A stain is used to color the wood while a varnish is a topcoat used to protect the wood.
Yes, but why waste the varnish. - (it is meant for bare wood )
You cannot. A glue stain, or any stain will show through clear varnish. It is always better to try and remove all stains or marks before varnishing. Almost every glue has a solvent that will remove it.
While it is still liquid you can tell by smell. The water based will have very low odour, oil based has heavy odour. Once applied and dried there is no way to tell difference.
No. You can use lacquer on oil too. Varnish will work well with oil stain as do any of the wax finishes
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.
Wood stain is a colored liquid that penetrates into the wood to change or enhance its color, while varnish is a clear protective coating that is applied over the wood to provide a glossy finish and protect it from damage.
Woodstain is applied with a rag or brush and then varnished with clear varnish, or tinted varnish can be used, available in different timber colours.
Wood stain is a colored liquid that penetrates into the wood to change or enhance its color, while varnish is a clear protective coating that sits on top of the wood to provide a glossy or matte finish and protect it from damage. Wood stain adds color and highlights the natural grain of the wood, while varnish adds a protective layer that enhances the appearance and durability of the wood surface.
To achieve a professional and long-lasting finish when applying varnish wood stain, it is important to properly prepare the wood surface by sanding and cleaning it thoroughly. Apply the stain evenly with a brush or cloth, following the wood grain. Allow the stain to dry completely before applying multiple coats of varnish, sanding between each coat for a smooth finish. Finally, protect the stained wood with a topcoat of varnish for added durability.
Wood varnish and stain are both used to enhance and protect wood surfaces, but they serve different purposes. Varnish is a clear protective coating that adds a glossy finish and provides durability by forming a hard, protective layer on the wood. Stain, on the other hand, adds color to the wood while allowing the natural grain to show through. Stain does not provide as much protection as varnish, but it can enhance the appearance of the wood by highlighting its natural beauty. In terms of durability, varnish is more resistant to wear and tear, while stain may need to be reapplied more frequently to maintain its appearance.
Wood stain is a colored liquid that penetrates into the wood to change its color, while varnish is a clear protective coating that sits on top of the wood. Stain affects the appearance by changing the color of the wood, while varnish enhances the natural beauty and provides protection against wear and tear. Varnish adds durability by creating a barrier against moisture, scratches, and UV rays, while stain primarily affects the color and does not provide as much protection.
To achieve a professional and long-lasting finish when applying wood stain varnish, it is important to properly prepare the wood surface by sanding it smooth and clean. Apply the stain evenly in the direction of the wood grain, allowing it to penetrate for the recommended time before wiping off excess. Once the stain is dry, apply varnish in thin, even coats, sanding between each layer for smoothness. Allow the varnish to fully cure before using the finished piece.

1) varnish 2) use a wood stain
im not 100% sure but im guessing it dissolves the nail varnish! a bit like stain remover
Wood stain MUST penetrate the grain of the wood or it doesn't color. clear coats like Varnish or Urethaneare designed to seal over the stain "color" & keep the wood from being "stained" by all the dirt & spills it endures over time. If you don't sand the old finish off evenly it will keep the new stain from penetrating and it will also allow the stain to penetrate in areas where the old varnish was worn or damaged but not in others making the new stain blotchy & uneven. A good quality urethane is far better and easier to apply than Varnish. .
The different colours of nail varnish is the only difference. Though there make be a slight difference in the recipes used by the various manufacturers.
