BEHLEN Solar-Lux NGR DYE Stains
Solar-Lux is a highly fade and U.V. Resistant, 'Non Grain Raising' Dye stain. The deep penetration and colorful transparency brings out the natural beauty and grain of the wood. Solar-Lux dyes may be intermixed to achieve customized shades. Solar-Lux dries in approximately 5 minutes and accepts a finish coat of varnish, polyurethane, oil or conventional lacquer. Solar-Lux may be added to shellacs or Behlen lacquers (best for spray application) to produce a superior toner that deepens colors without clouding or 'painting' the finish.

Application Notes & Tips:
NGR Solar-Lux Dye minimizes grain raising and penetrates into surfaces where water based dyes are repelled by resinous hard woods or when residual finish is left in the grain from finish stripper operations.
Solar-Lux Retarder will provide more working time for application and allow better penetration on dense surfaces.
To develop an even rich tone, with proper penetration, always apply 2 coats of ‘working strength’ dye.
|
Evaluating a ‘working strength’ dye tone:
If two ‘wet’ coats (when dry and a topcoat applied) look too dark add Solar-Lux Reducer, including Retarder if needed, to lighten color strength.
Why Bleach?
In some cases, the natural wood color needs to be removed using a 2 part wood bleach especially to obtain some light wood tones or light, clean primary colors.
For best results allow 4 - 8 hours drying time prior to top-coating.
