Transforming Our Railing From Boring Brown to Beautiful Black Stain
I would try it on a blank wood rod or spindle. Just put some on your latex gloved hand and rub down the shaft once in a twisting manner. You can do the same thing with a stain or paint color. I did a stairwell of spindles with a light brush with stain in a similar fashion. Gave a nice effect .
If your spindles have a glossy finnish, I would rub them down with a bit of sandpaper first. I do not remember the brand of stain I used, but all are about the same. I still recommend you test it out until you are satisfied with your skill set and technique. Maybe buy a $5 old chair at a junk shop and test it out on the spindles.
