Product details

Preparation

Make sure that all old finish coats are completely removed and that the floor is free from dust and other dirt. Can be used on sanded, planned and brushed wood. Pre-wetting the wood can reduce the risk of overlapping.

Application

Mix the PINK BLOCKER CLEAR with the PINK BLOCKER STAIN in a ratio of 1/1. Apply the product evenly with sprayer, roller or brush and then even out with a brush, T-bar or mop.

Pink Blocker can “pop” the grain so it is suggested that you smoothen the surface after the full reaction time with a buffing pad. Afterwards, the surface should be made dust free, prior to finishing with an oil or waterborne finish from the Ciranova® range. Please contact Ciranova® Technical Support for information about using a waterborne finish.

Afterwards

A stain can be applied afterward, and a finish on top.

This product is not a finish, it needs to be protected, with a Ciranova finish product.

FAQs

Is Pink Blocker the same as a red blocker?

Yes. Pink Blocker is designed to counteract the red/pink undertones in woods like Red Oak, so the two terms refer to the same product.

What is Pink Blocker 2C?

Pink Blocker 2C is a professional wood pre-treatment designed to reduce the pink, red, and salmon undertones commonly found in red oak. It creates a more neutral base before applying the final wood finish.

Can Pink Blocker 2C make red oak look like white oak?

Pink Blocker 2C can help red oak look much closer to white oak by neutralizing its natural pink and red tones. It does not change the wood species or grain, but it makes a white oak-style finish much easier to achieve.

Can I apply a finish over Pink Blocker 2C?

Yes. Pink Blocker 2C must be followed with a compatible protective finish. It can be used before recommended Ciranova systems such as Magic Oil, Titan, or other compatible finishes depending on the desired look and performance.

Should I test Pink Blocker 2C before using it on the whole floor?

Yes. Always make a sample on the actual red oak using the same sanding sequence, Pink Blocker 2C application, and final finish. Red oak varies, and testing is the best way to confirm the final color.

What is the best way to make red oak less pink?

The best way is to sand the floor properly, apply Pink Blocker 2C to neutralize the red/pink undertone, and then finish with a compatible oil or coating system. This helps create a cleaner natural, white oak, or neutral oak look.
