Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — wood must be clean, dry, and free of existing finish, wax, or contaminants before application. Apply with a natural-bristle brush, lint-free cloth, or foam applicator, working in the direction of the grain, then wipe away excess before the stain dries. Allow the stain to fully cure per manufacturer guidance before applying any protective topcoat. Adequate ventilation should be maintained during application and drying in accordance with local codes and safety regulations.
