1. Choose a finish that will meet your expectations for the product you are
finishing. Are you matching existing furniture or do you want a “natural”
finish? Is the piece to be functional, decorative or both? The answers
to these questions may affect the type of finish you choose.
2. Use products of the same brand to ensure compatibility of products.
3. ALWAYS follow the stain manufacturer’s instructions. Alder is a porous
wood and looks best when following the finishing instructions for
softwoods.
4. We recommend using a wood conditioner under oil base stains.
5. Work in a well ventilated and well lit area.
1. Assembly Instructions may contain special finishing information
for that item. Read both the Assembly Instructions and these Finishing
Hints completely before beginning.
2. Sand the entire piece, using #220 grit sandpaper. Sand with the grain
of the wood on flat surfaces and opposite the grain on turnings. Some
parts are plywood. Be careful not to sand through the veneer. End grain
(table top ends, seat edges, grooves on turnings, etc.) accepts more
stain. Extra sanding in these areas with a #320 grit sandpaper will reduce
stain absorption, creating a more evenly stained piece.
3. When sanding is completed, wipe the surface of your furniture with a cloth or tack rag. Make sure
the item is free of dust before proceeding.
4. For most products, we recommend preparing and staining the wood prior to assembly. Due to the
assembly procedures for chairs, rockers and stools, we recommend assembling these items prior
to finishing.
5. If you do choose to finish chairs, rockers or stools prior to assembly, it is imperative that you protect
the ends of dowels and spindles, and the mortise holes where the wood is joined, from finishing
products. Use masking tape around the ends, being careful to cover only the section that will be
inserted (remove the tape after the finish has dried and before the furniture is assembled). Wood
glue will not bond if finishing products are present. If you do get finishing product in these areas,
it must be removed to ensure proper bonding.
6. If glue is used in assembly of your furniture, remove any excess glue spots or drips before finish-
ing. Wood surfaces with glue WILL NOT accept stains, and will leave a light spot. To remove glue,
wipe off as much as possible while wet, then lightly sand the surface until the remaining glue is
removed.
These are general hints. Refer to the instruction sheet for detailed information
on gluing your specific product. Your unit may not need glue.
1. We strongly recommend that you first lay out all the parts and familiarize yourself with how they fit
together before assembling with glue. Glue will set up quickly and can cause damage to the parts
if you try to reposition any that have been assembled incorrectly.
2. Glue usually takes several hours to cure (or harden) but it will sometimes set up, or grab, in several
seconds. Therefore, once you begin final assembly, be sure to proceed quickly and diligently.

Gluing Hints (cont.)
3. We recommend that you use a good wood glue, such as Elmer’s Wood Glue or White Glue, Tite-
bond Wood Glue or the equivalent; unless the instructions call for a special type such as a slow
drying epoxy glue. Carefully read the glue manufacturer’s label and follow all instructions.
4. Be sure the holes are clear of any dust so the glue will have a clean surface to adhere to. Blowing
in the holes before gluing is recommended, but be sure to protect your eyes.
5. Avoid getting glue on surfaces to be finished! Most stains or finishes will not penetrate where
glue has been spilled. Wet glue can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Follow with a light sanding of
the area to ensure a proper finish.
6. Do not over glue! It is important to apply an even coat inside all holes and slots. Use a small dowel
or pencil to spread glue evenly around the inside of the holes. Because of the fit of the spindles or
dowels in the holes, the spindle or dowel pushes glue to the bottom of the hole. If too much glue is
used, it will fill the hole and not allow the spindle or dowel to go all the way in.
.
1. Read and follow label directions. Stir stain well before starting.
2. Test stain on an inconspicuous spot on your project, or use the sample chip if one is provided. The
sample chip must be sanded in the same way as your furniture kit to ensure the piece will accept
the stain similarly. Put at least one coat of your top coat over the stain sample, as it also affects the
look of the stain. Test every type of wood that is in your kit. Some of our products include more
than one type of wood, which may react differently to the stain color. Sample chips for the differ-
ent woods may be included. It may be necessary to add a second coat of stain to lighter woods to
match the darker woods in your kit.
3. Apply stain with a poly brush or lint-free cloth. Apply stain over a small area and wipe off excess.
Working in small areas will make the color easier to control.
4. Q-tips are ideal for hard to reach areas.
5. Allow to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
.
No top coat is required if using paint.
1. Always read and follow all label directions. Stir your finish coat gently, do not shake. It will cre-
ate bubbles that are hard to remove.
2.All surfaces (including the underside of table tops and inside drawers) must be sealed with at
least one layer of a top coat. This will help minimize wood swelling, shrinkage, warping and cup-
ping due to changes in moisture content or temperature.
3. We recommend that you apply a minimum of two coats when using polyurethane or varnish
(especially on all table top and work surfaces). Sand lightly between coats using a #320 grit
sandpaper or 00 steel wool for the smoothest possible finish.
4. Some water-based finishes tend to raise the grain slightly. This can be easily controlled with this
sanding step. However, do not use steel wool when using water-based finishes. Strands of steel
fiber caught in the wood can cause rust spots when coated with any water-based product.
1. For best results when painting, first coat the wood with a primer. An oil based primer would be best
for a smooth finish. If you do not wish to use a solvent based primer, a water based primer would
work almost as well.
2. Buy a quality brand paint. You may use a satin, semi-gloss, or gloss sheen. Apply a second coat
for a smooth finish. Lightly sand between coats using a #320 grit sandpaper, so that the second
coat will bond well. Repeat as desired.
3. Since there is such a variation between paint manufacturers, refer to your paint supplier for specific
advice on using the paint that you purchase.
