Old Masters, Wiping Stain, Espresso, 1/2 Pint

Where to Use: Wiping Stain can be used on a variety of surfaces, including unfinished wood, previously finished surfaces, fiberglass, coated metal, and composition surfaces. Especially recommended for woods such as pine, birch, maple, poplar, and cherry. Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, wax, grease, glue, and other contaminants or penetration and adhesion will be affected. Wood surfaces must be sanded smooth. Remove dust with a tack rag or a lint-free cloth dampened with mineral spirits. Surface defects should be repaired with an appropriate patching material. Application: Stir thoroughly before and during application for even distribution of color. Stain application varies based on surface material. Always test stain in an inconspicuous area. See TDS for more specific details. Drying Time: Approximately 10 hours, depending on humidity, temperature, and air movement. Dry times may also be extended due to excess stain application or lack of stain penetration. Wiping Stain can be top coated after 12 hours, but stain must be thoroughly dry. When used on hardwood floors, allow 24 hours or longer depending on surface and drying conditions. Ideal drying conditions recommended are 70° to 75°F and 35 to 50% humidity. ** Due to the nature and depth of color for the stain color Carbon Black, the minimum dry time is 24 hours. Dry time may also be extended due to excess stain application or lack of stain penetration.
