As the summer months go on, you’ll begin to notice that your deck is losing its bright shine that once attracted you to buy your first house. It’s gross and unappealing. Your wife won’t stop complaining until it’s fixed and you don’t have money in the bank to hire someone to do the job for you. Its time to learn how to stain custom made furniture and it’s easier than it looks. Martha Stewart is the queen of guides, and the following list explains easy steps on how to get that deck looking like it’s brand new.

Look over the amount of custom made furniture that you are going to fix and schedule an appropriate amount of time to do the job. The last thing you want is to end up with a half finished job. This will look worse than it did in the beginning. To get a timeless crafted look the job must be 100% complete after you finish it. Go out and buy hardwood that is going to last 10 years or more. Wood has the tendency to rot if it’s not quality made. Avoid any pieces that have holes, scratches, or knots on them.

The tools and materials you will need for the custom made furniture stain are straightforward. Buy unfinished wood, sandpaper, the desired stain, and cloths. You should obviously have a vacuum already if you’re a clean person. A dish will be used to put all of the paint and a foam brush is necessary. It’s optional to buy a protective finish, a stirrer, and a natural bristle brush. Once you have all the materials bought, lay them out in front of you and get started. A lazy person never accomplishes anything!

Start by getting the custom made furniture ready. With slight pressure, sand off the wood to remove any and all scratches and bumps. A large pile of dust will end up on your floor if you don’t vacuum periodically. Gently hold the stain tubes in your hand and knead them until all the colours have mixed together. Stain tends to settle at the bottom of the bottle otherwise. You need to make sure to wipe off the wood before you start painting. The last thing you want is to have particles of dust embedded within the paint. A soft towel will work the best but make sure it is not too fluffy. Decorative paper clothes are not a desirable substitute.

Start painting! Move the brush in the direction of the grain on your custom made furniture. To make the colour darker, go over the layer 3 times or more. For a lighter version, only one time is required. The longer you leave the coating of paint on, the darker the colour will become. If the object is something that comes into a lot of contact with people, make sure to use the finishing stain. To make it look smooth you must use a high quality product. Dry for at least 24 hours and than step back and admire your finished product. Congratulate yourself on your hard work and the ability to impress your once angry wife!
