Warning:
The above colors are applied on pine and are intended to approximate the final color. The color and the gloss obtained will vary according to the type, texture and the absorbency of the wood. Film thickness and the number of coats applied will also affect the end result. To see the final color, it is recommended to apply the coating on the wood to be actually used.

Tips
- To avoid brush strokes, make small areas of application and finish the application in the edging of wood. In addition, always brush in the direction of a non-stained area and then return to the stained surface by taking the excess stain.
- Apply in the direction of wood grains to obtain a homogeneous appearance.
- Always start painting at the top of the wood.
- To prevent the glass, hinge, lock, door handle, and other accessories from painting, cover them with masking tape before starting the application.
- For good protection, make sure the entire surface of the wood is well stained. Do not forget to apply head parts to the upper and lower edges of the doors and under the window sills.
- Make sure that the edge corners of the wood you are applying will be chamfered (rounded) and no sharp corners. You cannot provide adequate protection to these sharp corners as you cannot apply enough of the product for film-forming
