APPLICATION & MAINTENANCE
Rolled On Method – For a deep colour, roll out the stain evenly using a 10mm microfibre roller in the direction of the grain working out a few boards/areas at a time. Use a paint brush to blend the end boards and leave.
Buffed In Method – For a lighter two-toned effect use a SLOW speed buffing machine (175RPM) with Fiddes Buffing Cloth or like material on a pad. Pour the stain directly onto the pad and buff in evenly. Brush the stain on the edges and rag off the excess.
Wipe on/Wipe off Method -Take a clean, lint free cotton cloth or sponge and apply in the direction of the wood grain where possible. Take care to remove any excess stain immediately with a separate, clean absorbent cloth, again following the direction of the grain pattern. To obtain a uniform colour, always wipe evenly, blending the stain over the whole surface area by exerting a degree of pressure when applying by hand. Leave to dry, and do not sand between coats.
Drying time: 1 hour
