A. Wood Stain is designed to penetrate into the wood and so the longer you leave it on the more it will soak in and the darker the wood will become. Wood can also only absorb so much stain before it becomes saturated and so any excess would then dry on the surface. This is why we recommend wiping the stain off after one or two minutes.
If you are unsure of the wood stain colour, test it on an unseen area first. The stain can be applied with either a cloth, bristle brush, or for best results a Foam Brush.

If so, remove any old coatings using a Paint & Varnish Remover first. These coatings will prevent the Wood Stain from soaking into the wood. If the wood has been treated with an oil or wax, wipe the surface down with thinners or mineral spirit to remove this. After removing the old finish, sand smooth with #100 Fine Sanding Pad. After wiping off the excess Wood Stain, you’ll need to wait for about 10 minutes for the stain to thoroughly dry.
