¹IMPORTANT: Spread rates are based upon properly sanded wood applied with a buffing machine. Spread rates can be lower if a trowel is used for application, and significantly lower if hand-applied with a cloth, rag, applicator or over applied. Porous or “punky” woods (e.g.: reclaimed, soft, porous, barn wood, rough-sawn, dry wood, etc.) will reduce spread rates. You may wish to order extra to avoid waiting for more to arrive if you should run out.

²NOTE: In addition to the above ¹ note, spread rates for the sample bottles are estimates – and do not include estimating the amount if hand-applied with a cloth, rag, applicator, or over applied. Sample sizes are for use on very small projects, touch ups or determining product selection. If using more than one sample size at a time, it is recommended to batch together the bottles before use.
