How do you apply transparent stain?

Considering this, what is the best way to apply stain?

The basic rule for getting good results with any wood stain is to apply a wet coat and wipe off the excess before it dries. You can use any tool – rag, brush, paint pad, roller or spray gun – to apply the stain. You can even dip the object into stain or pour the stain onto the wood and spread it around.

Beside above, can you spray wiping stain? Normal stain will basically paint the surface and hide the grain. You could spray the stain and then wipe it off as if you applied with a rag or whatever. You will waste more product, but it is faster. Stain cleans up out of guns easily with lacquer thinner, and spraying it with your good gun really won't hurt.

The biggest difference between a semi-transparent stain and a solid stain is the opacity. Semi-transparent stains are pigmented stains that impart some color on the wood while still allowing some of the grain of the wood to show though. Solid stains are opaque stains with lots of pigment that covers the wood grain.

When can I apply second coat of stain?

Apply a second coat of stain after the first has dried fully. This will usually produce a darker coloring, but it adds a step to the process and slows production. Substitute a glaze or gel stain for the liquid stain.
