QuestionIf you are tired of the darker stain in a couple of years is it reversable or is that permant?DonaganTop AnswererIt's reversible if someone is willing to do the work required. You'd have to sand off the old stain (and any finish product) and replace it with new stain or paint.

QuestionCan I apply a varnish as a protector instead of a sealer?Guitarteacher91Community AnswerVarnish is a sealer. However, if it's out in the weather, it will gradually break down and look ugly and not seal anymore. The best bet is first to use a standard sealer (either colored or clear). Then you can varnish.

QuestionMy old pine doors are already stained. Can I re-stain them with an oak stain?Guitarteacher91Community AnswerYou can re-stain them in oak, but prep first is important, depending on their condition. You can try to get the old stain out with diluted Clorox and then a good rinsing and drying, but you won't be able to get all the stain out, so your oak effect won't be the same as if it were virgin wood.
