How to Stain Your Interior Timber Furniture

  1. Stir thoroughly with a broad flat paddle until pigment is mixed in and colour is uniform. Keep well stirred during use. If using more than one can, mix all cans together into a larger container to ensure colour uniformity.
  2. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. 
  3. Apply three coats depending on the required depth of colour, allowing 2 hours between coats. 
  4. For best results, sand between coats using 240 grit sandpaper. COLOUR STRENGTH If the desired colour is achieved after 1 or 2 coats of Cabot's Stain & Varnish Water Based, use Cabot's Cabothane Clear Water Based to complete the 3 coat system.

Regular inspection of all coated surfaces is recommended. Re-coating is recommended when the coating looks dull or tired.

1. Clean with Cabot's Floor Cleaner following label instructions.

2. Sand with 240 grit sandpaper, remove all traces of sanding dust.
