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.
Apply the water-based stain in the same way as oil-based. - If the stain needs to be darker, go back over and apply more stain. - Stain only provides color, not a finish. Always apply a finish on top of stained wood. Or, if time is short, reach for a product that combines both stain and finish with one coat.The product will need to be brushed on more carefully, finishing by brushing with the grain of the wood.
