Professionals usually have the right tools, proper range of grits of sandpaper and they know how to apply them evenly and consistently. This certainly can be done by a DIYer but you should research how to prepare softwoods for staining.water based stains are harder to use because they dry so fast. They require misting or wiping with a damp rag (with water, not solvents) before application to slow down the drying. That way, you can keep a wet edge and avoid lap marks.We also offer non-toxic oil based stains and sealers made by Rubio Monocoat that are easier to use but still require careful preparation.
