To stain for a different wood color:
1. Remove the top two racks. See WINE RACK REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to the two racks attached at
the drawer slides so wood can be removed for treatment.
3. Apply Minwax
®
Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a synthetic
bristle brush or a foam applicator. Stain must penetrate approxi-
mately three 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 two hours, repeat step 3. This will even out the color of the
wood.
5. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three 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
