Littlefair's Top Tip
To help create a fine finish you could raise the grain before the final sanding. Start by dampening the wood with a thin film of water. Once dry, a final sanding will restore the flatness ready for applying the stain.
Preparation
Careful, thorough preparation will result in a far superior finish.
Ensure your wood is as clean as possible and free from previous finishes. Do not apply the stain to wet surfaces. Well sanded wood will be far more receptive to stain, and this will form the basis for a good quality finish. Avoid cleaning the wood with white spirit!
Upturn and shake well for a few moments prior to use, ensuring any sediment is well mixed and the colour of the liquid is consistent throughout the entire bottle. Repeat prior to each use of the stain.
Application
Apply the stain liberally along the grain with a good quality brush, alternatively the stain can be sprayed.
Please note that each stain may require a different number of coats depending on the shade you desire. Further coats will deepen the shade if required.
We recommend using protective gloves and splash goggles during use and simply wash out your brush with cold water afterwards.
Completion
Once dry, the stained wood can be finished with a variety of protective products depending on the desired result.
Our Extra Strong Varnishes or Superior Worktop and Danish Oils will provide greater protection. Once the varnish or oil is completely dry, you can apply wax polish to create a durable yet softer, silky feel. Our Extra Strong Varnishes are quick drying and non-yellowing - ideal for producing a tough furniture finish on most wooden items.
The oils will be more suitable in damp conditions however to achieve a tough waterproof coating, Littlefair’s Titan Topcoat can be used for superior robust protection.
