A cabinet wiping stain is a type of wood stain that the user applies by hand and then wipes off depending on the desired look. This technique provides more control over the appearance and color while highlighting the wood's natural grain. These materials also provide a custom finish on woods that may absorb stains unevenly.
Conestoga Wood Specialties offers a wide assortment of wiping stain products for various wood species — everything from Alder and Red Oak to Bamboo and Soft Maple. Choose from a range of exciting colors like Autumn, Chestnut, Driftwood, Portabella and Saddle. Numerous glaze options are also available to create additional effects on the stained wood.
A primary advantage of working with a wiping stain is the custom appearance. While these products don’t require highly specialized machinery to apply finishes, our team has artistic techniques.
If you are finishing your purchase, use the appropriate protective gear to apply the wiping stain. Wear gloves to prevent your hands from staining and safety glasses or goggles to keep the stain from splashing in your eyes. A mask or respirator prevents inhaling potentially harmful fumes.
Follow these steps to apply a wiping stain:
Our experienced technicians work in small sections and apply consistent pressure to ensure an even application. Always ensure the drying area is adequately ventilated, and avoid overlapping to prevent double staining.
