What is the main difference between a stain and a paint?
a.Stain always has more pigment and hides completely
b.Stain generally has less pigment/binder and penetrates or shows the wood grain, while paint forms an opaque film on the surface
c.They are the same product with different labels
d.Paint can only be used on metal
Explicación
Stains are formulated with less binder and pigment so they soak into and highlight the wood grain rather than forming a thick opaque film. Paint builds a continuous, opaque film on the surface that hides the substrate. Semi-transparent and solid-color stains fall on a spectrum between the two.
