Sand wood smooth, repair defects and remove dust with a tack rag or lint-free cloth dampened with mineral spirits. Scuff sand an existing finish and remove dust. Follow lead-dust precautions before disturbing old paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir to a uniform consistency. On bare wood, apply liberally with a brush or soft rag, then remove excess along the grain. On fiberglass or composition, work one panel at a time with a firm synthetic brush or lint-free rag, feathering streaks while wet and wiping excess from the brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet dry about six to eight hours; apply an optional second coat after at least eight hours and only when dry. Ideal conditions are 70–75°F and 35–50% humidity. Temperature, humidity, airflow and excess stain can delay drying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a compatible clear finish, testing the full process first. The February 2025 TDS directs complete stain drying followed by an additional 24 hours before a water-based finish. Test lacquer compatibility.
