Blackfriar Traditional Exterior Woodstain - Ebony - 250ml

While it can be used indoors, it is specifically formulated for exterior durability. For interior wood, a product designed for indoor use might offer a better finish and odor profile.

The longevity of the finish depends on environmental exposure. Under normal conditions, the protection and appearance can last for several years, with reapplication recommended as needed, typically every 2-4 years.

A primer is recommended for bare or new wood to ensure even absorption and enhance adhesion. If the wood is already stained or painted, ensure the old finish is sound and properly prepared, or consider a compatible undercoat.

Coverage can vary depending on the wood's porosity and the application method. Refer to the product packaging for the specific coverage rate per liter or per square meter.

It is generally not recommended to paint directly over the woodstain. For best results, the woodstain should be removed or a compatible primer applied before painting.

Store in the original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent drying out.

Ensure the stain was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between coats. Uneven absorption due to wood type might require an additional coat.

Check for excessively humid conditions or low temperatures, which can slow drying. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from moisture. Avoid applying too thickly.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application over a non-compatible surface or finish. Ensure the wood was clean, dry, and properly primed if necessary before application.

Ensure at least two coats have been applied and allowed to cure fully. Reapplication may be necessary if the finish has worn down due to excessive exposure or wear.
