ZAR Wood Stain can be applied to all
varieties of wood, both unnished and
previously nished, and can be used on
surfaces that have been previously painted
or varnished to achieve a wood grain effect.
ZAR Wood Stain brings out the beauty of
wood on interior surfaces such as cabinets,
oors, paneling, antiques, doors, wood trim
and unnished furniture.
Steel Doors or Painted Surfaces: In
addition to wood doors, ZAR Wood Stain
when used with the ZAR Graining Tool is
excellent for making steel doors look like real
wood.
Grained Embossed Surfaces (Fiberglass,
Steel or Composite):
Because berglass doors have a wood grain
embossed in their surface, ZAR Wood Stain
can be used to quickly and easily bring to life
the door’s real wood look.
Stains and clear nishes will not adhere to
shellac or lacquer. ey should be removed
before renishing.
