How Do You Refinish & Stain Cabinets?
Cabinets can be purchased finished or unfinished. Unfinished cabinets are generally cheaper than finished cabinets. Another useful thing about unfinished cabinets is that you can also select the perfect color to match your room. Sometimes cabinets are already finished and you wish to change the color. If this is the case, it is a simple process much like staining an unfinished cabinet with just a few extra steps. Remove the handles and hinges from the cabinets with the screwdriver. Set them off to the side. New cabinets that are unfinished are already in the condition needed to begin the staining process. Stain all of the doors and set them off to the side. Stain the inside of the cabinets and any shelves that have come along with them. Set the shelves off to the side. Make sure when you are staining that you stay with the grain of the wood. The use of a foam brush will also eliminate streaking. Make sure you stain the doors on a flat surface. This may not be an option for the cabinets
