Prepping and staining a wood hand rail with Renner 2K poly. #realwood #haandrail #custom #woodworker

What happens here

Immediately after applying the stain, or within the recommended open time of the product, use a clean rag to wipe off any excess stain from the handrail. This step is crucial for achieving a uniform color and preventing a muddy or overly dark appearance. Continue wiping until no more stain transfers to the rag and the desired color depth is achieved.

Goal: Ensure uniform stain color and remove excess product.
