hobbies and interests woodworkingCan beadboard be stained?
Last Updated: 19th April, 2020
Beadboard—large, thin sheets of wooden wall paneling—can be painted or stained to any color desired, just as you would stain any other type of wood. Although beadboard can be stained after it's been applied to a wall, it is easier to stain the paneling before installing it.

Just so, how do you paint stained beadboard?
- STEP 1: Clean the wall paneling with diluted TSP.
- STEP 2: Lightly sand the wood paneling.
- STEP 3: Protect the floor from paint splatter using drop cloths and painter's tape.
- STEP 4: Apply two thin coats of stain-blocking primer.
- STEP 5: Apply at least two thin coats of paint.
Furthermore, can you sand beadboard? Sand the beadboard with 220-grit sandpaper, using a dry hand sander. The sandpaper smooths defects in the wood and removes top coat finishes, making the beadboard suitable for a fresh coat of paint. Wipe all sandust off the beadboard with a clean tack cloth.

Can you stain OSB?
OSB (oriented strand board) is similar to plywood and used primarily for subfloors, covering exterior wall studs and roofing. It is not usually stained or painted, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. OSB used for interior and exterior projects will accept stain and clear coat sealing products.
