Dry Time: The Fiddes Light Fast Water Stains have a dry time of approximately 60 minutes at room temperature.
Coverage: The coverage is approximately 16 square meters per liter, depending on the substrate and the method of application.
Coats: One coat is recommended, and further coats can be applied to deepen the color or shade.
Thinners: Water is used as a thinning agent for the stains.
Recommended for Use On: The Fiddes Light Fast Water Stains are suitable for use on fine furniture, doors, floors, cabinet work, and paneling.
Colours: The stains are available in a range of colors including red, blue, orange, yellow, black, green, and brown.
Preparation: Prior to applying the stains, it is important to sand the wooden substrate in stages using medium sandpaper (120 grit) and progressing to a medium/fine grade (180-220 grit). Sand in the direction of the grain pattern to remove blemishes and glue residue. Ensure all sanding dust is removed and test the chosen Fiddes Wood Dye on a similar substrate to verify the desired color or shade.
Application: Apply the stain using a clean, lint-free cotton cloth or sponge, following the direction of the wood grain. Remove any excess stain immediately with a separate absorbent cloth, again following the grain pattern. Apply even pressure to achieve a uniform color by blending the stain over the entire surface area. Allow the stain to dry, and do not sand between coats.

Following these guidelines will help you achieve a consistent and desired result when using Fiddes Light Fast Water Stains.
