FAQs Frequently Asked Questions
Most stain manufacturers recommend a one-coat application. Applying additional coats will detract from the intended transparency of the stain and will tend to hide the natural beauty of the wood. Always follow label instructions. For a decking application such as your pressure treated deck skirt, Cabot manufactures clear, semi-transparent, and solid color stains that will beautify and protect your wood surface.

How many coats of varnish do I need to apply?

FAQ's: Paint
The best type of environment for applying varnish is one that is not too humid and is about 70 to 75 degrees. To protect against debris from getting into the finished piece, the room should be free from dust. You might even consider mopping the room or covering the floor with paper. Make sure that the surface to be varnished is clean, dry and free of any finishes. Try to have the piece horizontal. In addition, to mix the varnish, stir it.

How do I apply Stain Solver to a wood deck?

Stain Solver - Frequently Asked Questions
I prefer to use a large brush or a mop. You want to get large amounts of Stain Solver liquid on the deck surface. Hand pump sprayers often apply too little solution to the surface. If you must use a sprayer, make sure the product has dissolved completely or you will clog the nozzle! Also, be sure you spray on lots of liquid.

When can I apply subsequent coats of KLASS KOTE?

FAQ - KLASS KOTE
The best time to recoat epoxy is within 48 hours after the initial coat. Because epoxies take days to reach a full cure, a second coat applied shortly after the first will partially fuse to the first coat rather than forming a simple mechanical bond. You will also eliminate the need to sand between coats if you reapply within a short amount of time. Refer to the Data Sheets page under the section Cure Schedule.

If is OK to apply two coats of Cetol SRD to my home?

Sikkens: Simply Beautiful Woodcare Products For Your Wood Ho...
Cetol SRD is a single coat system. However, if the first coat does not have an even appearance (around knot areas, etc.) lightly reapply while still wet. We do not recommend either system over Cetol SRD. To apply the Cetol1 and Cetol 23 Plus or Cetol Log & Siding system, we recommend letting the Cetol SRD weather for a few years and then use the cleaning/power washing procedure to get the surface back to bare wood. Then you may begin with either system.

Thanks guys. How long does it take until the paint dries and how many coats do I have to apply?

The Sydney Cichlid Page - Forum FAQ
Yes, you don't need to buy the pricey background pics, I just use plain black mostly. Painting the back is good, however it's fairly permanent.... On my display tank i used a kitchen sponge to put on some blue paint and when that was dried i coverd that with black so when you look from the front of the tank is is mainly blue with black texturing through it, looks cool and breaks up the colour a bit.
