How to Use: GreenEZ Evolve™ Soy Stains!

Enhance the beauty of your wood surfaces with GreenEZ's Evolve™ Soy Stains. These eco-friendly, non-hazardous, soy-based stains are designed to deliver vibrant, durable color while being safe for you and the environment. This guide will walk you through the steps to achieve professional results with Evolve™ Soy Stains.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

To ensure the best possible result, start by sanding the wood surface to a 220 grit level. This preparation step is crucial for achieving the ideal surface porosity, allowing for optimal penetration of the stain.

Materials Needed:

• Sandpaper (220 grit)
• Clean cloth

Instructions:

1. Sand the wood surface thoroughly to create a smooth finish.
2. Wipe away any dust with a clean, damp cloth.

Step 2: Shake the Stain Bottle

Before using Evolve™ Soy Stains, vigorously shake the bottle to ensure the product & pigments are well mixed. This guarantees an even color application.

Step 3: Dampen the Surface

Lightly moisten the wood surface with a damp, clean cloth. This helps open the wood's pores, enhancing the stain's absorption.

Step 4: Apply the Stain

Materials Needed:

• Evolve™ Soy Stains
• Lamb's wool or microfiber hand applicator (or a high-quality brush)

Instructions:

1. Pour a small amount of the stain onto the applicator.
2. Apply the stain in the direction of the wood grain for a traditional look or in circular motions for deeper penetration.
3. Ensure even distribution of the stain.

Step 5: Wipe Off Excess and Dry

Instructions:

1. Use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface, removing any excess stain.
2. Allow the stained surface to dry for 4-6 hours in a well-ventilated area. For best results, let it dry overnight indoors.

Step 6: Final Checks Before Sealing

Once the stain is thoroughly dry, inspect the surface for any dust or imperfections. Wipe off any surface dust with a clean cloth, preparing it for the final seal.

Step 7: Apply Top Coat

Seal your beautifully stained wood with GreenEZ's Furniture Shield or an equivalent top coat to protect and enhance the wood's natural beauty.
