Troubleshooting

The stain isn't covering the wood evenly.

Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared by cleaning and sanding. Apply the stain evenly, following the grain of the wood, and avoid applying too much at once.

The stain is taking a long time to dry.

Check the weather conditions; the stain dries quicker in warm, dry weather. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid applying the stain in humid conditions. Make sure the coat is thin.

The colour is not as expected.

Ensure the stain is stirred thoroughly before use. Apply the correct number of coats. The colour may also vary depending on the type and condition of the wood.

The stain is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry and sanded). Make sure the product is compatible with the wood. Excessive coats can also lead to this issue.
