NAME:
WATER BASED SPRAY STAIN
DESCRIPTION:
ELSSB100 is a water based spray stain that provides even tones in an easy to apply format over a variety of wood substrates. ELSSB100 offers minimum grain raising in a VOC friendly environment. This spray stain is well suited to fast paced production environments where colour reproducibility is key.
USES:
This product is designed for interior wood finishing applications such as cabinetry, tables, furniture and millwork.
SANDING:
Substrate should be sanded with 180 grit sandpaper prior to applying any stains.
Depending on the type of wood substrate you are using it may be recommended to sand even finer than 180 grit. The finer grades of sandpaper will allow for a more uniform, less blotchy finish although the colour of the stain will also be slightly lighter. Please consult your Performance Finishing Solutions technical sales representative for raw wood sanding advice when using waterborne stains.
PRODUCT PREPARATION:
This product should be used as supplied and tinted with the 896- water based pigment line or with the Envirolak line of dyes.
