These high-performance, concentrated wood tints are designed to penetrate deep into the wood grain, enhancing its natural pattern while adding vibrant, transparent color.

How to Apply Asian Paints WoodTech Wood Stains

Staining requires technique to avoid blotches. Follow this process:

1. Surface Preparation: Sand the raw wood with 180-grit sandpaper. It must be perfectly clean and dry.
2. Direct Application (Staining): Apply Asian Paints WoodTech Wood Stains directly onto the bare wood using a lint-free cotton cloth or spray gun. Wipe off excess immediately to control the darkness. Read tips on applying wood stain evenly.
3. Tinting Method: Alternatively, mix the stain (up to 5-10%) into your NC Sanding Sealer or varnish to create a toner coat. This is safer for avoiding blotches on softwoods.
4. Sealing: Allow the stain to dry for 30 minutes. Seal it immediately with a sanding sealer to lock in the color before applying the topcoat.
