Staining Hardwood Floors. Staining hardwood floors is not as simple as just applying it. Some hardwood species receive stains differently, while some with closed grain patterns, with Maple as an example, can be extremely troublesome to achieve desired results.
If you've replaced a warped or damaged board, the new wood will not be the same shade as the rest of your deck. If you wish to stain immediately, use an opaque or semi-transparent stain to create a blended surface. An alternative to stains or sealers is applying a resurfacer or restoration product. These finishes are like a very thick paint. Applied with a brush or roller, they cover deck boards and do not show wood grain.
