A few people have done so with light sanding, and adding either Minwax Red Oak or Sedona Red stain. I don't see how the stain can begin to soak, even a tiny bit. into what is mostly a hard resin plastic material........
They didn't describe which 'grit' sandpaper (one thought it was 400 or 600), or whether very Fine rubbing then allows one or possibly two layers of stain to adhere to the wood-impregnated resin furniture--then dry.
One gent did this basic procedure, then added one layer of thin Tung Oil each day until about five layers had been used.
We know that others have simply (only) added a layer or two of polyurethane or similar clear sealant, to increase the color's brightness.
-No stains etc, just a poly etc.
Which method seems to work best, even if the result seems overly shiny and much more orange/red than the original Czech 'furniture'?
Unlike my imported AKMs such, a very bright reddish orange on my Czechpoint VZ-58 would provide a strange, extremely unique appeal: Google Images.
