    Description Craft Stain is a tinted, full-bodied, fast drying stain, ideal for craft projects. Incorporating a top coat resin, the stain has a pleasant sheen and can be applied without needing a varnish top coat. Available in several pre-mixed colors.
    Preparation Good surface preparation is vital for the perfect finish. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from any dirt, dust, grease, glue, flaking pieces, or contaminants. Repair any cracks, holes, or imperfections. Sand the wood in the direction of the grain to obtain a smooth uniform surface. First, use a medium-grade sandpaper (#120) working your way to fine-grade sandpaper (#220). Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove all sanding dust, and let dry thoroughly before applying the stain. Always spot test on an inconspicuous area to ensure satisfactory results and color.
    Application and Clean Up Stir thoroughly before and during use to eliminate any settling. Do not shake. Do not thin. Do not apply in temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Dries to the touch in 30 to 60 minutes. Recommended wait time between coats is up to one hour. Two coats are recommended for a good even finish. High humidity and cool temperatures may result in longer dry and recoat times. Clean application tools with warm soapy water. Apply stain in the direction of the wood grain using a clean, lint-free cloth, high-quality synthetic bristle brush, or a foam brush. Maintain a wet edge. Allow the stain to penetrate for no more than three minutes. Once the stain has been applied go over the same section with a clean lint-free cloth to remove any excess stain for an even color tone, wiping in the direction of the grain with even pressure. Do not allow stain that has not penetrated the wood to dry on the surface. Any uneven color penetration can be blended. Rewet the surface with more stain and lightly rub the stain into the surface, blending light and dark areas. To darken the color, apply additional coats, repeating the directions for application of the first coat. Do not sand between coats. When staining a large area (like a floor) it is often better to first divide the floor into smaller areas (with painters' tape) and then stain each one in sequence. (i) Tape off a workable area of the floor, laying the painters' tape along the straight edge of a line of the wood boards. (ii) Stain the first segment (iii) Lift the painters' tape at the edge of the stained area and use it to cover the edge of the area that has just been stained. (iv) Tape off a second workable area of the floor. (v) Stain the second area and repeat. In this way, previously stained areas will not be lapped by subsequent stain applications.
    Maintenance To clean surfaces we recommend using warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive or harsh chemicals such as ammonia, vinegar, powdered all-purpose cleaners, Endust, Pledge, Murphy’s Oil Soap, any type of wax, or silicone based products.
