Stain & Finishing Oil is a wood conditioner, stain and top coat all-in-one that offers exceptional durability in high-traffic areas like table tops, kitchen cabinets, and even flooring.
It can be used on bare wood or over previously painted surfaces. No additional top coat is required - it is highly durable as is. If you're looking for added durability, applying a coat of Natural will increase sheen and durability without intensifying your colour.
If you apply it over Fusion Mineral Paint™ for a glaze effect or to increase the sheen, we recommend removing excess right away, as the SFO will not soak in and may leave a sticky finish that takes a few days to dry.
Use the Natural colour over Fusion Mineral Paint™ colours to increase the sheen and offer superior durability, or brush on one of the pigmented colours and wipe off immediately for a beautiful, easy glaze effect.
Our special blend is highly concentrated in pigment, so a little goes a long way. The 237 mL container will cover the same area as 1 litre of comparable stains.
Please keep in mind that all oil-based products typically yellow in time. Using this over top of a white paint will cause a slight yellowing effect. We recommend our Tough Coat for going over lighter colours to avoid yellowing.

How To Use on Bare Wood: pour or brush onto the evenly sanded surface, remove excess after 15-20 minutes. If desired, add a second coat after re-coat time for a deeper colour or more sheen. The pigment in it stains your wood accentuating the grain. SFO is a combination of natural oils and resins that penetrate into wood fibres to create a durable, scratch-resistant, waterproof finish. It does not leave a surface film that sits on top but instead soaks into and becomes a part of your wood.
If applying over Fusion Mineral Paint, remove excess immediately.
