For best results
Test: Be sure to test your stain to verify the desired color. To test apply the stain to an inconspicuous area. When testing on soft wood, be sure to sand and condition the test area.
Stir: Stir the contents thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or clean, lint-free cloth. Apply the stain across the grain until the wood is saturated on top.
Wipe: Wipe the excess stain off in the direction of the wood grain. Do not let the stain dry before wiping excess.
Dry: Allow the stain to dry. Check can label for drying time.
Note: a second coat can be added after two hours. Do not sand between coats.
Quick-Tip
It’s better to apply stain to a vertical project by wiping instead of brushing to avoid dripping.
