How much is needed

A 2.5L tin is normally sufficient for:
Woodstained wood: 32m² with 2 coats
Bare wood : 20m² with 3 coats

Preparing the surface

Previously stained wood should be lightly sanded and dust removed with a lint free cloth. Surfaces to be stained should be sound, clean and dry. Before surface preparation, read the information about old lead paints. If required treat bare wood with a clear preservative such as Cuprinol Wood Preserver Clear (IP) before applying a Woodstain.

How to apply

Brush evenly along the grain, avoid overlaps. Final colour will depend upon wood type, previous treatment and number of coats applied.

DO NOT STIR OR THIN. The final colour will depend on the wood colour and how thickly the woodstain is applied. Apply 2-3 coats of Cuprinol Total Exterior Woodstain to bare wood and 1-2 coats for redecoration depending on the colour desired and the amount of weathering that has occurred.

Do not apply in extremes of temperature

Drying time

Cuprinol Total Exterior Woodstain will normally be touch dry in 4 hours in good drying conditions. When applying additional coats allow a minimum of 16 hours before re-coating.

Cleaning and storage

After use, remove as much woodstain as possible from brushes before cleaning with white spirit. For best results use Polycell Brush Cleaner. Do not store or use in extreme temperatures and protect from frost.

Always read the pack instructions carefully before use.
