How do I stain or varnish this Ikea table? - wax ikea desk
I bought a desk from Ikea, there seems nothing to have their jaws just a white timber. I want it darker, I heard that you can do this with a good finish. It works well, and if he does protect against stains normal wood dining table?
"Where do I apply paint or something, so it is easy to clean?" I'm afraid if I get something on the table to give the forest, I was in a position easy to clean. She said that can be oiled, waxed, stained or painted. What would be the best?
What do I know much of it, but I know nothing of the woods and do not want things so that you can help me.

Wax Ikea Desk How Do I Stain Or Varnish This Ikea Table?

What I do is first grinding the table. Do not buy the fine (secondary) sandpaper and lightly sand the entire table. You did not use too much pressure - you want to rough the surface a little lonely in the case of IKEA, in fact, a clear coat on the wood.
After sanding the entire surface of the table easily, take a rag and dust (the surface of the sand to the paint or stain, and thickness of the soil will prevent).
For paint, you will need the following steps: a flat brush made of foam, fabric, an old white T-shirt cut into small pieces of canvas, brush, brush hair gel polyurethane varnish and polyurethane.
The first step would be to your local Home Depot, Menards go - etc and the color of the wood they offer to check. They have some examples to help you find the color you want. I suggest buying a gel-based paint and varnish the legs of the table as well - and the regular paint is a liquid form before and is very sticky and nose. In addition, the gel coating is veryassigned to a user:).
When your polyurethane varnish will be selected to select. Polyurethane is what separates after the paint has dried and it protects the paint and the table. You need to decide whether you want to be your table, bright) (glossy) or matt (satin. Then select the appropriate polyurethane (talk to an employee - led in the right direction). Even a paint stick to mix the glaze.
Now you are ready to polish your table! Instead of the cloth or very strong - so does not stain the floor - or in the garage or outside painted, if the paint stains did not matter. Enter your paint closely - there is a slight separation packages and the first time when the field (it may take up to 5 minutes).
Once the glaze is well mixed, take your foam brush and dip it in glaze. Start by painting the surface of the table (a flat surface) is much easier to start. Set the glaze thick (and WIPIng the excess tissue with one of these T-shirt). The varnish is dark - but not alarmed. Painting over half the surface of the table and then apply the T-shirt dry cloth and gently rub in the excess of purchase flows in one direction. Friction and rubbing firmly back and forth, also removes much of the stain and appears uneven.
Repeat these steps two at the whole picture - the picture a little, then wipe off with a rag. Give the table a paint layer. Use the brush when you seem no cracks or joints in the veneer table that have to solve internally. This brush will replace tissue in hard to reach places:).
Allows the board to cure (dry) for 24 hours. If after 24 hours, the stain is the color that you want, then start polyurethane on the table. More dark - repeat the process of coloring, again by a new layer of varnish, polyurethane before.
Make sure a polyurethane polyurethane brush - this will ensure an even layer of Nice. I would say 2-3 coats of poly shapeuse it as a table and do not want any water spots. Polyurethane is applied like paint - not to be cleaned. Leave the poly to dry 24 hours between coats.
Good luck! I know it seems to be a lengthy process - but since the finished product is very rewarding. Just get to go to good music and have fun at work.
If, as you say that is pine a softwood. I suggest that a clear varnish and apply a few layers, go with the grain of the wood. Then rub gently over a note with fine sand paper again with the grain (it will not) from the spot. Then apply a thick layer of varnish. Make sure you get to well-ventilated through the layers of the surface and not in one. An online shop from high-quality material will help you a good paints, brushes, sandpaper and mask to prevent you from inhaling smoke.
Good luck!
