Raw Wood: On hard woods such as Maple, Birch and Oak, sand no finer that 150 grit. On so woods such as Pine, Alder and Cherry sand no finer than 180 grit.
Pre‐finished Wood: Clean using 50/50 mix of denatured alcohol and water with maroon non‐woven pad. Sand with fine (220‐320) foam sanding pad or maroon non‐woven pad.
Other Substrates: Can be used. Always test for adhesion.
Application Tips on Raw Wood: Apply stain using a rag, bristle brush, foam brush or paint pad applicator and wipe of excess with a clean cloth. If a darker color is desired, allow the first coat to dry completely and then a 2nd coat can be applied in the same manor.
Application Tips on Existing Finishes or Solid Substrates: Apply stain using a rag, bristle brush, foam brush or paint pad applicator. Remove excess stain with a cloth or bristle brush to achieve desired effect. Note: Do NOT apply a thick coat like a paint without removing excess. Always test for adhesion.
