CPS046

CPS046 Solvent-borne pigment stain, Alder

Solvent-borne pigment wood stain, ready colour 'alder'. Evens out colour variation, hides wood defects, levels well and is lightfast. Gives a light, warm honey-reddish alder tone — handy for matching pine, birch or beech to alder, or evening out alder itself. Intermixes with other CPS stains and solvent-borne stains; with CFS1 binder it can be wiped on to pop the pores on oak and ash.

  • Staining furniture in any wood species
  • Veneered panels and solid wood
  • Evening out colour variation, alder look on pine, birch, beech
  • Pore highlighting on oak/ash by wiping with CFS1 binder

Stir thoroughly — the pigment settles. Keep shaking/stirring the cup while you work. Lay one even wet coat, no puddles; go lighter on end grain (it drinks more and goes darker). To wipe: spray, give it 1-3 min, then wipe along the grain with a sponge or lint-free rag, packing pigment into the pores (pore-highlight effect on open-grain wood — needs CFS1 binder).

Cloth or pad

Wiping with a sponge or soft rag removes the excess after spraying (Technocolor's method definition). For a pore-highlight effect on oak/ash use CFS1 binder.

Roller coater (UV)

Flat parts on a roller-coater line only, 10-20 g/m². The official UV schedule (60-80 g/m², method not stated) flashes the stain 5 min at 20-25 °C before VTS20011 UV filler.
