FAQs

Is this stain suitable for floors?

Yes, it is suitable for interior wood floors. However, for durability, especially on high-traffic floors, a protective varnish like Woodeedoo varnish is highly recommended after the stain has dried.

How many coats of stain are recommended?

The manufacturer recommends 2 coats, with 24 hours of drying time between each coat, for optimal color depth and consistency.

Can I use this stain on previously varnished or painted wood?

No, this stain is designed for raw, unfinished timber. Existing finishes must be completely removed (sanded back) before application for the stain to properly penetrate and adhere.

How do I clean up the stain?

As it is a water-based stain, cleanup is simple. Use water to clean brushes, rollers, spray equipment, and any spills immediately after use.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is approximately 10–12 m² per litre, per coat, depending on the type of wood and its absorbency.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors on items such as planters, benches, and furniture, but it must be finished with a suitable protective oil to withstand weather conditions.

What is the drying time?

The drying time is typically 1–2 hours. However, allow 24 hours between coats for best results.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color application

Ensure the wood is properly prepared (sanded and clean) and that the stain was adequately shaken. Apply thin, even coats and avoid overworking the stain in one area.

Stain not drying

Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure thin coats were applied and there are no excess layers. Allow more time in adverse conditions.

Color appears too light

Apply a second coat as recommended. Ensure you are applying to raw, unfinished wood for maximum absorption. For a deeper color, multiple coats may be necessary.

Wood grain is not visible

This is typical of opaque stains. If you desire visible grain, consider a different product or ensure only one thin coat is applied to allow some wood texture to show through. This product is a dye, so grain should generally be visible.
