Product Description

Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner

Achieve professional results with our water-based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner. Always use before using a water-based Wood Stain. Application will result in a more even finish and will help to prevent the stain forming darker patches or streaks.

Every piece of wood is different, depending on the grain and knots, and it will therefore soak up moisture inconsistently. A Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner will seal the wood giving it a more consistent finish on top of which the wood stain can then be applied.

As the conditioner is water-based, it is easy to clean any brushes or cloths with soap and water. It is also low odour and non-toxic.

Always match a water-based conditioner with the same brand of water-based stain, to ensure compatibility. For interior and exterior use. Apply prior to using our Wood Stain or Exterior Wood Stain.

Treating the wood with a conditioner will not change the colour of the wood, but it means that the stain will dry slightly lighter once applied as less stain will soak into the more absorbent areas of the wood. However, if you like the natural, unfinished look, then you can also stain pine and other softwoods directly, without the need for the conditioner.

Our Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner can be used on any softwoods including pine, fir and spruce. It can also be used on porous hardwoods such as birch, maple and alder to help the stain soak in and colour the wood more evenly.

The benefits:

  • Ensures a more uniform absorption of wood stain
  • Reduces blotching and spotting
  • Designed for softwoods like pine
  • Water-based
  • Low odour and non-toxic
