Painting instructions for Uula Sauna Stain

Stir Uula Sauna Stain thoroughly before and during use. Reserve and mix enough stain for a large surface in order to avoid potential colour variations in different batches. Paint a test patch to ensure the colour is correct and to find the desired level of opacity. The paint attains its true colour once fully dry. Use paint generously, as a dry brush can cause uneven texture and gloss. Paint one board or log at a time. Protect surfaces not to be treated with adhesive tape, paper, cardboard or protective film.

We recommend a varnish brush or a smooth finish paint brush. The surface to be painted must be dry, the relative air humidity below 80 % and the temperature at least +10°C.

Preparation: Remove dust from the surface to be treated. Wash dirty surfaces with Uula Paint Wash following the instructions and allow to dry thoroughly before treatment.

Clear treatment: Treat the surface with clear wood stain 1–3 times. Sand the surface between treatments and remove dust.

Coloured treatment: Treat the surface with tinted wood stain 1–2 times to the desired opacity. To enhance durability treat the surface 1–2 times with clear wood stain.

Drying time: Touch dry in approx. 30 minutes and ready for a re-coat after 2 hours.

Drying of sauna benches: We recommend a week of drying time before exposure to any water. The product reaches full durability in one month, during which it is advisable to cover the seating when used.
