Product Information
Full details
Littlefair's Water-Based Wood Stain is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and woodworkers looking to enhance the natural grain of indoor furniture, including doors, chairs, and shelving. This eco-friendly, non-toxic formula provides a deep, character-filled finish that dries quickly and leaves minimal odor; however, it is strictly formulated for application on bare, sanded wood, meaning it will not adhere to surfaces with existing waxes, oils, or varnishes.

FAQs
Can I use this stain on exterior furniture?
This specific variant is designed for indoor use. Please check for product versions specifically marked for exterior applications.
Do I need to sand the wood before applying?
Yes, the wood must be bare and sanded to allow the stain to soak in properly.
How do I clean my brushes?
Simply rinse your brushes under warm water with a bit of mild soap immediately after finishing your work.
Is the stain safe for children's furniture?
It is a non-toxic and low-odor formula, but it is always recommended to seal the stain with a child-safe clear coat for added protection and cleanliness.
Can I mix different colors?
While the colors are formulated to be beautiful on their own, they are water-based and can often be blended to create custom shades.
Troubleshooting
Stain is pooling on the surface and not drying
This usually indicates the wood is already sealed. You must sand the wood back to the raw, bare grain to allow the stain to penetrate.
Uneven or blotchy appearance
Ensure the surface is sanded evenly. If the wood grain is naturally uneven, apply a pre-stain conditioner or apply thin, even coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, you must strip away any old paint, wax, or varnish from your wood surface before application; if the surface is sealed, the stain will sit on top and eventually peel off. Start by sanding the wood to an appropriate grit, usually finishing around 120-180 grit, and ensure all dust is wiped away before staining. Once the stain is dry, consider applying a clear protective topcoat (like a water-based varnish) if the item will see heavy use. Cleanup is simple: rinse your brushes thoroughly in warm, soapy water immediately after application to keep them in good condition.
