Using proper stain question
I'm ready to stain my first project. I understand that it is good to
clean it with a solvent such as mineral spirits to remove dirt and oils. (please correct me if I'm wrong or if there is a better solvent to use). I want to do this right and I've studied all the finishes and yet I still am not sure of the best one to use. The project is a tray for SWMBO. She intends to use it to throw keys, change, etc. in it. I would like a satin finish but it really doesn't matter. I have a polyurethane clear finish spray that I was going to apply over the stain. Is this a decent type of finish or is there a better one to use? FWIW, I went to a staining class but I learned too much. I understand the application process pretty well but deciding on the best stain I still find confusing. Richard A. |
