Always wear a mask when you're sanding wood to avoid inhaling any dust.

How to prepare stained or varnished wood
Properly preparing your wood will give you a better finish in the long run,
so it's worth the effort.
Wrap
120 grit sandpaper around a block and sand the surface of your door or
window to remove old finishes. Not only will this remove the varnish, but
it will smooth it out and provide a better surface for your Woodstain to
stick to.
Use
white spirit and a cloth to clean down the surface and remove any excess
dust.
How to prepare new wood
Lightly
sand your door or window to even out any imperfections
Wipe down
with white spirit and leave it to dry
If
you're treating veneer, follow the supplier's guidelines.
Application
Give
the tin a good stir to make sure the colour pigment is thoroughly mixed.
Test
the Woodstain on a small patch to make sure you're happy with the colour.
If you
are, use a brush to apply the Woodstain in the direction of the grain.
Wait
four hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second. Leave the
second coat to dry for four hours.
You
need three coats for the best finish. Before you apply the third coat,
lightly sand the wood to help the stain stick for a smoother finish. Apply
the third coat and that's it!
You'll
need to wait 12 hours for the third coat to dry completely but it will be
rainproof in just one.
If you get any stain on
yourself, you can wash it off with warm, soapy water.
