Troubleshooting
Woodstain is not drying properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as extreme conditions can affect drying times. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (minimum 16 hours).
The finish is uneven.
Ensure you've stirred the woodstain thoroughly before application. Apply the woodstain evenly, and avoid applying too much product in one area. If necessary, sand lightly between coats.
The woodstain is peeling or flaking.
This often indicates poor surface preparation or incompatibility with the existing coating. Remove the old finish, prepare the surface properly, and apply the woodstain as directed.
Colour is not as expected.
Ensure you are applying the correct number of coats. Colour may also vary based on the wood type. Test in a small, inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.
Brush marks are visible after application.
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the woodstain in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling the product.
