I started with one chair. I sanded it first, then wiped, and let it dry, and then i put stain on. And I see a few spots that seems like I didn't sand very good. So, the color is uneven. plus the chair has a plywood part on a back of a seat, it turns pretty ugly. What should I do? Let it dry, and sand it again, then stain it? Or let it dry, put primer and paint over it? CAN I pait it?
you can paint it, but you'd need to sand again anyway or the paint will look bad, too. best is to dry, re-sand refinish. it was what you wanted in the first place anyway, right?
Depending on the wood, it will absorb uneven. Pine is the worst for uneven absorbtion. You need Minwax Wood Conditioner. Put that on, let it dry and restain.
you said refinishing the chairs so I assume they had some type of finish on them previously, If you want to stain them ,you must strip them to do it correctly otherwise the new stain will look uneven, yes you could paint them if that is the look you want,but you will have to prime them first.Plywood will not stain like a species of wood so you will have to put some ,very little stain on a rag and lightly rub some color on and slowly add more until it closely matches the actual wood on the chair ,this can be tricky,if you add too much stain, take a rag and put some paint thinner on it and rub some color out until you get the match you can live with....painting contractor.
