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® Polycrylic® Protective Finish with a synthetic bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direc- tion 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 three times. 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 racks.

Minwax® Polycrylic® is an ultra fast-drying water-based finish.
