Stains and dyes maintain the natural textures of the wood but add color to it. This may be as simple as tinting the whole surface with a single stain or creating gradients of any type, or even going for one of the so popular bursts. Stains and dyes can be water-based or any type. Most of these can be applied with a clean rag or a lintless paper towel as they will be absorbed into the wood and will not affect the feel.

We find its better to start painting in the middle and work outwards to avoid putting brush marks in paint that is starting to dry. On a window frame, that means starting on the wood thats closest to the glass. The only downside with paint strippers is that you have to apply and wait for the stripper to work. They also create more mess. On stubborn paint, you often have to repeat the process, which makes it more time-consuming. A sealer essentially closes up the pores of the timber and catches loose fibres, ensuring your top coat is top notch.
