Answer 10

Stain, Paint, and Finish are the three primary classifications for common wood treatments. Stains contain pigments and are used to tint the wood. Paints contain colored pigments and sit on the wood to form a protective coating. Some finishes are simply paint with out the pigment that lay down a clear protective coating. There are five common types of finishes on the market. They are:

Oil

Varnish and Polyurethane

Shellac

Lacquer

Water-based Finishes

Something in a stain that soaks into the wood works the best. Linseed oil is by far a very good product but it isn't cheap, just good.

Stains that work as paint and just coat the wood wear off and then you have problems.

If you use linseed oil buy it by the gallon. This oil is made from the seeds of the flax plant. Look for “Boiled” linseed oil. This product has an added metallic drying agent that helps the finish dry in a day. Linseed oil without this additive can take over a week to dry.

The primary advantage of using these finishes is their ease of application. Simply wipe it onto the surface with a clean cotton rag, wait 10 minutes, and applying more oil and allow time to cure. Always sand lightly between coats. Linseed Oil generally requires three coats to achieve the “hand rubbed” look

The first coat I would cut it by adding about 20% thinner to soak it in better.
