Can I apply a second coat of stain to make it look darker?
Can I mix stain colors? Yes, as long as you are mixing Therma-Tru stain with Therma-Tru stain. The stain can be tinted with any “universal” tint to achieve a certain color. How do I clean the brush? After staining, use the mineral spirits. After top coating, use soap and water. How long does it take the topcoat to dry? 3-4 hours. It takes a least one-week to totally cure, but it is dry to the touch in 3-4 hours. How can I get a “high” gloss finish? You can apply 3-5 coats of the Benchmark by Therma-Tru topcoat to achieve a “high” gloss finish. Let each layer dry 4 hours before applying the next layer. Should I apply a coat of wax over the topcoat? No, because it already contains some wax and silicone in the formulation. Water will bead up on it and run off. How do I maintain the topcoat? Before the topcoat fails, reapply a fresh coat of the topcoat. When you notice the topcoat beginning to fade or lose its gloss, then clean the door with either mineral spirits or an all-purpose cleaner
