Howfar Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I've stained the mahogany body with minwax sedona red but it isn't nearly as red as I had hoped for. Is it too late already? I want deep dark red. What's my next step? I don't have spray facilities so I'm gonna use wipe-on poly for a finish. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidlook Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Have you tried to stain and apply the poly on a testpiece? Chanses are quite good it's gonna look a little darker once you clearcoat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Use a test piece, but try another application of stain. That should darken it, unless the stain itself isn't as dark as you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howfar Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Yah, I tested. It's gonna be dark enough. I've stained it twice. The color is nice too. I just want it to be more red. I'm wondering if there's a dye or tint that can be used on the already stained wood. I've never used them before.
