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. If the stain is too dark, the color strength may be reduced using Promatch C-Mix Stain Base 825-9000.

---

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.
