1. Sanding and Staining
The first step you have to do is setting up an area where you will sand and stain which is fairly consistent with weather wise. Lay plastic on your kitchen and make it simple, so you do not need to move a lot during the process.
2. Removing Necessary Parts
In order to make you stain and treat all faces of the cabinets, it is a must that you remove all drawers and cabinet doors first.
It will allow you to stain and treat the back of your cabinet doors as well. Remove the parts that really need to be removed, so you can work effectively.
3. Giving Light Sanding
Before you start applying the conditioner, make sure that you give light sanding to all surfaces of your drawers and cabinet doors. It will make the conditioner work maximally.
4. Applying the Conditioner
Use foam brush to apply light conditioner. It will draw out the grain of the wood and ensure more coat of stain to the whole surfaces of your cabinets. So you will not find it blotchy.
5. Let the Conditioner Works
After applying the conditioner, leave it for 15 about minutes to let it works until dry. One thing you should note is that the previous smooth wood is now fairly rough. Sand all surfaces to make it smooth then wipe it using cloth to remove any dust.
6. Applying the Coat
Apply the same amount of coat to remove any stain across all surfaces. Make sure that you do not leave any drips on it since it will cause some minor problems for you. Wait for view minutes before you move to the next step.
7. Wait for the Stain
In this step you need to wait until the stain are removed. You have to be able to see the grain well and now the wood may not look stained anymore to you. If you think that the surfaces are not stained anymore, you can stop right there. If you want darker look, wait for any longer.
8. Clean All the Surfaces
Finally for the last step, add at least 2 coats of urethane to protect and seal the cabinet. Make sure you add the coat balanced to make your cabinets look great.
