Application of Pre-stain

the wood for 3-5 minutes.

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.
