Applying two coats of stain to your hardwood floors will result in darker tones; however, this may be necessary to obtain the stain tones you wish for.
Do not skimp. Allow the stain to set long enough to get the desired results, and then wipe all the excess stain off with clean rags. Start wiping the stain off on the same end where you first applied the stain.That way the stain is on the molding the same amount of time.ipe the dust from the molding strips with a tack cloth. Vacuum the room. If possible, damp-mop the room to remove any dust that remains. You want as little dust exposure to the wood trim as possible when you stain it.
