CPH26
CPH26 water-based pigmented wood stain, wenge
Water-reducible pigmented wood stain in wenge. Good hiding, evens out colour variation in the timber and masks defects, lightfast. Supplied as a concentrate and let down with water; it already contains 15–20 % CFH1 binder for more even lay-down and less grain raising. Slow drying and sensitive to low temperatures.
- staining furniture in any wood species
- evening out colour variation and masking defects in the timber
- tinting exterior coatings (footnote to the CPH range, 2025 catalog)

- Coats
- 1 (a 2nd mist coat only to even out)recommended
Use a stainless fluid path (water-based). Stir before and during use — pigment settles. Lay one even wet coat, no puddles in the pores.

Production option; airless is not recommended for stain — too much material and blotching.
Cloth or pad

Spray, then rub in with a rag/pad along the grain while wet — evens the tone and drives pigment into the pores.

Process and compatibility

- Substrate preparation · Grain raising
- wet the wood, dry, then fine-sand the raised grain before water-based stainsofficial
- Goes over
- bare wood (sanded P150–P180)
- Goes under
- HTL20 SM
- Sanding · After stain
- do not sand the stain itself; denib only after the first primer coat (dealer: P280–P320 after primer)recommended
- Temperature and humidity · Range
- 18–25 °Crecommended
- Don'ts
- don't overcoat sooner than 4 h at 20 °C (longer in the cold)
- don't let it freeze
- don't flood it — pigment goes blotchy and hurts primer adhesion
- don't use plain-steel/galvanised cups or guns

Safety: Water-based, non-flammable. Gloves and glasses; when spraying wear a mist respirator and use extraction.
