Using a high quality nylon brush, dip approximately an inch
into the can, gently tapping it against the inside to remove
any excess. Apply a thin, even coat following the direction of
the grain making sure to maintain a wet edge. To minimize
the brush marks and bubbles after staining application, tip
off the surface by holding the brush at a 45 degree angle and
lightly run the bristles over the entire length of the wood.
Floor Application: use a synthetic pad applicator or nylon/
polyester brush and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
