Both Iodine and Methylene Blue will work - iodine is probably used more often for onion.
There is a certain chemical you can use, but a dark colored food coloring works.
take the root tip (about 1 cm )and put it in dil. HCL solution for ten min. take the tip out and put in acetocarmine stain for 1min. take out the root put it in water bto remove extra stain .
Methelyne BLue is a great stain to use for onion cells. It is toxic, however, and in activities that involve young kids it is often substituted.
Eosinophils
The best part to use is inside the bulb structure. Using the finger nail or fine forceps one should attempt to obtain a 'one cell thick' epithelial sample (i.e. should resemble a piece of peeling human skin after sunburn). This can then be stained with iodine after mounting on a microscope slide in order to facilitate the viewing of internal cell structures
Acetocarmine is a DNA specific stain like feulgen stain, so the super coiled chromosomes during different stages of mitosis present in the Onion root tip cells can be visualized perfectly by treating with this stain.

You should use iodine to stain the cells. Set the cells on a slide, let them dry you will repeat the process until it is completely covered in iodine and then you will slide it in the stage and then hopefully you will then see the sells of the onion skins.
You should probably use a sherry stain that way your longbow will stay with you a lot longer.
You can use an onion to remove the smell from spoiled paint. In the room or area where the bad smell is lingering, peel an onion and cut it in half. Place on a plate and leave it there for a couple of days.
It depends on the stain. If it is a water base stain then no. If it is a oil or solvent base it should be fine.
The first step is to peel or scrape off as much of the stain as you can. Then you should blot it with cool water, which will help dissolve the strength of the glue. Be careful not to soak the couch, since that is bad for the leather, but use as much water as you can. Also, do not use hot water because it can set certain ingredients of the glue and make the stain worse.

An onion is easy to peel to 1 layer of cells, and with a light microscope you cant see the individual cells in a leaf. Also the cell obtained from the bulb of onion is colorless, hence it can be easly stained with different dyes to study the cell organells under the microscope.
use soap and hot water then stain remover
So that you can observe different characteristics of the cell clearer such as the nucleus, vacuoles or other membrane bound organelles.
You should never paint a deck, the paint will peel (unless you live in a very arid climate I guess. The deck may be stained, you can put either oil or latex stain over old oil stain.
