Master the Art of Wood Staining with Axalta
Join Our Hands-On Axalta Stain Class on Nov 3 👇
Natural wood finishes and custom stains are taking center stage in high-end cabinetry, architectural millwork, and furniture design across Florida. But unlike standard paint—which builds a film over a surface—wood stain requires a completely different technical approach, from wood cell preparation to precise application timing.
To help local woodworkers, cabinet makers, and refinishing pros stay ahead of this growing finish trend, Pinellas Paint & Industrial Finishes is hosting another hands-on Axalta Wood Stain Masterclass on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
Whether you want to eliminate blotching, speed up your spray line, or master rich wiping stains, this interactive session brings Axalta's top technical instructors directly to our Pinellas Park shop floor.
What You’ll Learn During the Class 🤓
Stain application is equal parts chemistry and craft. Led by technical specialists from Axalta, this intensive class focuses on practical, real-world shop techniques:
Proper Surface Preparation: How grit selection, wood species, and grain orientation dictate stain absorption and color consistency.
Wiping vs. Spraying Techniques: Hands-on instruction comparing traditional hand-wiping methods with spray-no-wipe and spray-and-wipe systems for maximum production speed.
Stain vs. Paint Chemistries: Deep dive into how stain pigments and dyes bind to cellulose fibers versus film-forming coatings—and why choosing the right base prevents finish failure down the road.
Troubleshooting Common Finish Defects: How to avoid lap marks, haloing, dark end-grain, and blotchy absorption on challenging woods like Maple, Alder, and Pine.
Stain Class: Back by Popular Demand 🖌️
This marks our second dedicated stain training session of the year. Following the overwhelming success of our Axalta & Anest Iwata Staining Masterclass on April 14, we are bringing back the Axalta team to deliver updated techniques, new color formulas, and expanded hands-on practice.
