Littlefair's Indoor Wood Stain in Black Ebony is designed for DIY enthusiasts and woodworkers looking to achieve a professional, aged aesthetic on interior timber projects such as furniture, doors, and skirting boards. Its primary benefit is a high-quality, water-based formula that penetrates deeply to highlight the natural grain with a rich, dark finish. However, users must ensure the wood is stripped to its bare, sanded state before application, as the product will not adhere or penetrate through existing paints, varnishes, or waxes.

No, this product is specifically formulated for indoor use and does not contain the weather-proofing properties required for exterior timber.
No, this is a wood stain, not a paint. It must be applied directly to bare, sanded wood to function correctly.
It is water-based and free from toxic chemicals, making it a safe choice for indoor furniture, though it should be allowed to cure completely before use.
The stain is fast-drying, though specific times can vary based on humidity and the type of wood; generally, it is touch-dry within a short period.
While it can be experimented with, we recommend using the formula as provided to maintain the integrity of the Black Ebony finish.
You can use a good quality synthetic bristle brush, a foam applicator, or a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
This occurs because the wood still has an existing finish, such as varnish or wax. You must sand the wood back to the raw, bare grain for the stain to absorb.
Ensure the wood is sanded uniformly. Patches often occur if some areas are sanded more than others, creating different levels of porosity.
Littlefair's stains are highly pigmented. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of the same wood type before committing to the entire project.
To prepare for application, ensure your wood is completely free of any varnish, lacquer, or wax—if the water cannot penetrate the fibers, the stain will fail to take. After staining, you may choose to seal the wood with a compatible wax or varnish once the stain is fully cured to protect the finish from daily wear and tear. Store the stain in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation. Clean your brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
