Directions -
1. Scrub with Dawn dish soap to remove any dirt, grime and grease. Wipe with water. Then wipe down with denatured alcohol mixed with water or with Krud Kutter®. Then wipe with water again
NEVER USE TSP PRODUCTS
(TSP will cause wood based coatings to not adhere properly)
2. Recommended but not necessary -
Quickly scuff sand with 220 grit sandpaper to "key" the surface then wipe down with a clean, damp (water) rag
3. Tape off all areas you need to paint around
4. Brush on 2 coats of Wood'n Primer allowing to dry for at least 2 hours between
coats.
Make final strokes long and in the direction you want the wood grain
5. (If you want a smooth finish you can skip this step. Your brush strokes will make a very subtle grain)
After the wood'n primer has dried for 2 hours, brush on a thin coat of Wood'n Stain™ in plank size sections
Pull the graining tool through each section while coat is still wet. Wipe off the graining tool after each section.
6. After the wood'n stain has dried, brush on a light coat of gel stain if desired.
The more coats, the darker it will be. If you like the color that is, you can skip the stain and move onto step 7.
Make final strokes long in the direction you want the grain
Reminder: Do not wipe back the stain like you would with other stains
7. Seal your interior projects with tripletique and exterior projects with Polytique
