Finish should not be applied until the hardwood has been sanded and restained, if necessary. Finish should always be applied with a brush, since a foam pad will leave air bubbles as it dries.

Stain and finish are not the same thing. Stain applies pigment that changes the color of the wood, while finish protects the wood and prevents drying.

07/26/2018

Indirect air circulation will help the finish dry. Open doors and windows and point a fan near the ceiling to circulate the air without drying one part of the finish indirectly.

Pick the right kind of stain for your wood furniture. Shellac, for example, is affected by heat, so it shouldn’t be used on a kitchen table.

07/19/2018

Avoid applying too thick a coat of finish as it won’t dry evenly and may leave a cloudy haze. If you apply too much, wipe it away with a clean cloth to minimize streaking.

07/17/2018

Lacquer can only be applied with a sprayer in a well-ventilated area. Because it is a spray, it is thinner than finishes applied with brushes or rags.

Polyurethane can be oil-based or water-based. Oil-based polyurethane is slightly more durable than water-based, but it may alter the color of the wood by making it look richer.

If the applied and dried lacquer looks a little cloudy in some spots, that’s the result of moisture being trapped under the lacquer. This can be removed with a hair dryer or it will naturally evaporate out.

Sometimes spills happen to the best of cooks. If you've had trouble keeping kitchen cabinets clean in the past, some of today's finishing treatments can make cleanup and cabinet maintenance easier.

07/05/2018

Wood wax can be applied to any kind of wood, whereas oil finishes have some limitations. Oil can stain or darken really soft wood and some wood won’t absorb it.

07/03/2018

Is there a difference between a cabinet and a cupboard? While there may be on a governmental level (the President meets with the cabinet, not the cupboard), in a residence, the difference is regional and, even then, only in terms of function. Regardless of which term you prefer, both cupboards and cabinets can be refinished.

Natural hardwood floors are incredibly striking, but they take a lot of daily wear and tear. Applying a durable wood finish helps protect floors from shoes, dropped items and dirt.
