Staining Tips?....

[Myka]

Brush stain on, wipe stain off. The trick is to wipe it off and not let it soak in.

sponge works well too for geting the excess off , but like myka said just wipe off right away before it has a chance to soak in with a cloth

i was told at rona to just brush it on and leave it which didnt make much sense to me Ill give that a shot thanks maybe for the edges i can just use a sponge or something. Thanks guys

ive always stained with a soft cloth ive used a brush as well but i then wipe it with a cloth

use a stain pad instead of a brush.one way to stain it all at once is put some small eye hooks in the bottom of your door and hang it-letting you stain all sides at once and taking off any excess

Are you going to use any sort of sealer before you stain?

I dont believe so.. I was under the impression this 2in1 stain does the job of sealing as well. I did a water resistance test on a piece I already stained and it seemed to repel great. Way better than this exterior wood stain crap i had before that didnt show any wood grain at all. Is a pre sealer necessary?

What brand of stain? 2 -1 stains are just color and top coat protection not sealers. A sealer makes it easier to stain and sand out any drip spots like you are describing.
