Surface Preparation

• Surfaces (raw and previously finished) must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, grease, and glue.
• For Raw Wood: Sand with #120-grit sandpaper followed by #180-grit or finer for a smoother finish if desired. Remove all dust.
• Over Previously Finished Surfaces: Lightly sand surface with 400 grit sandpaper. Remove all dust.
• To ensure uniform stain color and beautiful results on bare wood, apply BEHR Premium Oil-Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner prior to staining. Follow label instructions.

Product Preparation and Color Testing

• Stir stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Do not thin.
• Always test stain on an inconspicuous area of the wood to verify desired color.
• The color will vary depending on the type of wood.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.

Stain Application on Bare Wood

• After the wood surface has been cleaned, sanded smooth and all dust removed, apply stain liberally in direction of the grain with a brush, foam applicator or lint-free cloth.
• Allow the stain to penetrate up to 5 minutes.
• Wipe with a soft cloth, first across the grain, then with the grain until all excess is wiped off.
• Do not allow the stain that has not absorbed to dry on the surface.

Clear Finish Application

• Allow the stain to dry for a minimum of 12 hours.
• Complete your project by applying a BEHR Premium® clear protective finish, following label directions.

Dry Time

• Allow at least 12 hours to dry before re-coating or top coating with a BEHR clear protective finish.
