Hello,
Done some woodworking here, but pretty new to staining. Got a question for you folks with some experience. I am building a set of shelves using 3/4" thickness oak, and I need to stain all the exposed surfaces with dark walnut. For a given shelf, how do I stain the top, bottom AND front edge?
I assume you have to stain one surface at a time and let it dry before moving on, otherwise it will drip. But even in that case, how do I prevent accidental dripping down the surfaces I am not working on? (The front edge will be the greatest concern since that's the most visible.) Also, is it advantageous to paint the surfaces in a particular order? Some shelves are above eye level, some below.
Thanks in advance.
