How to Stain a Table with BEHR^® Advanced Formula Oil-Based Wood Stain

Got a table that needs a fresh start? We can help. BEHR^® Advanced Formula Oil-Based Wood Stain does the trick for a variety of wood surfaces, so we’ll use this product to bring out the table’s inner beauty.

For Best Results:

Start your interior stain project by cleaning the surface and lightly sanding the wood.

Apply BEHR^® Oil-Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to prevent streaks and blotches.

Step 1

Using a sanding block and 220 grit sandpaper, give the wood a gentle sand, then wipe away the remaining dust with a lint-free cloth.
Step 2

Apply the BEHR^® Oil-Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner and let it penetrate the wood for 20 minutes.
Step 3

Apply the BEHR^® Advanced Formula Oil-Based Wood Stain.
Step 4

Allow the stain to penetrate for 3-5 minutes, then wipe with a lint-free cloth. Repeat steps to achieve a deeper color. Let the stain dry for at least 12 hours.
Step 5

Apply two thin coats of BEHR^® Fast Drying Oil-Based Polyurethane to protect your table for years to come. Lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper between coats.
