| Application |
| |
- Blue River Coatings Semi-Transparent Wood Stain is manufactured in concentrate form. Prior to application, reduce the concentrate with water. Recommended reduction rate is 2:1 by volume with water (2 parts water with 1 part stain concentrate). Application can be accomplished with other dilution rates such as 1:1 or 3:1. The use of a different reduction rate is determined by the applicator and can change the overall appearance and color. For lighter colors use a 3:1 ratio and for more intense colors use a 1:1.
- Make sure wood surface is clean of all dirt and loose debris. If surface is new wood, make sure the wood has aged 1-3 months and that any mill glaze has been removed prior to application.
- Blue River Coatings Wood Stain is a semi-transparent wood stain and should be applied to bare wood. If the surface has been coated previously, use a commercially available, waterbased deck/fence stripper to strip off the old coating prior to application.
- If the surface is weathered and gray, use a commercially available, waterbased deck/fence cleaner and brightener prior to application.
- Prior to application, test the wood surface to make sure that the surface will allow the stain to penetrate. Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the wood surface to be stained. If the water is absorbed into the cleaned surface within a few minutes, the surface is ready to be stained. If the water does not penetrate, the surface will have to be cleaned or stripped.
- Cover any area that will not be stained such as sidewalks, siding, doors, windows, plants and shrubs with a tarp or drop cloth. Blue River Coatings Semi-Transparent waterbase stain will not harm plants or foliage.
- Mix or agitate product thoroughly prior to and during application to ensure uniform color dispersion in the container. If more than 1 container is used during the application, mix each container together to ensure uniform color is attained for the entire application.
- Using a brush, roller (9 inch with ?" or ¾" nap length), stain pad, garden sprayer, or lint free towel, apply one coat of Blue River Coatings Semi-Transparent wood stain. Backbrush for better color uniformity. Make sure the stain is applied between boards (decks and fencing) to include all cracks and exposed end grain. Always wear proper protective equipment to include gloves and eye protection.
- If the wood is dry and absorbs the first coat rapidly, apply a second application while the wood is still wet from the first application (wet on wet).
- Wipe up or brush out any puddles to insure color uniformity and sheen.
- Allow surface to dry for 24 hours before subjecting the surface to light foot traffic.
- Clean up with warm water and soap.
