Sadolin Interior Stain 750ml

Sadolin Interior Stain is suitable for use on all interior wood and trim, including skirting boards, window sills, panelling, shelving, banisters and more. Enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Contains UV filters to minimise colour fade. Does not require over-coating.

Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 14% prior to coating.

Bare or New Timber

1. Lightly abrade along the wood grain using a suitable abrasive paper, taking care not to damage or scratch the timber surface
2. Remove any sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner
3. Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper
4. Remove any remaining residues and degrease any exposed bare timber surface by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth, dampened with methylated spirits, frequently changing the face of the cloth
5. Allow solvent to fully evaporate before over-coating
6. Knotting agents should not be used with Sadolin woodstain systems
7. Sadolin Wood Filler or Sadolin Stainable Wood Filler can be used for making good any minor surface defects, imperfections and open joints
8. Only use non-ferrous screws, nails and fixings

Previously Treated Timber

Sadolin Interior Stain is not suitable for use on surfaces where higher build finishes such as varnish and wood stains have been previously used. In such cases, all previous coatings should be removed completely and the surfaces treated as 'New Timber'.

Always do a small test area to assess consistency and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply when air / substrate temperatures are below 8°C or above 25°C, or if the relative humidity is above 80% during application or drying periods. Protect from water until dry. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and durability of the finish.

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, otherwise sheen may be affected and colour variations may be experienced. Sadolin Interior Stain is supplied ready for use and does not require thinning. However, on particularly porous surfaces, large surfaces, and panelled doors, in order to aid application the first coat may be thinned up to 50% with clean water.

1. For best results, use a good quality synthetic fibre bristle brush specifically designed for the application of waterborne products
2. Apply 1 or more full coats (depending on the depth of colour required), following the direction of the wood grain, ensuring all surfaces and end grains are fully coated
3. Avoid over brushing as this will cause brush marks and result in a poor quality finish
4. Allow 2-4 hours drying time between coats

Please Note: Water-borne products can often lead to raised grain on some timber surfaces causing them to feel rough to the touch. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of 'grain raising' by wiping the timber surface with a damp, lint-free cloth, allowing to dry and 'de-nibbing' the surface prior to the application of the first coat of Sadolin Interior Stain.

1. Denib using a fine grade nylon abrasive pad or a fine grade (P240 or finer) wet or dry silicone carbide abrasive paper in the direction of the grain
2. Do not break through the surface coating
3. Remove any sanding dust
4. All subsequent coatings should be applied as soon as possible after the previous coat has fully dried

Cleaning Equipment

Clean brushes and equipment with warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water immediately after use. If spilled, Sadolin Interior Stain should be removed immediately while still wet, using clean water.

Maintenance

1. Remove any defective coatings
2. Organic growths must be removed and infected surfaces should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution
3. Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent, then rinsed thoroughly with clean water
4. Allow to fully dry
5. Lightly abrade with a fine grade (P240 or finer) wet or dry silicone carbide or similar abrasive paper in the direction of the grain
6. Remove any sanding dust
7. Any bare timber should be patch primed with one coat of Sadolin Interior Stain in a similar shade to the existing colour
8. Bring forward with additional coats as required in order to achieve an even, uniform colour
