What happens here

Apply wood stain (Minwax Wood Finish, Red Oak) to the countertops using a sponge or cloth. Ensure even coverage and allow the stain to penetrate for 5-7 minutes. After the recommended penetration time, thoroughly wipe off any excess stain with a clean cloth. This prevents a blotchy or uneven finish. Repeat the process for all surfaces, including the backsplashes.

Goal: Apply wood stain to achieve the desired color and bring out the wood grain

Tools and materials

  • Rubber Gloves — Protecting hands from stain
  • Sponge/Cloth — Applying and wiping off wood stain

[Music] So, we're finally getting to the point where we think we're making some traction. We get the countertop in. It's perfectly level. We get all of the seams to flesh out. We get the sink cut out, mounted in place. We get our mistake there corrected and fixed. And we're putting down the first coat of stain. Everything goes good. We put the second coat of stain down. Bam. Looks good. But that's when things start to go south for us again for the third or fourth or fifth time. I don't know how many times. Anyway, let's see how this goes. [Music] So after you put the stain on, you then got to wipe it off. I'm not making this up. It's the truth. So, you put it on, you wait 5 to 7 minutes, and then you wipe it off. I wonder what would happen if you didn't wipe it off. It would stay them wherever it's heavy was dry on there, and they recommend it not to dry because it just turns it. It's nasty looking. It just doesn't look
