Does unfinished furniture still need to be sanded prior to staining if I use a pre-stain wood conditioner?
My furniture is made of parawood which is a light-wood similar to pine.
Yes.I would sand ……………we used to give any new wood products a water bath with a damp cloth….let it dry and then lightly sand. The water bath causes the grain to raise just a bit and helps remove dirt and finger oil from the surface and if it hasn’t removed it …..the water helps raise enough grain up and a light sanding will help. It helps to make a better looking finish if you are staining………if your painting I still would lightly sand. It’s just like a car…..the way to find the flaws is to lightly wash it……….on the way by……your likely to spot the little chips and problems and be able to overcome them……..good luck and all the best on your project. bye
