How to Apply Fiddes Light Fast Concentrated Wood Stain

For the best results, the timber must be bare and unfinished before applying the concentrated wood stain.

  1. Prepare the wood: Ensure the timber is bare and free from previous finishes.
  2. Sand the surface: Sand the wood to a smooth texture, working in the direction of the grain.
  3. Remove dust: Thoroughly remove sanding dust and test the stain on a small, inconspicuous area to check that you are happy with the colour.
  4. Apply the stain: Using a clean lint-free cloth, apply the wood stain in the direction of the grain.
  5. Remove excess: Immediately wipe away surplus stain with a clean, absorbent lint-free cloth, again working in the direction of the grain. Wipe evenly to achieve a uniform colour.
  6. Apply further coats if required: One coat is usually sufficient, but additional coats can be applied if a deeper colour is required.

Using Black Concentrated Wood Stain for Ebonising Wood

Ebonising is a traditional wood-finishing technique used to give timber the appearance of black ebony. Fiddes Black Light Fast Concentrated Wood Stain is often used as a base coat when ebonising wood.

It provides a strong black colour and can form part of a traditional ebonising process. The final appearance will depend on the timber, preparation and finishing products used.
