Staining softwood hand rail

Jun 10, 2014 1 Replies

I want to stain a sanded "mop stick" softwood handrail a dark teak colour and finish with wax.



Any recommendations for products to use plse?



It seems some stains - Rustins for e.g. are incompatible with wax finishes... unless a sealer is used in between coats.. - is that universal?



TIA

Furniture waxes are normally based on white spirit. If the stain is too, they're going to act as a solvent to each other. A water based stain might be better with wax
