PREPARATION

Bare TimberSand the surface smooth using 180 - 240 grit sandpaper. Sand only in the direction of the grain. Remove all traces of sanding dust.
Previously Coated TimberCompletely remove the previous coating using a paint stripper or by sanding. Remove all traces of sanding dust.
IMPORTANTThe natural color of the timber will affect the finished color of the stain. The clear coating used to seal the stain may also have some effect on the final color. Always test the stain on an off-cut or concealed part of the actual job before proceeding.

APPLICATION
Apply with a brush, rag, or roller
1. Stir thoroughly with a broad flat paddle until pigment is mixed in and color is uniform. Keep well stirred during use. If using more than one can, mix all cans together into a larger container to ensure color uniformity.
2. Apply with a good quality brush, roller, or lint-free rag and work the stain evenly into the grain.
3. Allow to set for 2-10 minutes then rub with a clean soft cloth using a circular motion to remove any excess stain and produce an even-colored surface. The intensity of the color will depend on the porosity of the timber and the length of time before the stain is wiped off.
4. Allow 8 hours drying time.
5. Apply Cabot's Cabothane Clear Oil Based or Cabot's Danish Oil as a top coat following label instructions.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection of all coated surfaces is recommended.
Once water repellency has diminished, re-apply the existing topcoat as per label instructions.
If the timber needs re-staining, sand back to bare.
