Fiddes Naphtha Oil Stain is an oil based dye that should be applied to bare timber before sealing with Fiddes Shellac Sealer or a shellac polish. It absorbs thoroughly to produce a deep rich colour whilst highlighting the grain. 

Naphtha Oil Stain dries more slowly than other spirit based dyes, which allows for better flexibility if colour matching or applying over a large surface area.  This makes it a favourite with antique restorers and cabinet makers.  

Preparation:  Sand the wood in stages, starting with a P120 grit abrasive through to P180/240, working in the direction of the grain if possible.  Remove all traces of dust with a tack cloth and then test the chosen colour on a similar substrate to confirm the shade that will be achieved.

Stir thoroughly and apply with a lint free cloth or sponge in the direction of the wood grain where possible.  Immediately wipe away any excess with a clean absorbent cloth, again following the grain.  Wipe evenly to obtain a uniform colour.  One coat is usually sufficient but further coats can be applied if you wish to deepen the colour.  There is no need to sand between coats.

Colours available:  Light Oak, Medium Oak, Dark Oak, Golden Oak, New Brown Mahogany, Old Brown Mahogany, Walnut
