Warning!
Removing existing paint from surfaces by means of sanding, scraping, or other mechanical means may create dust or particles containing lead. Avoid creating dust or other debris. BREATHING OR EATING LEAD-CONTAINING DUST OR DEBRIS CAN CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN.

Special properties
Penetrating Oil Stains are used to penetrate and darken the open grain of wood, principally oak. The depth and strength of color can be varied by applying different amounts of stain. Penetrating stains accent varied wood porosity and species.

Where to use
Use on new or properly prepared previously stained woodwork and/or furniture.

Surface preparation
Surface preparation is a key factor in proper finishing. Always sand anything before doing any finishing. Sand with the grain; avoid cutting through veneer. We suggest using fine sandpaper for most jobs; however, if a piece of wood is especially rough, use medium sandpaper first to reduce the labor required. The surface must be clean, and free of dirt, grease, and mildew. Fill holes and cracks with paste wood filler. Topcoat with appropriate Vanguard varnish or lacquer.

Application
Apply only when the air temperature and that of the surface to be stained are above 45 degrees F. Stir thoroughly before using. Dampen a cotton cloth or brush with the stain and wipe stain on to the surface. Wipe stain into all pores making sure that your final wiping motion is with the grain of the wood. For greater color intensity, repeat the process. Allow to dry before proceeding with the topcoat.
