Sand and clean wood surface
Surface should be free of finish wax or contaminates. Sand surface with 280 grit sandpaper. Always sand in the direction of the grain so as not to damage the wood surface.

Remove excess DIY “Gelled” Stain
Wipe off excess immediately with dry cloth. Wipe from one end to another end in the direction of the wood grain to obtain a smooth and evenly distributed finish.

Fill wood joints, crack and holes
Choose similar or nearest wood putty colour. Apply with putty knife or scraper. Press firmly into place. Sand over affected area.

Apply sanding sealer
Brush or spray two coats of WOOD-KARE CRYSTAL ACRYLIC LACQUER (SAN-DING SEALER). Sand between coats with 320 grit sandpaper.

Rub stain and wipe clean
Rub DIY “Gelled” Stain with lint free cloth or sponge. Spread as far as possible to fill in the wood pores evenly. If stain is too thick, dilute with mineral spirit or turpentine liquid. One coat will be sufficient.
