Re-staining actionwood?
« on: January 23, 2013, 12:42:00 PM »
I know actionwood is already pre-stained so I know I can't completely change the color but can I change the tint?  Can I use a furniture stripper on it to help lighter the original color without delaminating it?  This is for a riser that's an ugly greenish gray color.

Mat,

Paint it rather then try to change the stain.

Take the shine off it and try some GEL stain. I have seen MDF stained with gel stain and you would think it was real cherry wood.
