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 the 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 a 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.
