FAQs
How much area will 750ml of Johnstone's Woodstain cover?
Coverage is approximately 12 square meters per liter. The 750ml container will therefore cover roughly 9 square meters, depending on the wood type and application method.
How long does it take for the woodstain to dry?
The woodstain is touch-dry in about 1 hour. However, allow for sufficient time before exposing it to weather elements.
Can I use Johnstone's Woodstain on exterior surfaces?
Yes, Johnstone's Woodstain is suitable for both interior and exterior wood surfaces and provides excellent all-weather protection.
Do I need to apply a primer before using Johnstone's Woodstain?
No primer is generally needed. However, ensure the surface is properly prepared through cleaning and sanding to promote adhesion and even color distribution.
How many coats of woodstain should I apply?
For best results and optimal protection, it is usually recommended to apply two coats of the woodstain. Additional coats can be applied to achieve a darker, richer color.
How do I clean my tools after using Johnstone's Woodstain?
Clean brushes and applicators with a suitable solvent or cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I apply Johnstone's Woodstain over previously stained wood?
Yes, you can, but the old finish must be clean and free of any loose or flaking material, and it must be compatible with the new woodstain.
Troubleshooting
The woodstain is not drying properly.
Ensure the application area is well-ventilated, and the temperature is within the recommended range. Check for any underlying issues like dampness or contaminants on the wood surface, and ensure sufficient drying time between coats.
The color is uneven.
Prepare the surface properly by sanding and cleaning. Apply the woodstain evenly, following the grain of the wood. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.
The woodstain is peeling or flaking.
This may be due to poor surface preparation or incompatibility with the existing finish. Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared by sanding and removing old finishes. If the problem persists, consider a different product for your project.

Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from any existing coatings, dirt, grease, or loose particles. Sand the surface to provide a smooth finish and enhance adhesion. Use a wood cleaner appropriate for the wood type.

Compatibility: This woodstain is compatible with most types of wood, both hardwood and softwood. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to check for compatibility and desired color.
Care: Once the woodstain is dry, minimal maintenance is required. Clean surfaces with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Reapply the woodstain every few years, depending on exposure to the elements.
