Professional wood color system

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.

Reaction timeApproximately 12 hours; allow the full reaction before finishing
Pot lifeApproximately 4 weeks after mixing

Coverage is approximate for one coat and varies with wood and application. Test the complete system on your actual wood. Drying and reaction times depend on site conditions.

Two-part color system

Mix deliberately. Let the wood respond.

Aquavintage 2C pairs a color component with its activator to create a weathered, grain-led result on a broad range of wood species.

Why Aquavintage 2C

Reactive water-based aging stain to easily and quickly give the wood a weathered look. Can also be used on wood that does not contain tannin.

» Positive stain that accentuates the wood grain.

» Provides depth and a unique texture to the wood.

» Also usable on wood types that do not contain tannin.

Prepare

Start with clean, bare wood.

Remove previous finish coats and all dust or contamination. Use on sanded, planed or brushed wood. Pre-wetting can help reduce overlap marks.

Mix + apply

Combine equal parts A and B.

Mix Color A with Activator B at a 1:1 ratio and stir thoroughly. Apply evenly by spray, roller or brush, then level with a brush or mop.

Reveal + protect

Let the reaction develop.

After the full reaction time, buff the surface and remove all dust. Protect the result with a compatible Ciranova oil, or request guidance before specifying a waterborne finish.
