This water based wood stain is designed to colour the wood, it then requires a top coat of oil, lacquer or wax to finish the job.

These wood stains are made from the finest natural ingredients from around the world, to give quality colour pigement to the stains. This enhances the natural wood grain structure and depth of penetration. This is opposed to lesser quality pigments that leave the wood with a washed out zebra effect finish.

The hard and soft grain form the pattern in soft woods and pine, the soft grain makes up the majority of the wood content. Lower quality stains create a reverse negative effect that can be magnified once the top coat has been applied to give a bad finish.

Before applying the full treatment over the entire area, always try it in a small test area to confirm the desired results. Pay particular care and attention to the cut ends of the wood areas, these area tend to absorb more creating tide marks on the surface of the timber. Even though we have fully researched and tested these application areas, care still needs to be taken.

Darken the wood stain
The depth of the colour can be increased by applying 2 to 3 coats of water based wood stain. You can also personalise your wood stain colour by adding other red, yellow, orange or brown wood stain or concentrated dyes. This can create hundreds of colour variations by inter mixing our products to give you desired shade or perfect match.

Lighten the wood stain
This can be achieved by adding tap water to the stain. This raises the grain of the wood, and will vary dependent on the wood being treated. This effect will give it a rustic appearnace, if that is the desired effect, you can enhance the high and lows of the rustic colouring by brushing on a dark wax to the raised wood grain.

If marks on the wood are left after the water based staining application, these tend to be blemishes in the wood that can not be covered by water based wood stain.

It is always recommend that the wood stain is stirred or shaken before use. The stain can be stored above freezing (0 Centigrade) for a minimum of 4 years.

Always apply to a test area first.

Application
This is very easy and versatile wood stain to apply with it being water based. This gives you good working time with the stain, so you can tidy up runs and excess areas to give you a nice even finish once dried.

Foam Sponge: Large surface areas can be wiped over with a sponge easily, when more pressure is applied to the sponge more stain is released to cover the area being treated to save time replenishing the sponge.

Paint Brush: This can be used for a more precise application of areas such as door frames, skirting boards and banisters etc. Masking tape is advisable when using the brush in these types of areas. Once dried the water based stains can be coated with most varnishes (lacquers), waxes and oils to give a final finish.

Spray gun: Any spray gun system, including garden sprayers can be used for the job. Once an even application has been applied, the surface can wiped over with an absorbent cloth or sponge to remove excess stain.

Before applying the final top coat of wax, varnish (lacquers) or oil, give the surface a light rub over with sand paper, steel wool or denibbing pad.

When using a brush to apply the chosen top coat to the water based stain (such as water lacquer), ensure to keep the brush strokes to a minimum so not to lift the colour out of the stained wood. This is not a problem with spraying. If using a solvent lacquer over a water based stain (or vice versa) this is not a problem. Once the top coat is dry, further coats can be applied as normal.
