CPH23
CPH23 Water-based pigment stain, maple
Water-reducible pigment stain in a maple shade. Evens out colour variation and hides wood defects, levels well and is lightfast. Per the dealer, CFH1 binder (15–20 %) is already in the stain for even lay-down and less grain raising.
- Colouring furniture in any wood species
- Evening out colour in solid wood and veneer
- Tinting exterior coatings (per catalog)

Standard working stain.
More water = lighter tone. Ratio taken from the CPH22 page (same series); the dealer gives no dilution figure for CPH23 — verify on a test panel. Use clean, ideally distilled/filtered water.
- WATERThinner% by weight: 400–1000 %catalog
Catalog allows up to 1000 % water for pale tints.
- CFH1Additive% by weight: 0–200 %official% by volume: 0–200 %official
Binder: lays down more evenly, raises less grain, locks the pigment in.
Official series figure (CPH22 page): 0–200 % per 100 parts concentrate. The dealer says CFH1 (15–20 %) is already added to the stain — check with your batch.
- CFH1Additive% by weight: 10–20 %dealer
For CPH concentrates without binder. For CPH23 (dealer: CFH1 already added) — only if extra levelling is needed.

- Do not sand the stain itself — the pigment cuts through to bare wood instantly. Knock down raised grain only after the first sealer coat (P280–P320).recommended
Full fan, 50 % overlap, keep moving — stopping makes dark blotches. Stir before and during use; the pigment settles.

- Don'ts
- Don't sand the stain coat.
- Don't seal before 4 h at 20 °C.
- Don't use a mild-steel cup/gun — it's water-based.
