DIRECTIONS:
Surface must be clean and dry of all wax, grease, oil, glue stains and stripper residue
Stir only if clear liquid visible on surface
NEW BARE WOOD PROJECTS:
Sand thoroughly with progressively finer sand paper finishing with 220grit, and remove all sanding dust with a tack cloth
PREVIOUSLY COATED WOOD PROJECTS:
Old wood surfaces must be stripped thoroughly down to bare wood
Use a good quality paint varnish remover, then wash off with paint thinner
Allow surface to dry
Treat as new wood surface
APPLICATION:
Apply Gel Stain liberally to the surface using a soft lint-free cloth or brush, going first against the grain to fill the wood pores, and then with the grain to even out the colour
Allow stain to penetrate surface for 2-5 minutes
Wipe off excess stain using even pressure with a clean soft cloth, making final strokes with the grain
If stain effect is too dark, wipe with a thinner-dampened rag until desired colour is achieved
Apply additional coats for darker colours COMPOSITE DOORS AND NON-WOOD
SURFACES:
These surfaces have a wood grain pattern printed on a smooth surface or an embossed grain effect on a white primed surface
Gel Stain creates the look of real wood by accentuating the grain pattern
The surface must be clean and dust-free
Do not wipe down with water and/or cleaners
Use paint thinner to wipe clean and allow to dry
Wipe on the stain in a circular motion going both with and against the grain
Gently wipe off excess stain working with the grain
Feather any missed areas with a brush or cloth
When staining a door it is easier to do when the door is off its frame and lying horizontally
CLEAN-UP:
Use paint thinner or mineral spirits
Caution: spread used rags flat and allow to dry thoroughly before discarding
Stain soaked rags are highly combustible and create a fire hazard when compressed and discarded
