- One gallon covers 3,200 square feet per coat. One quart covers 800 square feet per coat. The number of coats depends upon the porosity of the wood. For more details, view our coverage guide. No thinning necessary.
- Minimum dry time of 24 hours between coats. Poor ventilation, high humidity or cool temperatures may increase dry times.
- TRUETONE® will alter the color and appearance of the wood. Color is a very personal choice; therefore, proper testing of the entire process should be completed before beginning. Final color can be altered by sanding to different grits or using different surface preparation methods (e.g. pre-stain conditioners, water popping, etc.). Color cannot be deepened or darkened by adding an additional color coat; only one coat is recommended.
