Does this stain work on oak cabinets

Yes, as long as you sand off any varnish that might be on it first. I put two thin coats on pine and it looks great and I can still see the grain through it.

Yes, but it takes a great deal of expertise to get a good match. Many finishes on production furniture are sprayed on with a colored pigment as opposed to stained and then sprayed with or coated with a clear finish. Cherry also darkens with age naturally, so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you how the existing cabinets were finished, it might make it easier to get a decent match.

This is a high pigmented furniture polish that will absorb in any porous surface, so if you put it on a table that is well warn it will leave a lot of the dark color, much like a stain. I put it on a dark stained wooden front door that weathers during the year. This polish will soak into the surface and make the door look much more presentable. It won't replace a stain but works well to revitalize a dark wood surface that shows some wear.

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

Yes. However if wood glue is used U must be carefull not to sand it too much, since the glue penetrates to some degree, and stain can become less uniform..

I used these on oak cabinets that were probably installed in the 80s. We were in a vacation rental that we were leasing for ski season and I just got to grossed out by how greasy the cabinets were. I used it, definitely cleaned it, but I think this was more due to lack of maintenance, the stain on the cabinets came off with the grease. It definitely felt drier and abrasive to the touch but at the same time, it looked a lot cleaner. The landlady never complained to us about it.

the wood 'strips' are oriented the long way so most of the grain pattern runs that way. However, some of the strips especially the shorter ones have different grain orientations. Overall, I think this enhances the look.Yes, you can stain the top. We used a 'darkening stain' to give the maple a yellowish hue which matches are existing maple cabinets in our kitchen.

I've only used on wood and so far it has done a great job. You could test a small spot to see if it leaves a stain on it.

I also have white washed furniture and oak cabinets. I have used the oil on them and there has not been a change in the color.It just makes it glow like you want. It is terrific and brought my dried out wood back to life.

I would guess that it would but my cabinets are wood. The stuff works really well and I love how the grain shows through as well. I love it thinking about trying it on spare wood chairs.

I have not used on white cabinets, only stained or antique finishes. For my painted white bathroom cabinets I just use a mild soap and water, and never thought about using this product there. I would try it maybe on a place where it won't show if it does not work out.

I used it on 1/4 thick birch plywood. It provides a nice white (the longer you let it set or the more coats you give it, the whiter and brighter). I have not used it for furniture but for wood burnings I've done where I want to emphasize the waves or lightning. I like the job it does as it lets the wood grain show through. It is not as transparent as non-water based stains, but it does work well.

I applied this to older oak cabinets which had uneven levels of polyurethane remaining. I did a good cleaning with an all purpose spray cleaner and then a light sand with a sanding block. We have finished 3 bathroom cabinets at this point and the finish is great on all of them using this same process.

Its a clear liquid, i have sprayed it on wood (white painted wood) and it has had no staining. I would spot test tho just in case to see if it works for you

We have custom oak kitchen cabinets too. Our island blends nicely with our oak decore. However, depending upon both the variety of oak (white,red,etc.) and the vintage of your cabinets, the Home style product might be slightly darker than your cabinets. If you want a perfect match, this product may or may not do it. We are pleased with how it blends with our 40 year old cabinets. And it is a sturdy unit that fits our space nicely.

i have only used this product with great success on varnished furniture and cabinets. Works suggest you try on a piece of painted wood first. Lightly sand, and then rub with denatured alcohol, then try the stain. No guarantees but it sure would beat removing paint.

I don't know about the staining part but it does condition and it cleans wood, I use it on my wooden coffee tables...
