SURFACE PREPARATION
(Proper surface preparation is required)
Surface must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, grease, glue, and
existing coatings before staining.
Sand the wood in the direction of the grain using ne-grit
sandpaper (#150) until smooth.
• Remove all sanding dust.
To ensure uniform acceptance of stain color and beautiful results,
pretreat the wood with BEHR
®
Water-Based Pre-Stain Wood
Conditioner following label directions.
PRODUCT PREPARATION AND COLOR TESTING
• Stir stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
Do not thin.
Always test stain on an inconspicuous area of the wood to
verify desired color.
STAIN APPLICATION
Apply stain in the direction of the grain with a brush or clean cloth.
Allow the stain to penetrate 5-10 minutes to achieve desired
color. 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.
