3.Apply stain with a cloth in a circular motion to one section at a time.

4.Wait 5-10 minutes before brushing, depending on the desire for a lighter or darker shade.

5.Brush with the natural bristle brush in the direction of the grain to “feather” or blend the stain to a rich wood look. Clean brush tips frequently with a dry cloth to remove excess stain. Stain and brush out each section completely before moving onto next section.

6.Allow a minimum of 48 hours drying time for the stain to cure before applying topcoat.

REPAINTING PROCEDURE

1.Sand the surface to be re-coated with 180 grit sandpaper to abrade and make porous.

2.Remove all sanding dust from the surface. This can be accomplished by using a damp cloth.

3.Optional: Wipe the surface with a solvent paint deglosser applied with a clean cloth followed by a final wipe with an additional clean cloth to ensure the surface is free of any contaminates.

4.Apply Sherwin Williams DTM TM Bonding Primer part # B66A50 to the surface and let the coating dry, following the directions provided on the label located on the back of the can.

5.Topcoat the Sherwin Williams DTM TM Bonding Primer with a high quality acrylic latex coating such as Sherwin Williams SuperPaint TM A84 Series or Sherwin Williams DTM TM Acrylic Coating B66 Series.
