How do you stain and seal solid wood doors that are three types of wood?

With tree types of wood you may have to stain each one separately. All three types of wood will have different porosity and maybe a different base color of their own which will make staining the same color a challenge. Perhaps an opaque stain would work better allowing you to see the grain of the wood but have a more uniform color.

You can stain balsa wood.


What does a wood stain do to the wood underneath?

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.


How do you apply wood stain to plastic cabinet doors?

Wood stain needs to be applied to something porous so it will be absorbed in. This does not include plastic. Paint will be your best option. A good paint store will help you with that faux wood look you are after. It's pretty easy to do this, so long as you use the right materials...and that you know how wood grain is actually composed. It has dark and light regions. You need some oil-based paint in the light-region color, gel stain in the dark-region color, a paintbrush and a graining tool. Paint the doors with the light paint and let it dry for a couple of days. Then apply the gel stain. Finally, use the graining tool to make the woodgrain effect--there are instructions on the back of the package. This works with other things too--steel entry doors in particular--and it looks good.


What is the effect if you apply wood stain without wood conditioner?

It could look blotchy depending on the type of wood and if it's a colored stain.

How do you refinish old interior doors?

If you have solid wood doors, first strip your door down to the bare wood. Next sand your door with 120-150 grit sand paper with the grain of the wood. Now you can stain your door with a custom color stain if you choose. Last put some sort of a finish on your door after your stain has dried completely. Any part or all of this work can be done for you at a reputable furniture refinishing shop.
