FAQs
What type of wood surfaces can I use this woodstain on?
This woodstain is suitable for all interior and exterior wooden surfaces, including barge boards, decking, cladding, doors, and furniture.
How many coats of woodstain should I apply?
For bare wood, it is recommended to apply 2-3 coats. For previously finished surfaces, 1-2 coats may be sufficient depending on the desired level of coverage.
What is the expected lifespan of the protection?
The woodstain provides up to 5 years of weather protection for exterior timber.
Can I use this woodstain in cold weather?
It is best to apply this woodstain in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid application in very cold, damp, or excessively humid conditions, as this can affect drying and finish quality.
How do I clean my brushes after using this product?
Clean your brushes and application tools with water immediately after use.
Is this woodstain suitable for wooden surfaces that come into contact with food?
No, this woodstain is not recommended for use on surfaces that will be in direct contact with food.
What does 'microporous finish' mean?
A microporous finish allows moisture vapor to escape from the wood while preventing liquid water from penetrating. This helps to resist cracking, blistering, and peeling.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy finish
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared and free from dust. Stir the woodstain thoroughly before and during application. Apply coats evenly, avoiding over-application in some areas and under-application in others. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Woodstain not drying
Check ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure the product has not been applied too thickly. In cold or very humid conditions, drying times can be extended. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Cracking or peeling after application
This often indicates inadequate surface preparation or application over a non-compatible previous coating. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound. If applying to bare wood, ensure enough coats were applied. Avoid applying in very cold or damp conditions.
