COMPLETE THE SYSTEM

From test board to protected finish.

Build color deliberately, then select the protection and maintenance system that preserves it.

Professional wood finishing

Specify the whole system.

The final result depends on the wood, preparation, application, and compatible finishing system. Remove uncertainty before the full project.

  1. 01

    Test the actual wood

    Species, tannin content, grain, and sanding can materially change color and absorption.

  2. 02

    Calculate the system

    Confirm coverage, number of coats, hardener ratio, tools, and site conditions before ordering.

  3. 03

    Follow technical data

    Use the current preparation, application, drying, and maintenance instructions for the selected product.

Product field guide

Open each relevant step for product-specific preparation, application, finishing and long-term care. Only applicable stages are shown.

Preparation

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

Application

Stir and shake well before and during use.
Aquastain must be evenly applied with a roller or brush in the direction of the woodgrain. After +/- 2 minutes, remove the excess with a lint-free cloth.
After the Aquastain has dried, it must be protected with a product of the Ciranova® range such as Hardwaxoil Magic, UN1CO, Fortico. For more information, you can consult the relevant technical data sheets. When using a waterborne finish it is recommended to intermediately sand before applying the last protective layer.
