    Stripping and Staining Old Wood Furniture

    To refinish small items such as side tables or chairs, start by spraying or painting on stripper to remove old paint or varnish. Leave it for up to 10 minutes until the old finish starts lifting away from the wood, and help it on its way with a scraper tool. When the surface is clear, wipe it with a cloth soaked in mineral spirits, and let the wood dry before sanding it with a palm sander. Use medium-grit sandpaper to reach bare wood. Next, fine-sand to create a beautiful, smooth finish. Remove all sanding dust with a tack cloth, and apply your chosen stain.

    After the first stain application, wipe away any excess with a clean cloth, working in the direction of the grain. Let the stain dry, and apply a second coat, wiping away any excess. Continue this process until you reach the desired color. When the final coat is dry, protect the wood by spraying it with two clear coats of an oil-based finish, smoothing it with 200-grit sandpaper in between coats. Make sure you wear a protective mask during spraying, and keep the room well ventilated.
