OLI-AQUA STAIN EASY MIX

 Surface preparation: 

• The surface must be dry, thoroughly cleaned, and free of oil, wax, grease, silicon and sanding dust.
• Graduated wooden sanding with grit size 150/180. The finer the sanding, the lesser the wood roughens.

Use:

Spray application without brushing:

Preferably applicable to fine-pored hardwoods such as beech, maple, cherry wood or absorbent softwoods such as pine and spruce.

• Spray evenly and crosswise with a cup gun (1.2 - 1.5 mm nozzle, about 2 bar spray pressure) moist, not wet. Do not brush away the surplus. Thin repeated spraying results in a particularly uniform stain pattern.

Spraying with brushing:

Preferably applicable to coarse-grained hardwoods and softwoods such as oak, ash, maple, mahogany.

• In one go, spray full with a cup gun (1.5 - 2.0 mm nozzle, 2 bar spray pressure). Leave stain surplus for 1-2 minutes and then brush cross then lengthwise to the wood grain with a broad application brush. Wipe brush regularly into a cloth to remove the absorbed stain surplus. The result is a rustic stain pattern.

Application with a brush:

Apply stain evenly, richly and quickly from one edge to the other with a flat stain brush first lengthwise, then cross and again lengthwise to the wood grain. Leave stain surplus 1 - 2 minutes and then paint over with a broad application brush lengthwise to the wood grain. Wipe brush regularly into a cloth to remove the absorbed stain surplus.

Drying times:

Recoatable: 5-6 hours.

Setup recommendations:

Wood surfaces treated with OLI-AQUA STAIN EASY MIX can be painted over after 5-6 hours with all OLI-AQUA water-based paints and OLI-CRYL solvent-based paints. OLI-AQUA water-based paints should mainly be sprayed and not applied with roll and brush processing methods because, otherwise, water stains might refloat and thus the colour will be smudged.
