How to apply
- Remove dirt, oil and grease with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Scrape and sand off loose coatings and vacuum the dust. Protect the area with a solvent-resistant drop cloth.
- Wear goggles and chemical-resistant gloves. Saturate the area with Solution A using a new sponge. Let it stand 5 minutes on soft woods or 10 minutes on hard woods.
- While the surface is still wet, apply Solution B over Solution A with another sponge. Let it stand overnight to dry.
- Sand lightly to remove residue. Repeat the process if you want a lighter shade.
