Why is my wood blotchy after staining?

• <div>Wood can appear blotchy after staining due to uneven absorption, which happens when the wood has varying grain density. The denser the grain, the less the stain will be absorbed. This can cause the wood to appear uneven in color, with some areas darker than others. To prevent this issue, apply a wood conditioner before staining. Wood conditioners help to equalize the absorption of the stain, resulting in a more even finish. There are many different types of wood conditioners available, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of wood you are staining.</div>

How much does it cost to refinish wood furniture?

• <div>The cost to refinish wood furniture ranges widely, depending on the size and type of furniture. Here’s what you can expect to pay to refinish the following wood furniture items:<ul><li>Table: $150–$700</li><li>Dining chair: $100–$400</li><li>Rocking chair: $200–$500</li><li>Bar stool: $100–$250</li><li>China cabinet or armoire: $500–$3,500</li><li>Dining set: $1,000–$3,000</li><li>Coffee table: $150–$800</li><li>Dresser: $300–$2,000</li><li>Bed: $350–$2,000</li><li>Pool table: $300–$600</li><li><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-refinish-cabinets.htm">Kitchen cabinets</a>: $1,800–$5,000</li></ul></div>

Q: Can I refinish over top of refinishing oil?

• <div>No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that&rsquo;s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it&rsquo;s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.</div>

Q: What should I do if I spill wood refinishing oil?

• <div>If you spill wood refinishing oil, wipe up the liquid quickly without spreading the stain and then use soap and water or a stain remover to get rid of the spot. Since the product is oil based, using a detergent like dish soap or a thinner like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-thinner-vs-mineral-spirits.htm">mineral spirits</a> will help take out the stain. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to remove the stain.</div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a table?

• <div>It takes the average person four to eight days to refinish a table. This sounds long, but the work time is only two to 10 hours. If you have prior experience, each step, including dipping, stripping, sanding, staining, painting, and sealing, can take just 30 minutes to complete. The wait time between each step results in a longer total time. </div>
