Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish
Ensure the stain was stirred thoroughly before application. Apply thin, even coats, avoiding over-application. Check that the wood surface was properly prepared and dry.
Wood is not drying properly
Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not apply if rain is expected before the stain is fully dry.
Peeling or flaking after application
This typically occurs if the surface was not properly prepared, or if an incompatible product was used previously. Ensure the wood is clean and dry, and that no old, incompatible coatings remain. For susceptible woods, ensure the WR Base Coat was applied correctly.
Water is still penetrating the wood
Ensure two coats have been applied and allowed to cure properly. Check for any missed spots or areas where the coating may have been compromised. For highly absorbent woods, ensure proper pre-treatment with the WR Base Coat.
