Product Information

A wood stain will change or enhance the natural wood colour. Staining wood isn’t the same as painting it because, rather than covering up the natural wood grain, when you stain wood, it enhances and showcases the grain. Natural wood stain is essential for any substance that does not use a chemical reaction to alter the natural state of wood. Varnish is a clear and transparent wood finish that is semi-gloss and sits on top of the wood surface to provide a hard layer of protection. Varnishing over wood stain can be a good idea because it gives you the best of both worlds. You still get the enhancement of the wood provided by the stain and you also get a shine and the protection of the varnish. If you want to prepare your own wood stain color but don’t have time to look around your home, you can also mix wood stains using custom pigment mixers and makers available over the internet.

It’s best to apply oil-based stains outdoors when possible, and if not, maintain as much airflow as possible in the room where you are working.
