						Stains & finishes Finishing The parts may be stained or painted. Whatever method is chosen, use very sparingly with a minimum of wax, or stain. Several thin coats are better than one thick one. Staining We strongly recommend that you completely assemble the clock and run it for a few days before applying any finish. Disassemble the main components. Apply a very small amount of stain with a piece of cloth and rub gently in the direction of the grain. Make sure there is no build up of stain in any of the gear teeth and no stain at all on the metal spindles or nylon bearings. Do not oil clock parts.
