Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

Q: When should you not use a wood filler?

• <div><p>If the scratch is large enough that it compromises the integrity of the wood, a wood filler probably won&rsquo;t be enough to fix the problem. In that case, you might need to sand and refinish the entire floor or replace a board. If you do use a filler, use one that&rsquo;s appropriate for the scratch. Water-based wood fillers work for small gaps or gouges, while epoxy has added strength to fill larger scratches and gaps.</p></div>

Q: How do you refinish a table top without stripping it?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You&rsquo;ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain. </p></div>

Q: Can I use expanding foam to fill rotten wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you&rsquo;re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.</p></div>

Q: Can you permanently seal butcher block countertops?

• <div><p>You can certainly seal butcher block countertops, but not permanently. Due to the nature of the materials, it will require resurfacing down the line. This is true no matter what you use to seal the countertop, including polyurethane and mineral oil. Polyurethane will last until the countertop is damaged in some way, and mineral oil should be reapplied every two to three months. To maximize the longevity of the polyurethane sealer, apply two coats. </p></div>

Red oak floors looked like they were never refinished in their 25 years of use. Water and pet stains were a challenge to sand, but the team worked their magic to improve the appearance 100%.

Beautiful refinishing job. Got color just right, not too glossy so grain of wods shows itself off nicely. I appreciate Andrews' attention to detail, such as not only polishing aged brass feet on pedestal base but also adding teflon sliders to raise them up slightly so metal won't scratch floor.
