Q: Does stain get darker after it dries?

• <div><p>The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they&rsquo;re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove old stains before restaining a deck?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s best to remove the previous coat of stain from your deck before restaining it, especially if the surface is in bad condition. Restaining on top of an old coat can lead to an uneven surface, as the new stain won&rsquo;t fully soak into the deck material. That said, if your deck is in excellent condition, you may be able to get away with just cleaning the surface instead of sanding it and removing the old stain. If you choose not to remove the previous coat, it&rsquo;s best to use the same type of stain for the new layer. </p></div>

Q: Is satin or matte better for woodwork?

• <div><p>Satin is considered one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-trims.htm">best types of paint for baseboards and trim</a>, along with doors and cabinets. Its soft sheen can help enhance architectural details while standing up to frequent cleaning and everyday wear. Matte finishes are prone to scuffs and harder to clean, making them less practical for high-touch surfaces such as doors. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand my porch before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it&rsquo;s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint. </p></div>

Q: Is wood stain flammable after it dries?

• <div><p>Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.</p></div>
