Transform Your Timber Headboard With Feast Watson Stain & Varnish
Create the sleep space of your dreams when you refresh a timber headboard. Stain & Varnish will leave your timber looking stylish and contemporary. Plus, it goes with just about any bed linen!
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR TIMBER HEADBOARD FOR COATING:
- Move your headboard outside or place onto a drop sheet.
- Smooth the surface by sanding with a sanding block or an orbital sander.
- Use a damp cloth to wipe away all dust remnants and residue, so your surface is clean and ready to be coated.
Tip: Feast Watson products may look different depending on your timber type. To ensure you love your final colour, test your choice of Stain & Varnish on an off-cut of the timber you intend to coat.
Tip: To achieve a super smooth finish, apply a coat of Feast Watson Sanding Sealer, observing the label instructions. Leave to dry completely before staining.
HOW TO ADD RICH COLOUR AND PROTECTION:
- Stir Feast Watson Stain & Varnish thoroughly. Avoid introducing any bubbles as you work.
- Use a paint brush or short nap roller (5mm) to apply the product to your timber headboard. Work along the timber grain.
- Once you have stained the whole surface, leave it to dry for 12 hours. Don’t forget to stain the sides of the headboard, too.
- Once dry, sand lightly before applying a second coat. Make sure you remove all sanding dust with a cloth before application.
- Follow the 3 coat system by applying 3 coats of product, starting with Stain & Varnish. If you achieve your desired colour in less than 3 coats of Stain & Varnish, you will need to make up the remaining coats with Feast Watson Clear Varnish. For example, if you apply 1 coat of Stain & Varnish, you will need 2 coats of Clear Varnish. This will provide full protection and complete the 3 coat system.
- Leave to dry completely (8 hours).
- Style the headboard and admire your handiwork!
