How to prepare new timber:

1. Sand to a smooth surface and remove all sanding dust before coating.

2. To achieve a super-smooth finish, or if the timber grain is open or coarse, apply a coat of Feast Watson Sanding Sealer and sand back as per the label instructions.

3. For naturally oily timbers, seal the timber with Feast Watson Proofseal™ as per the label instructions prior to application.

How to prepare previously coated timber:

1. Previously varnished surfaces need to be sanded to a dull finish.

2. Remember to remove all sanding dust before coating.

1. Make sure you love your colour! Using an off-cut, test the colour to ensure you are happy with your choice.

2. Make sure the Stain and Varnish is thoroughly stirred through before beginning and during application. Avoid introducing any bubbles!

1. Apply Stain & Varnish using a brush, roller or spray. Spray: If spraying Stain & Varnish may be thinned by using 10% mineral turpentine. If applying by spray, three coats are required. Roller: If applying by roller, use a short nap (5mm) mohair roller. Ensure edges and end grain are fully coated.

2. If applying over a previous varnish coating, two coats will be sufficient. If applying to new timber, three coats are needed.

3. Achieved your colour after one coat? No worries. Just complete the following coats with Feast Watson Clear Varnish as additional coats of Stain & Varnish will intensify colour.

4. Provide 12 hours drying time between coats.

5. Remember to sand lightly between coats with a fine sandpaper to get the best results.
