Adequate ventilation is an ideal situation as it helps in drying and the good application itself. Avoid high humid conditions i.e., 95% when condensation is likely to interfere and also when the surface temperature is at least 3c above dew point.

Application: One can apply the product either with curtain coater or with spray gun. To be done by Airless spray 3-4 kg/cm2 (1500-2000 psi). Nozzle size: 1.8 to 2.0 mm or conventional spray at 50 60 psi. give good importance to inter coating intervals.
In case of hand application dip in the corresponding stain with a suitable tool, like brush, rag and apply uniformly and wipe of the excess runs.
One can add maximum 15% of water or Acetone or mix of both for ease of application depending on the suitability of application or the material to be applied like shape and size.
The universal stain colour can be varnished with clear coat of PU or NC products. In case of polyester based paints it can be use applied after a suitable sealant is applied.
Caution: Over diluting would result in a sag and run downs.
