.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Previously Stained Wood Surfaces - Remove any
existing coatings using sandpaper or stripper. Prepare
bare wood for staining by sanding in the direction of the
grain. Begin with #120 grit sandpaper and progress
through #150, #180 and #220 grits. Remove all sanding
dust with a vacuum or clean rag dampened with mineral
spirits. Soft woods such as pine, fir and maple require a
wood conditioner. Use Varathane Premium Wood
Conditioner before staining.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to

be handled in 1 hour. Dry times may be affected by
temperature, humidity and ventilation.
