What products can you use for Oak?
Is it possible to restain oak trim and cabinets to a darker colour over lighter colour without sanding with a stain clearcoat mix as we have a very large quantity to do?
The short answer is a definitive NO. The clear-coat will not allow the stain to penetrate the wood so the stain (even the ones designed to be single application) will sit on top, scratch, and generally look bad. Better to do the job once (and right) than to do it wrong and have to correct your error before doing it the right way.
What Wood stain or paint is suitable for railway sleepers in great Britain?
i used sikkens HLS Plus: Light Oak after testing several other products (Cuprinol, Ronseal etc) i even used Deck Stain, wood dyes etc on the test areas but chose sikkens as it looked the best and was a low build solvent based penetrating pre-stain which meant it soaked deep into the wood but was translucent enough to still see the grain..... after lots of sanding with a electric hand sander Light Oak dried more like Dark Oak on rough timber but after 2 coats it looks great so beware not to choose a colour too dark like walnut as it will look black..... The downside is the cost £58 for 5ltr, £33 for 2.5ltr £14 for 1ltr..... i needed 6 ltr for the first coat and 4 ltr for the second to stain 50 sleepers... but the finish i got out weighed the cost as you don't want to mess your hard work up at the last hurdle by choosing the wrong stain... whatever brand you choose make sure it is a low build stain as medium to high build smother the grain and have a satin finish which doesn't look right
Should you paint window and door moldings white or stain them for a natural wood look?
That depends on...1) personal taste... Some folks like painted mouldings - then there is the whole, paint all mouldings one colour (white or off white) or paint the mouldings to match the colour of the room debate, others prefer natural/stained wood.2) decorating style... If the home uses a lot of wood (paneling, wainscoting, cabinetry, hardwood flooring, etc) you may want to use stained wood. If the house is painted or wallpapered you may want to paint your mouldings (see the above on the colour debate).3) the kind of mouldings you can afford/find. Composite materials, pre-primed, and inexpensive finger-joint woods should be painted. Real wood, such as clear pine, oak and mahogany (if you can find it) can be either stained or just sanded and top coated with a top quality poly.
