PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Proper surface preparation is important. All surfaces must be clean and dry, and free of any dirt, oil, grease, wax, polish, and any other contaminants. Remove any existing finishes with sandpaper or stripper. Prepare bare wood for staining by sanding in the direction of the grain. Begin with #150 grit sandpaper and progress through #180, #220 and #320 grits. Before using product, remove all sanding dust and dirt with a vacuum and grease or glue with a clean rag dampened with mineral spirits.
SPRAYING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area such as an open garage. Avoid spraying in very windy, dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
TESTING COLOR
Be sure to test the Stain & Polyurethane to verify the desired color. To test, apply in an inconspicuous area. For a deeper color, additional coats may be applied.

Lightly sand between coats with #320 grit sandpaper. REMOVE ALL SANDING DUST BEFORE APPLYING ADDITIONAL COATS.
