CPS55
CPS55 Solvent-borne pigment wiping stain, cherry
Solvent-borne pigment wiping stain, ready colour 'cherry' (CPS51-CPS62 series). Evens out colour variation and hides defects, levels well, lightfast. Spray (with or without wiping back) or roller-coat. The official site files the series under exterior wood, the dealer under furniture stains; outdoors it must be overcoated with a weather-resistant finish.
- Staining furniture in any wood species
- Decks, verandas, gazebos, garden furniture, boardwalks, cladding, fences, landscape features — under a protective topcoat (official, series)
- Faux cherry on pale woods (beech, birch, alder, pine)
- Pore highlighting on oak/ash by wiping

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).

More overspray than HVLP; hold the gun 20-25 cm off and spray in a well-extracted booth.
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 per dealer). The official UV anegre schedule names the CPS series generically (CPS 100 / CFC3 200 / S90 200, 60-80 g/m², 5 min at 20-25 °C) — not confirmed for CPS55.
Brush
On exterior structures (fences, decks) it can be brushed on and wiped back with a rag.
