When it comes to wood stains there are two main choices, water based wood stains and solvent based wood stains.

Water based wood stains deliver an excellent colour which is quick drying and less smelly. Generally low VOC, they are a better choice for the environment.

Solvent based wood stains are quick drying and remain a popular choice amongst professional decorators. Generally featuring a higher level of VOCs, solvent based wood stains are a perfect choice for exterior woodwork.

1. Before starting to stain wood it's important to prepare your wood correctly. Firstly remove any dust and debris by either sanding, using a wax remover or a paint and varnish remover. Once completely clean, sand your wooden surface down to ensure a smooth and fresh surface.
2. Stir your wood stain thoroughly before application and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the tin.
3. Using a smooth movement, apply the wood stain following the grain of the wood applying the wood stain evenly along the surface.
4. Once finished, leave it to dry according to the instructions. As a general rule, the longer you leave it, the darker the finish you will achieve.
