I am refinishing pine stair treads that were previously painted. I stripped the paint, will sand and want to stain the treads a cherry color to match my hardwood floors. As I used a paint remover called Oops to remove the paint, is there anything else I should use prior to staining the sanded wood to insure even stain coverage?
What is the best (durable) clear finish to use after staining?
I plan to use rubber treads to cover the center of the finished treads.
Thanks for your help! Vic
