Product Information

Full details

Littlefair's Wood Stain in Medium Oak is designed for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners seeking to enhance bare timber with a natural, aged appearance. Its primary benefit is the unique water-based, non-toxic formula that deeply penetrates wood grain to provide a premium, character-filled finish without harsh odors. A key caveat is that this stain must be applied directly to bare, well-sanded wood, as it will not adhere to surfaces with existing wax, oil, or varnish coatings.

FAQs

Can I use this stain outdoors?

No, Littlefair's wood dyes are specifically formulated for interior wood projects.

Do I need to sand the wood before applying?

Yes, it is essential to sand the wood back to bare timber so the stain can penetrate the fibers.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Simply wash your brushes in warm, soapy water.

Is this product safe for children's furniture?

The formula is non-toxic and eco-friendly, making it a safe choice for indoor furniture.

Can I mix this with other colors?

While the product is designed to be used as-is, some users choose to experiment, but it is best to test on a hidden area first.

Does it come with a protective topcoat?

No, this is a wood dye, not a varnish. You should apply a wax, oil, or lacquer over it once dry for protection.

Troubleshooting

The stain is running off the surface

This occurs because there is still an existing finish (wax/varnish) on the wood. You must sand the wood back to the raw, bare grain.

The color appears patchy

This is often due to uneven sanding. Ensure the timber is sanded uniformly across the entire surface before reapplying.

The stain isn't drying as expected

Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and that you haven't applied an excessively thick coat in one go.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start with a surface that has been sanded to remove any previous coatings. If the wood still has a protective seal, the stain will bead up or run off.

Preparation: Sand the timber thoroughly. Ensure the surface is free from dust, dirt, and grease.
Application: Stir the product well before use. Apply evenly along the grain using a high-quality brush or lint-free cloth.
Build: If a darker shade is desired, allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat.
Care: Once the stain is fully dry, it is highly recommended to protect the finished surface with a suitable topcoat, such as a wax or varnish, to ensure long-term durability in high-traffic areas.
