Yes you can clean the timber as well as possible an restain it.
Rough wood I am told.
There really isn't a way to remove a paint thinner stain from wood furniture. You must repaint or re-stain the furniture.
In order to re stain a wood floor you must sand off all the existing finish. DO NOT try to apply stain over an already finished floor. It will not take. You can easily re coat your floor with clear polyurthane.
Belt sander the fastest way.
You can't stain a door that is already sealed. You have to first remove the sealer down to bare wood so that the stain can penetrate into the wood to the color desired, then reseal with a polyurethane or spar varnish.
You can stain balsa wood.
Wood stain is abosorbed into the wood, so the wood takes on the color of the stain. This is why the features of the wood are still visible, unlike with paint.
No, I have tried this and the end result you get is a very washed out blotchy stain that is very hard to apply. You can try bleaching the stain, and re-apply a stain that has a very close color that can mimic the stain you already have.
Wood stain is for sealing and emphasising the natural colour of wood
Yes. Make sure you strip all clear finish off down to bare wood and stain. You can re-stain with same or darker color tone, but can't go lighter in tone. In order to go lighter you have to plane the wood down past the stain penetrating layer. good luck with your project.
Pine is the hardest wood to stain becuase it absorbs the stain to erratically. anonymous@oola.com
It could look blotchy depending on the type of wood and if it's a colored stain.
