Q&A: I need to know how to make a spot in wood match the rest of the wood when being stained?

Question by caliguywants2bacop: I need to know how to make a spot in wood match the rest of the wood when being stained?
I am going to stain the outside of a house the wood siding on the house has little football looking figures in it where they must have patched spots at the factory. I just need to find some way to make it match the rest of the wood as I stain the exterior. Some of the football patterns dont match the wood color will it stain the same??


Best answer:
Answer by nathanael_bealIt appears that you have paint grade not stain grade siding. However, if you still want to stain, here is what you need to do. Apply the stain of your choice according to manufacturers specs, let it dry for a sufficient length of time, then cover with a clear sealer of you choice (Varnish, Laquer, or shellac). Once the sealer is dry to the touch get out a small paint brush and several colors of stain close to the color that you desire and paint the stain onto the spots that you need to
