Surface Preparation

Wood substrate should be sanded with 120, 150 or 180 grit paper prior to staining or coating.  On woods such as maple, coarser sanding, such as 150 grit, should be performed to avoid polishing of the wood surface.  Hand sanding in the direction of the grain following orbital sanding will remove swirl marks.

General Information

Application may be by hand or spray.  These stains must be wiped into the grain and wiped clean with a clean rag to ensure good adhesion by subsequent clear coats.

The VOC levels of the stain are such that they can be tinted up to 12% by weight and remain 275 compliant.

These products may be clear coated with any of the following systems: All waterborne, pre-catalyzed lacquer, post-catalyzed lacquer, varnish from Chemcraft as well as the sealers associated with these systems. 

These stains demonstrate good open time to allow for uniform appearance on large pieces.

Product must be thoroughly agitated before use.

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
