APPLICATION:
Stir stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
Do not thin. Apply stain in the direction of the grain with a
brush or clean cloth. Allow to penetrate for 5 to 10 minutes.
The more time the stain is allowed to penetrate, the richer
and darker the color will be. Remove stain that has not
absorbed into the wood with a clean cloth. Wipe in the
direction of the grain, while blending light and dark areas
to obtain uniform color. Do not allow stain that has not
penetrated into the wood to dry on the wood surface.
To darken the color, apply a second coat after 1 hour,
repeating directions above. Do not sand between coats of
stain. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 1 hour before
applying a BEHR clear protective nish.
