• Step 1

    Using a sanding block and 220 grit sandpaper, give the wood a gentle sand, then wipe away the remaining dust with a lint-free cloth.

  • Step 2

    Apply the BEHR® Oil-Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner and let it penetrate the wood for 20 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Allow the stain to penetrate for 3-5 minutes, then wipe with a lint-free cloth. Repeat steps to achieve a deeper colour. Let the stain dry for at least 12 hours.

  • Step 5

    Apply two thin coats of BEHR® Fast Drying Oil-Based Polyurethane to protect your table for years to come. Lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper between coats.
