How to properly apply stain
The application of the exterior glaze requires some precautions in order to obtain optimal results and a lifespan that meets your expectations.

- Shake well before use.
- Saturate all end grain, nail holes, cavities and cracks in the wood.
- Apply generous coats.
- Maintain a damp edge to avoid seam marks.
- Apply in the direction of the wood grain.
Things not to do...
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight.
- Do not apply when surface is hot to the touch.
- Avoid application in the presence of rain, dew or frost, or if these conditions are expected within the next five hours.
- Do not apply if the moisture content of the wood is greater than 18%.
Checking the color...
It is always recommended to carry out a color test by applying the recommended number of coats to a sample of wood that will be used in the project. This ensures that the desired shade is obtained.
