Wood Trim
To stain for a different wood color:
1 Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see Rack Removal/
Installation.
2 Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3 Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain® to wood with a synthetic foam
brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 minutes. After this period, while
stain is still wet, take a stain dampened rag and remove all excess stain.
Wipe in the direction of the grain with medium pressure to achieve the
desired stain color.
4 After 2 hours, repeat step three. This will even out the color of the wood.
5 Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing.
6 If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the surface from
the staining process.
7 Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax Ultra Fast-Drying
Polycrylic Protective Finish® with a synthetic foam brush to the wood. This
finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direction of the grain. First
apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood. Allow this to dry for two
hours. Next apply the finish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for
two hours. Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same
manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the surface.
8 Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood to the wine
cooler racks.
