General Finishes Dye Stain 3.78L

Description

Water-based Dye Stains penetrate deep into the wood to beautifully magnify the grain. They will provide your project with more depth and color vibrancy than any other wood stain. This product is excellent for highly figured woods like mahogany, walnut or maple. Dye stains can also be used as a toner when mixed with “Water Based Topcoats“

How to Prep Sand Raw Wood. Sand open-grain wood (e.g., oak, ash, mahogany, parawood) with 180-grit sandpaper followed by 220-grit sandpaper Remove dust with a water-dampened rag or oil-free tack cloth Do not over-sand with fine-grit sandpapers; this will close and seal the wood grain, preventing ideal color absorption. Do NOT use steel wool with water-based finishes; the particles will get trapped in the finish and rust. To reduce grain raise, dampen the wood with water after prep sanding. Let dry completely, then lightly sand with fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad or 400-grit sandpaper.
