For Interior & Exterior Use The stain is truly clear, so it's not a good choice if you're trying to cover up any imperfections in the wood planks. Like most wood stains it can easily be applied by brush and also by roller, sprayer or paint pad. For best results apply at least two coats, the first will act as a primer and may soak into the timber unevenly depending on the porosity and any previous coatings present, the second coat evens everything up to a lush deep green.

You can't apply this stain over existing stain; you'll have to strip any existing stain first.

You'll also need to think about the type of wood. Softer, inexpensive woods are often best treated with solid or semi-solid stains, for purely practical reasons.
