Troubleshooting
Uneven application or streaks appear after application.
Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared, and apply the woodstain evenly, following the wood grain. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
The woodstain is not drying properly.
Ensure adequate ventilation and that the temperature is within the recommended range. Check for any moisture on the wood surface before application.
Color is not as expected.
Test the woodstain on a hidden area of the wood to check the color match. Wood type affects final color.
