Stains are available in many wood shades, but also in many bright colours. They produce a nice, clear colour image. The grain of the wood remains visible during pickling. The tint is indeed fading, but does not protect the surface, so a sealing with a lacquer or wax is advisable. The final colour results from the stain colour, the colour of the wood and its constituents as well as the sealing surface.
Chemical pickling emphasise the grain while staining with pigments or dyes easily obscure the grain. Before dyeing is a complete work, a test stain should be performed. It is important that you take a piece of wood of the same strain. If you are not satisfied with the result, the colour can be changed by mixing or lightening.

One should first test stain necessarily before the complete work piece is coloured. Not like the stain colour, it can be changed by mixing. The example shows “medium oak” Black with increasing proportions.

Preparatory work
The prerequisite for a successful treatment is the uniform capacity of the timber. It is therefore essential to prepare the surface carefully. For best results obtained on polished wood, which are watered before the final grinding. This cleans the pores and small bumps levelled as straighten depressed fibres swell and bruises. It is best to use warm water. Once the watered surface is dried, it can be smoothed with 180 grit sandpaper. It is advisable to use only sharp paper. When it has fully set with dust, it does not rub against the fibres, but suppressed it only down. Once they come into contact with the pickling liquid, the fibres line up and the surface is rough and uneven. After sanding the wood must be thoroughly dusted, so that the fine wood dust does not cause colour changes in the stain.
If you are unsure about tackling this technique then you may need to some outside help
Pickle
Distribute evenly warm water on the wood surface, thus straighten the fibres.
Pickle Once the wood has dried watered, you can edit it with 180 grit sandpaper.
Stain is deleted normally, but can also be sprayed or applied with a fabric roll. In selecting the work equipment you need to make sure that it contains no iron, because this react with the pickling liquid and colour changes would cause. Most suitable plastic brushes and jars, glass or plastic. Stain changed their tone already, when it comes into contact with small particles that stick to the brush. If only a small amount is required, you should find it on the reservoir and pour into a small glass. If two or more containers, just use their contents poured into a large container. Before the order, and during the operation the liquid must be stirred thoroughly. The stain is applied evenly fed in the direction of the wood grain. Work transverse to the fibre direction, and finally again along. Pickling splashes on the raw wood surface should be avoided, because they remain visible. Vertical surfaces are therefore always stained from bottom to top. After an exposure time of several minutes, distributes the excess stain: a dry brush takes care of the excess in fibre direction.
Pickle
Apply the stain with a metal-free brush in regular lanes to fill: first with the grain, then across it. Chase away the excess after a few minutes, then with a dry brush.

To avoid stains splashes, one begins with the pickling of whole pieces of furniture always at the bottom.
Surface treatment
A treatment with stain is simply a colouring of the wood. Will not protect the fibres from moisture or mould. The surface should be absolutely protected after pickling. For this purpose, clear lacquer, wax or wood oil are. Make sure that the wood is completely dry before sealing. It should not be ground, so that only 0.5 millimetres thick mordant layer is not destroyed. You seal it in two operations. Which product is suitable to decide the application. The surface is not claimed, as is the case for example in a picture frame, it is sufficient to treat it with an oil. Wax, but especially clear coat, are durable. For a stained floor is best suited, for example, a paint. A wax layer could not safely prevent cleaning water dissolves the stain. Pickling product and paint must be tolerated. Water-based paint cannot be combined with water-soluble stains, as it dissolves the dyes. The result is unsightly streaks. Is this case occurred, the entire colour application must be removed. You can grind it or bleach with hydrogen peroxide. However, this method is not safe and also not applicable everywhere. Pigment stains and chemical stains cannot be removed in this way.
Pickle
Pickling stain the wood surface only, they provide no protection from moisture or mould. As soon as the stain has dried, the surface is sealed.
