Usage SummaryBlank space if empty.

Surface PreparationBlank space if empty.

Proper surface preparation is required.

FOR STRIPPED, UNSTAINED OR RAW WOOD:

• Before starting, the surface must be dry, clean and free of dirt, grease, and glue.
• Sand the wood in the direction of the grain using fine-grade sandpaper (#150-220 grit) until smooth.
• Remove all sanding dust.
• To help ensure uniform acceptance of stain color and beautiful results, pretreat new or raw wood with BEHR® Water-Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, following label directions.

FOR PREVIOUSLY FINISHED WOOD THAT IS NOT BEING STRIPPED:

• Before starting, the surface must be dry, clean and free of dirt, grease, and glue.
• Lightly sand the existing finish with 400 grit sandpaper to ensure adhesion. Remove all sanding dust.

Product Preparation and Color TestingBlank space if empty.

• Stir BEHR Stain & Poly In One thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Do not thin.
• Always test Stain & Poly on a scrap piece or hidden area of wood to verify desired color.

ApplicationBlank space if empty.

• Using a high-quality nylon/polyester bristle brush, dip approximately an inch into the can, gently tapping it against the inside to remove any excess.
• Apply a very THIN, even coat following the direction of the grain.
• Make sure to maintain a “wet” edge.
• To minimize the brush marks and bubbles after staining, tip off the surface by holding the brush at a 45-degree angle and lightly run the bristles over the entire length of the wood.
• Let the first coat dry for 1 hour or more.
• Dry time may be extended due to high humidity, low temperatures, and inadequate ventilation or if the coat is applied too thick.
• Lightly sand the surface between coats with fine sandpaper (#400 grit).
• Remove all dust. Brush on a second thin coat following directions above.
• To deepen the color, apply a third coat. NOTE: For additional protection, without adding color, add a coat of BEHR Fast Drying Polyurethane.
• Please refer to the back label of the container for application instructions.
