Staining Instructions for Series 9800
Pine CompositWood™ Windows

Please read all instructions before beginning.

Begin by masking off felt strips and lightly sanding the pine surface with #400 (or above) fine sandpaper according to stain manufacturer’s instructions. Wipe surface clean with a soft cloth or tac cloth.

A pre-conditioner may be necessary when using some stains as recommended by the stain manufacturer. Using water or oil based stain, apply with a rag or sponge applicator, according to stain manufacturer’s instructions, as using a brush may cause uneven coloration or lap marks.

If applying a second coat or a polyurethane finish, wait the appropriate drying time as recommended by the stain manufacturer, usually 24 hours. Lightly sand between coats.

Other recommendations:

Do not use oil-based solvents to clean windows; use denatured alcohol.

Any white areas (i.e. resin) should be masked before staining, as they
may absorb the stain and discolor.

Dings and joints can be filled with stainable wood filler.

Please take care not to varnish weather stripping.
