Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.</p></div>

Can You Limewash Surfaces Other Than Brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain is too much?

• <div><p>Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don&rsquo;t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.</p></div>

Q: How long does stain take to dry?

• <div><p>While most stains will be dry to the touch within 12 hours, it can take up to 48 hours to fully cure. That means that while your stain might not be sticky within 12 hours, it&rsquo;s still not recommended to get it wet or touch it until it&rsquo;s had a chance to set for at least 24 to 48 hours.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>
