Product application guide

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.
