i learned, through trial and error (lots of errors), that a good staining technique is a teabag soaked in white vinegar. i won't bore you with the chemistry, but vinegar stains calcium.

think easter eggs.

you can apply it with a brush, q-tip or any small applicator. tape off areas you don't want stained. if it's an indented area paint the edge with elmer's glue to seal that off. it will wash off.
