Staining
When staining wood, how many coats are normal? Do some stain and nothing
more or do some lacquer over it? I understand it will probably depend on several variables such as stain color, stain type, sanding prep (final grit) and wood but is there a general rule for staining? I'm encountering an slight concern after staining cedar with two coats though I'm uncertain if it's normal. When viewing the wood directly, it looks fine. When I lay it down and view it with light reflection, I can see some shiny spots and dull spots, which I simply think it's just the way the stain absorbed into the wood based on it's texture/grain. I'm trying to determine if I should add another coat or lacquer over it and be done. What say the experts? Thank you |
