A successful DIY project starts with proper preparation. Start your new stain project by cleaning the surface, which must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, grease, and glue. Continue by lightly sanding the wood and removing all sanding dust – this will help the stain product adhere – and follow up with BEHR® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to help prevent streaks and blotches.
