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 synthet-
ic 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 fol-
lowing 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 Captain
®
racks.
