Ciranova Reactive Stain

Ciranova Reactive Stain is a reactive ageing stain based on natural and reactive colourants. Reactive stains are especially designed for the ageing of wood containing tannin such as oak. Reactive stains react with the tannin in the wood and give the wood a unique aged finish. After reaction time, the reactive stain should be finished with oil or waterborne finishes.

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.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

1. Stir and shake well before and during use
2. Apply reactive evenly stain in the direction of the wood fibre, even out afterwards
3. Reactive stain can be applied using a foam brush, synthetic brush or spray gun and subsequently smoothened with a brush or mop

Please Note: Make sure that the stain is evenly applied, respect the reaction time because surrounding temperature, atmospheric humidity and ventilation can influence the reaction time.
