving the stain to soak into the wood for one or two minutes before wiping the excess off. This will prevent the stain from staining the wood too dark; you can then apply a second application of Wood Stain if you want to darken the wood further. For example, you can’t merely apply a strip of masking tape and expect these techniques to follow a crisp line. Start with a small test area: Before applying the stain to the entire surface, it’s a good idea to test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the wood. This allows you to see how the stain interacts with the wood and adjust the application technique if needed.
