FAQ

Can I use this spray on exterior wood?

This product is formulated for interior use only. For exterior projects, choose a stain specifically rated for outdoor exposure.

Do I need to sand between coats?

No additional sanding is required between the stain and polyurethane layers because they are combined in one formula. Light sanding is only needed before the first application if the surface is rough.

Is the spray compatible with pre‑finished wood?

For best results, apply to bare or sanded wood. On pre‑finished surfaces, the spray may not adhere properly and could lift existing finishes.

How many coats are recommended?

One even coat usually provides sufficient coverage. For darker tones or higher durability, apply a second light coat after the first has dried.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Use in a well‑ventilated area, wear protective gloves and a mask, and keep away from open flames. Store the can upright in a cool, dry place when not in use.
