Questions and Answers

Why does the stain look darker on my wood compared to the internet colour swatch?

The colour swatches on display are a guide only. The actual colour will depend on what wood you are staining, how many coats you apply and how well it has been sanded and prepped. The courser the sanding will lead to darker shades, we always recommend to finish on at least 120 – 150 grit or finer. If you sand with a course sanding paper, this will open the grain of the wood and the stain will penetrate too deep, leading to darker tones and possibly raising the grain. Always follow the manufacturers guidance and always test in a small inconspicuous area before use.
