But if you want to colour them (and if they are clean and sanded, not oiled, stained or varnished) use a wood dye, not a stain. colron or similar. on floorboards you can apply it sparingly with a soft 2" paintbrush instead of a fad, it will be quicker. use a few slightly different colours for different boards.. We can also custom dye your floorboards to your tastes - a fresh coat of seal can help return elegance and charm. different types of finishes can be applied, ranging from traditional solvent based seals, to acrylic and oiled finishes.. I am due to start sanding floorbards in my new house and need advice on the best method of staining these. i did a similar project in my last property c 7 yrs ago and at the time following advice given i firstly applied 2-3 applications of floor dye and finished by applying hard wearing clear varnish..
It’s decision time. stain our floorboards dark or paint them white? the sanding equipment is booked in, so this weekend we will be taking our battered, paint covered (but lovely) original floorboards in our victorian flat and sanding them back to reveal them in all their glory.. The most common seems to be dye that transfers from streamers, confetti, and hair dye. no matter what the cause of the dye, the removal process remains the same. always use caution and observe the finish on your wood piece regularly to ensure it is not being scrubbed away along with the dye.. The floors in the top image were recently stained then varnished with 3 coats of bonakemi water based varnish, by peter. he has been staining floors for over 25 years since 1988 and is now an expert in this field..
