Woodstain requires careful application to achieve optimum results. Here are the key steps in the process:
The wood must be clean, dry and free of any previous finish (wax, varnish, paint, etc.). For wooden floors, careful sanding is necessary to obtain a smooth, even surface. New woodwork should be lightly sanded, while old woodwork should be stripped or thoroughly sanded. It is important to avoid using steel wool, which could cause corrosion stains.
The stain is applied evenly using a brush, spalter, short-haired roller or cotton cloth, following the grain of the wood. For large surfaces such as parquet, the use of a single-brush machine fitted with a beige pad is recommended. It is crucial to work in small sections and wipe off excess product as you go along with a lint-free cotton cloth to ensure perfect evenness.
Drying time is approximately 8 hours at 20°C. After this time, the colour can be covered with the chosen finish (sealant, varnish, oil or wax). For water-based finishes, we recommend applying a hard primer coat before the final finish to fix the colour.
These meticulous steps guarantee the successful application of Blanchon wood stain, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood while ensuring a long-lasting, even colour.
Although Blanchon wood stain is designed to be safe to use, certain precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the user and the quality of the product:
The product is classified as hazardous and carries the following warning: ‘Caution! Dangerous respirable droplets may be formed during spraying. Do not breathe aerosols or mists’.
