Staining timbers prior to clear coating

Where virgin timbers are presented for staining prior to coating, we recommend the following:

1. Use a solvent-based product.
2. Go back over the applied area with solvent to re-distribute the intensity of the stain.
3. Apply stains directly to the timber, not after the surface has been sealed or primed.
4. Ensure adequate drying time before applying Northane Clear or any of our other clear finishes.
