restains
Applies wood finish
Restains is the third-person singular of restain, meaning to stain again.
Wood floors or furniture may need to be restained when the original finish fades or wears: After sanding, she restains the deck every few years.
The word also applies to laboratory work, where specimens are restained when initial staining proves inadequate.
