The Can Label Text -- For application to bare wood prior to staining with Oil Stain (or with any pigmented wiping stains) to help eliminate unevenness of ‘blotchy’ spots in soft porous woods.
Apply Pre-stain, wipe off excess, and then apply a stain in 3-5 minutes.
Also: As a Stain, add Oil Colors (or Pigments in Oil) to create your own custom color wiping wood stains.
Pre-Stain Directions: Preparation: Surface must be clean, dry and sanded to 180 - 220 grit smoothness.
Application of Pre-stain Wood Conditioner: • Use Spray, Brush, or Rag to apply a uniform wet coat to the wood surface. • Allow the Pre-stain to soak into the wood for 3-5 minutes. • Wipe off excess. • Allow the surface to dry 30-60 minutes, and then apply a pigmented wiping stain.

Additional Tips and Guidelines:
Note: Pre-Stain is not intended for use under Dyes
Use as a Pre-Stain on bare wood or on dyed wood or, as a stain base to make Custom Color Stains for use on bare wood or on dyed wood.
For Deep Rich Colors: FIRST use a NGR or Aniline dye on the bare wood (especially on light toned or dense woods). A similar toned dye will make obtaining the desired color with the stain much easier.
Remember, the most important color in a wood finish is the wood itself !
For consistent repeatable results: 1 - Maintain Penetration and Drying times. 2 - Use the Same type of Cloth & wiping technique! (different cloth fiber content will absorb differently & yield uneven unpredictable results) 3 - Keep Shop Notes for each finishing schedule: As a pre-stain or a custom color stain, result will differ depending on wood density, porosity & application technique.
