Troubleshooting
Woodstain not adhering properly
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease or old finishes before application. Re-sand and clean the surface, then reapply.
Uneven color after application
Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats, avoiding over-application in one spot. Ensure consistent application technique.
Water not beading on the surface after drying
This may indicate the finish has worn down due to age or extreme weather. Reapply a fresh coat of woodstain to restore water repellency.
Mold or mildew appearing on treated surface
Clean the affected area with a suitable cleaner and water. Ensure the woodstain is reapplied according to instructions to provide a protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and any existing treatments that may prevent adhesion. For best results, lightly sand any rough or splintered areas if necessary, then wipe clean. This product is designed for use on above-ground rough sawn timber only.
Application: Stir the woodstain thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly using a good quality brush or a sprayer. Work the product into the grain of the wood. For optimal protection, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per the product instructions. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is expected.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. To maintain the finish, inspect treated surfaces periodically and reapply the woodstain as needed, typically every 1-2 years depending on exposure conditions. Simple cleaning of the surface with a damp cloth can help preserve the finish.
