Greetings,
I have looked at multiple products. I have not stained a floor before, but I am a drummer and I have stained and polyurethaned many drums over the years (Drum restoration is a hobby of mine). Drums are made of wood, so at least have a general knowledge of how to apply, finish up etc.
I am looking for a stain that can be brush applied, but does not have to be wiped off after application. I am going for a dark color, so wiping it to achieve a lighter look is not something I am concerned with. Also I have looked at the "stain and polyurethane in one" type finishes, but if I apply one coat and want to do a second coat to make it darker, I don't necessarily want to apply more stain over a finish that has already been polyurethaned. I assume those "stain and poly in one" finishes are for single coat use.
Any suggestions. I feel confident with my drum restoration experience that I will do a nice, professional looking job, but I just want the stain to be easy to use, no wiping etc. Plus I want to do all the polyurethaning myself, after I achieve the look/color I am going for. The area I'm doing is fairly small, the room is 11' x 9' (99 sq. ft).
Thanks,
V
